Data Transformation
During the design of IRI Voracity workflows in the IRI Workbench (Eclipse) GUI, you can preview the results of one or more transforms before saving or running the project. Read More
Big Data
Note: This example demonstrates a more direct method of using IRI FieldShield or IRI Voracity to statically mask PII within structured MongoDB collections. Our older how-to-article on indirect data masking of MongoDB through export/mask/import from 2015 is here, and a newer method through MongoDB’s native driver support in CoSort v10 from 2018 is here.

Data Transformation
IRI software can now perform advanced date/time format conversion and value calculation using the C++ Boost© Date_Time library. It supports input date and/or time data in generic or custom formats, the ability to add or subtract by time unit (i.e., Read More
Data Quality (DQ)
Customers drive business, and they want to be understood and valued. That starts with getting their (only) name right, and having an accurate view of their transaction history, preferences, and related information. Read More
Business Intelligence (BI)
The Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD), or entity relationship model, is a visual depiction of database tables (entities) and how they are linked through primary and foreign keys (relationships) to each other. Read More
Data Migration
Note: This article showcases the migration of a relational database (RDB) model to star schema using the Eclipse IDE for the IRI Voracity data management platform (and its included products) called IRI Workbench, following an introduction to both types of schema. Read More
ETL
IRI RowGen users can generate structurally and referentially correct synthetic test data for an entire database in a single operation. The test data reflects production characteristics (such as values ranges and frequencies) normally encountered in database or ETL operations, but does not require access to, or the masking of, real data.

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.
