TESTIMONIALS

“THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENT IS ONE OF THE PRINCIPLE OPERATIONAL GOALS OF THE EKG fOUNDATION"
DENNIS E. WISNOSKY / CO-FOUNDER, EKG FOUNDATION
FORMER CTO U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
FIBO PROCESS OWNER

“DATA FRAGMENTATION HAS BECOME A SIGNIFICANT LIABILITY FOR FIRMS WHO WIND UP SPENDING COUNTLESS HOURS AND SIGNIFICANT MONEY MOVING DATA FROM ONE PLANE TO ANOTHER AND RECONCILING DATA MEANING. THE MORE COST-EFFECTIVE APPROACH IS TO ADOPT SEMANTIC STANDARDS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO RESOLVE AND MAP DATA IN A UNIFORM WAY ACROSS ALL DATA PIPELINES."
JACOBUS GELUCK / CO-FOUNDER, EKG FOUNDATION
CTO AT AGNOS.AI, FORMER LEAD ARCHITECT AT BNY MELLON

“THE FOUNDATION IS DEFINING A SET OF STANDARD CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING CAPABILITY READINESS IN EKG ENVIRONMENTS. WE ARE WORKING ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MASTER PORTAL OF PUBLISHED ONTOLOGIES, USE CASES, AND OTEHR RESOURCES NEEDED FOR SUSTAINABLE KNOWLEDGE GRAPH OPERATIONS."
