The Future of Enterprise AI starts with Knowledge Graphs – Powered by SAP HANA Cloud

Let’s Talk Data: Business Technology Podcast | SAP

In this insightful episode of the Let’s Talk Data Podcast by SAP, host Niklas Siemer is joined by Shabana Samsudheen to explore the exciting new Knowledge Graph Engine in SAP HANA Cloud. The conversation dives deep into what knowledge graphs are, how they transform data analysis, and the value they unlock for organizations already using HANA Cloud—or considering it.

Together, they break down key concepts like multi-model data processing, real-time insights, and the seamless integration of relational, document, spatial, and graph data. Shabana shares practical guidance on how to model, build, and use knowledge graphs effectively, including how to enhance AI applications like recommendation systems, search engines, and large language models (LLMs).

Key Topics of Discussion:

• What Knowledge Graphs Are and Why They Matter
  Explanation of knowledge graphs, how they differ from traditional data models, and their role in connecting entities and relationships for deeper data insights.
