Developing and deploying business-critical applications in a timely fashion is a key requirement for every IT organization. Achieving this necessitates model-driven data governance to manage the data throughout its lifecycle, mitigating compliance risks.

The IBM Optim family of products offers an integrated platform for defining, integrating, protecting, and managing trusted information across your systems. Some of the IBM Optim products are:

Optim Test Data Management (TDM) allows you to quickly extract a meaningful, related subset of production data and optionally mask it. Optim TDM allows you to test your applications with data that accurately reflects production systems while protecting sensitive information.

Optim Data Privacy The key capability of Optim Data Privacy is to de-identify sensitive data while maintaining data relationships. It can integrate with a wide range of data movement tools, data sources, and operating environments.

Optim Archive manages the volume, speed, and complexity of data growth for reduced storage costs and improved performance. It enables you to manage data more efficiently and securely, according to business rules and criteria that you define. Optim Archive offers a single, scalable solution to implement consistent data management strategies throughout the enterprise.
