Case Study: Amgen maps referral networks and influential providers with TigerGraph

Amgen analyzes 5 billion vertices and 20 billion edges with TigerGraph

Amgen, one of the world's largest biotechnology companies, faced a significant challenge analyzing terabytes of data on doctors, patients, and their interactions to map referral networks between healthcare providers. Their existing relational database systems were inadequate for finding these connections at such a massive scale. They turned to the graph database and analytics platform from TigerGraph for a solution.

By implementing TigerGraph, Amgen was able to load its data much faster and perform complex computations on a massive graph containing 5 billion vertices and 20 billion edges. The TigerGraph solution successfully identified referral networks, common patients, and the most influential providers. This has provided Amgen's marketing and branding teams with critical insights to better inform healthcare providers about medicines, ultimately aiming to positively impact the quality of care for millions of patients.
