Big Data
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
Business Intelligence (BI)
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
Data Quality (DQ)
Introduction This is my third installment of blog articles about Data Quality. In the first article, I postulated that data has quality when it has an acceptable level of errors. Read More
Data Masking/Protection
Editors Updates: Q2’16: In addition to the database profiling wizard in the data discovery menu group in IRI Workbench described below, IRI has introduced robust data classification that enables the application of field rules for multi-source data transformation and protection through data class libraries. Read More
Big Data
Introduction: This example demonstrates an older method of using the unstructured data edition of IRI NextForm to extract dark data and prepare it for ingestion in Splunk for indexing and visualization purposes. Read More
Big Data
To compete effectively, business users must be able to rapidly produce and present accurate, concise, and compliant information. Whether the analytic discipline is diagnostic, descriptive, predictive, or prescriptive, time-to-visualization matters. Read More
Business Intelligence (BI)
Data architects and data scientists, as well as DBAs and governance teams, may need to use or migrate data in legacy file formats and databases. Additionally, the ability to mash-up those sources with newer file and database repositories is important in data integration (ETL) and analytic projects, as well as in data profiling for data loss prevention and privacy law compliance. Read More
Business Intelligence (BI)
In the previous article, “Affordable BIRT Acceleration via CoSort,” we explained the nature and benefits of a new seamless integration between the SortCL big data preparation program in IRI CoSort and thus IRI Voracity and the Business Intelligence Reporting Tool (BIRT) in Eclipse. Read More
