Editors Note: This example demonstrates our earliest, least direct (though still available) method of using IRI FieldShield for NoSQL database protection; i.e., for MongoDB data masking. Read More
Business Intelligence (BI)
Introduction: As with multiple BI platforms discussed throughout this section of the IRI blog site, this article analyzes the relative data preparation performance (and benefit) of using its external data wrangling engine – via the IRI CoSort product or Voracity platform — with QlikView when ‘big data’ sources are involved. Read More
Data Migration
In the course of legacy platform and/or application migration, COBOL users often need to convert their binary and index files into a human-readable, ASCII-numeric target. One of these older formats is the ACUCOBOL Vision1 file, which we discussed previously in this article. Read More

Introduction: As with multiple BI platforms discussed throughout this section of the IRI blog site, this article analyzes the relative data preparation performance (and benefit) of IRI CoSort with Tibco Spotfire when ‘big data’ sources are involved. Read More
Big Data
Among analytic tools for statistical computation and graphics, R has shown an increase in popularity among data miners, and in the development of its open source language. Read More

Introduction: This example demonstrates an older method of using IRI FieldShield to protect sensitive data prior to indexing the data in Splunk. As you will read, FieldShield would process the data outside of Splunk and create a CSV file for Splunk’s ingestion. Read More
Data Migration
The “Multi-Table Migration Wizard” in the DBMS edition of the IRI NextForm data migration tool maps and moves data from one database to another, multiple tables at a time. Read More
Data Masking/Protection
This is an introduction to the IRI CellShield data masking tool designed specifically for PII protection in Excel. Subsequent blog articles demonstrate the different functions in CellShield: data masking, encryption, and pseudonymization. Read More
