Big Data Manipulation & Masking ISV Recognized for Fifth Straight Year

Melbourne, FL - June 12, 2020 - PR Newswire - Innovative Routines International (IRI, a/k/a The CoSort Company), has once again been listed among the data industry’s top 100 firms by Database Trends and Applications (DBTA) magazine. This is the fifth year in a row that the data management ISV was included in the “DBTA 100: The Companies That Matter Most in Data”. The list spotlights "innovative vendors [who] are addressing both emerging and long-standing challenges" in data management.

“Today, there is a constantly evolving list of data management issues that organizations are contending with. In addition to pressures of exploding data volumes, there is urgent demand for real-time, data-driven insights as well as more widespread data access,” stated DBTA Group Publisher Tom Hogan, Jr. “Expanding regulatory mandates also demand greater data quality and governance, as do cybersecurity threats,” he added.

IRI SVP and COO David Friedland concurred in IRI's acknowledgment of its 2020 list inclusion. "IRI is excited to be at the forefront of all of these trends, and to offer accessible, affordable solutions to the everyday challenges of multi-source data management that chief data officers, BI/DW solution architects, programmer/analysts, data scientists, and data governance officers require." His "View from the Top" article is featured in the DBTA 2020 issue posted on June 10th.

• Data Discovery (Profiling, Classification, Search)
• Data Integration (ETL, MDM, CDC)

• Data Quality (Validation, Cleansing, Enrichment)
• Data and Database Migration and Replication
• Static and Dynamic Data Masking

Beyond its breadth of capability, IRI software is known for superior performance in enterprise data centers, but affordability for SMBs. According to IRI Solutions Director Lisa Mangino, “Voracity users benefit from 42 years of speed improvements to IRI's default CoSort data processing program, as well as multiple Hadoop options that run many of the same jobs," allowing them to "design once, deploy many." She explained that customer savings come from IRI's "agile development around a well-integrated IP stack which is simplified by a common back- and front-end. And they appreciate our low-key approach to marketing, and deliberate lack of debt and VC which raise costs."
