What is one company that is changing how we view big data? Palantir.

Imagine the network as a whole. From shipments of food to hospital bills to terrorism, everything is connected. However, massive amounts of data has been piling up. There is so much data that it makes it difficult to see where the connections really are. So, when the company is confronted with a challenge such as finding where an disease started from, Palantir looks toward building a web of information pointing in the right direction. It continuously finds an innovative way to consolidate the information that is useful. At its heart, Palantir is about intelligence amplification. It provides its clients a platform to see data and solutions it could not have seen without them.

Palantir works toward solving tomorrow’s problems. Now more than ever, people and their actions are instantaneously connected. The problem with big data is that companies do not have an easy way of viewing what it means. Palantir’s mission strives to take all the weak connections in the graph and make them stronger. With Triadic Closure, a more strongly connected graph will induce a closer knit graph with more connections. More connections lead to more solutions. Before information was exchanged through citations and encyclopedias. Now, Palantir is bringing our world much closer than six degrees of separation, leading the way for companies to utilize our network to find answers to their toughest questions.
