Podcast Interview with Aaron Wallace, Pitney Bowes

One of the coolest use cases for a graph databases that has seen a big uptake in the past couple of months and years, is Master Data Management. Kind of a vague term, but Wikipedia defines it as
master data management (MDM) comprises the processes, governance, policies, standards and tools that consistently define and manage the critical data of an organization to provide a single point of reference
Sounds about right to me. Lots of customers have been developing their own solutions to their specific MDM problems, but some people have been thinking about this in a generic, generalized way. Like for example our customer Pitney Bowes. They have been early adopters of Neo4j, and have been articulating that vision for the longest time: see this video from 2014 (including other folks from UBS, TomTom, eBay/Shutl as well), and more recently a recording of a talk that Aaron Wallace, one of Pitney Bowes' product managers and my guest on today's podcast, did in 2015 at GraphConnect.
