2021 Talk: Elevating Data to Knowledge: Practical Approach to Weave Knowledge Graph Technology in Enterprise Data Architecture

Intuit is embarking on a multi-year journey to transform from a financial product-centric company into an "AI-driven Expert Platform" company. We have aligned our enterprise data architecture and strategy to the company growth strategy, with a clean end-to-end enterprise architecture that embraces data-centric principles with an ambitious goal to elevating data to knowledge. In this talk, I will describe the burning platform of the data challenge, the e2e clean data architecture solution to overcome the challenge, and our incremental approach to apply knowledge graph technology in many aspects of the architecture. I will also share progress made and key lessons learned from the journey.
