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)
A dimension is a structure that categorizes a collection of information so that meaningful answers to questions regarding that information may be obtained. Dimensions in data management and data warehouses contain relatively static data; however, this dimensional data can change slowly over time and at unpredictable intervals. Read More
Data Masking/Protection
IRI is now also delivering fuzzy search functions, both in its free database and flat-file profiling tools, and as available field-function libraries in IRI CoSort, FieldShield, and Voracity to augment data quality, security, and MDM capabilities. Read More
Business Intelligence (BI)
The concept of mashups is a simple one: combining separate, typically heterogeneous elements into a single, compound, and useful system. A stick, some rope, and a sharp rock all have their worthy independent uses; but, when combined, they become a spear to make hunting and survival easier. Read More
Data Masking/Protection
This article looks at sets from an informational processing perspective; what they are; how they are constructed; and, distinct ways in which data can be drawn from sets within IRI software products using the SortCL data definition and processing program; i.e., Read More
Data Transformation
In data warehouses, it is common to map discrete data values to a set of ranges. This makes it easier to write queries that involve a range of discrete values. Read More
Test Data
A universally unique identifier, or UUID, is an identifier standard used in software construction and data processing. The main function of the UUID is to be a unique identifier in registries, databases, or larger data stores like a data warehouse. Read More
Business Intelligence (BI)
Dimensional data that change slowly or unpredictably are captured in Slowly Changing Dimensions (SCD) analyses. In a data warehouse environment, a dimension table has a primary key that uniquely identifies each record and other pieces of information that are known as the dimensional data. Read More
