It appears their innovation will influence the supply chain. If we ever get to the point where companies are willing to be open and share information this type of searching could have a big impact on the supply chain as you mentioned. I’m just not sure when that will be. Where I could see a Graph Search having an immediate impact would be internal social networks. Now instead of sending a mass email out to 300 people with a question, hoping that someone is at their desk, and they have time to respond you can do a Graph Search. This could be a huge time saver. Global companies with resources spread over many times zones could now use their internal social network to get key answers to key supply chain questions instantly, instead of it taking a day or two. As for an example topic that might be asked, anything compliance or security related.
