Features

Capabilities for trusted data

Deep data profiling

Use deep data profiling and analysis to provide understanding of the content, quality and structure of tables and files. This includes column analysis, data classification, data quality scores, relationship analysis, multicolumn primary key analysis and overlap analysis.

    People review analytics dashboards in a computer lab, with 80% and 75% overlays

    More than 200 built-in data quality rules

    Control the ingestion of “bad” data by running data quality rules as data is being transformed and before you load it into the data warehouse, data lake or into applications. Use more than 200 built-in rules to route data to the right person to be fixed to make sure the data is trusted.

      More than 250 built-in data classes

      Identify where personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive and other classes of data are stored. You can also identify the type of data contained within a column using more than 250 built-in data classes, including credit card, taxpayer IDs and US phone numbers. Create and customize three types of data classes: valid values list, regular expression (regex) and Java class.

          Data standardization and record matching

          Synthesize all of the data coming from various sources into a common format or standard for the target environment. Remove duplicates and merge multiple systems into a single view to create accurate data that can be trusted.

            Built-in governance

            Take advantage of the Health Summary by Data Rules report, which also shows rules not linked to information governance to support the enablement of data rules for exception management.

              On-premises or cloud deployment

              Transition into a private or public cloud with flexible deployment options and subscription pricing. You can extend your on-premises capacity or move directly to the cloud. Realize faster time-to-value, reduce administration costs and lower risk subscription pricing.
