All sectors of financial services are globalizing. This is particularly true for developing countries. A bank not only has to conform to local regulations of its home country, but also of the other countries in which it has its operations. Financial services data management allows companies to identify data that meets specific data security and retention requirements and automate how data is protected and managed throughout its entire lifecycle.

Retailers are taking measures to improve retail data security around consumer data, but more can be done.  When retailer IT data centers make copies of their production database systems, the copies contain the same customer sensitive information as the production environment. Enterprise Data Management is a best practice that can be implemented in a retailer’s data center to mitigate risk associated with managing consumer sensitive data.

Oracle data masking is a proven strategy to obscure specific fields that identify an individual, potentially exposing customers or employees to identity theft or other forms of privacy invasion. Data Auditing provides enterprises with the tools to classify data based on its sensitivity, define policies at the database level that determine how that data should be managed, and automatically monitors and logs any changes to application data.

Baan database allows companies to securely manage their archiving processes. There is no need for multiple installations of database tools or application metadata for each server environment.

Ensure sensitive data remains protected against the largest security threat: internal resources. Financial services data management allows financial services companies to identify data that meets specific data security and retention requirements and automate how data is protected and managed throughout its entire lifecycle.

Retailers are taking measures to improve retail data security around consumer data, but more can be done.  When retailer IT data centers make copies of their production database systems, the copies contain the same customer sensitive information as the production environment.  Audit controls and data security policies need to be extended to the non-production systems to ensure customer data is safe at all stages of the application development lifecycle.

Data masking is a proven strategy to obscure specific fields that identify an individual, potentially exposing customers or employees to identity theft or other forms of privacy invasion. Utilizing oracle data masking to scramble, encrypt, shuffle or otherwise mask names, addresses, credit card numbers, salaries, or social security numbers; privacy is ensured and relational integrity is maintained.

Manage test data is a strategy for organizations to manage their test and development processes to meet application development and testing requirements, streamline cloning processes and secure data so organizations are equipped to deliver the clones needed to meet upgrade and patch cycles and maintain data security.

Health data management solutions enable centralized management of data classification and security policies. At the core of the EDMS is the Enterprise Metadata Manager, which manages multiple applications and data types across all hardware platforms through a unified policy manager.

Organizations can create and deploy consistent policies for managing, securing and storing data from a single console with the help of application archiving. The result is improved application performance and availability through smaller production database sizes, shorter backup and recovery times, reduced labor costs to maintain the production system and lower storage costs.

It is a common fact that most database applications store company’s confidential details such as employee information, client information, company’s financial details etc. Most often these details need to be shared with developers and others while providing production support for upgrades, training, outsourcing etc. As a result there is a great risk of this data being used for unlawful activities. Data Masking helps in protecting data in less secure environments.

Data migration is a metadata based tool that allows companies to map metadata between applications and create conversion rules for faster and seamless data migration. It acts as an efficient project accelerator for migrations of any nature. Data management solutions provide organizations with the tools to mitigate risk, reduce storage costs, enforce consistent security policies, data auditing, and to retire legacy applications.

Information lifecycle management solutions are designed to help enterprises manage data growth by providing the tools to classify, archive and migrate data to improve application performance and reduce administrative overhead and infrastructure costs. Users of Oracle E-Business Suite, Baan, Oracle JD Edwards, Oracle PeopleSoft, Siebel and more are benefit a great deal by data archiving.

Enterprise class business applications require multiple copies be made to support test data management processes such as patch, test, QA, and training. Most companies make 6-8 full size clones for every production application, not only wasting storage and time in cloning but potentially exposing sensitive application data to the test environment. Database masking provides companies with a centralized solution to manage the test data management process for clone creation, productivity and data security.

Application retirement allows organizations to implement data migration projects across applications: Legacy, Mainframe, BaaN, JDE, PeopleSoft, Siebel Oracle, SAP, etc. while allowing changes to chart of accounts, organization structure, costing methods, etc.

Data management solutions provide organizations with the tools to mitigate risk, reduce storage costs, enforce consistent security policies, database auditing, and to retire legacy applications. They also help in data archiving so as to support eDiscovery by creating a secure, controlled, and searchable archive for all data - application, email, documents and other files.

With archiving in peoplesoft, organizations can implement policy based schemes for automatically migrating out of Tier 1 production stores into lower cost Tier 2 storage, ensuring application performance, faster back-up and recovery and lower total cost of storage.

Database cloning creates a database template and restores or inserts only the transactions or modules needed. The Insert Method for database cloning allows IT organizations to create subsets much faster as only the data needed for the test is cloned, resulting in a faster cloning process and reduced storage requirement. Whichever subset method is used, referential integrity is maintained.

Application retirement is a viable strategy for eliminating redundant legacy applications, thereby improving operational efficiency and reducing costs. By reducing the number of applications within the IT infrastructure, DBAs can concentrate on maintaining critical business applications with the highest value to the organization, instead of compiling data from disparate sources. Enterprise data management application provides companies with a centralized solution to manage the test data management process for clone creation, productivity and data security.
