The rate at which organizations collect, store, share and process information increases daily. Yet data breaches, compliance failures, use of misleading information continue to make headline news.
- Are you missing up-sell and cross-sell opportunities due to the poor quality of your data?
- Do you know and understand what data you have, or how it's held and represented across multiple systems?
- Are your database and transaction audit reporting strategy lacking institutional controls, or even nonexistent?
- Are you using live production data for unit testing, with no masking of sensitive data values?
- Are you wasting resources by storing large amounts of unreferenced, inactive data on your operational databases?
- Is sensitive data potentially being exposed to theft while at rest or in transit between you and your business partners?
- Do you want a more effective way of identifying performance bottlenecks in your systems and SQL queries?
Information governance is an holistic business value driven approach to help transform data into trusted strategic assets that can be leveraged across your organization to lower cost and risks, increase an organization’s profitability, and maintain a competitive advantage.
IBM Data Management Tools for System z® offer comprehensive support for information governance solutions, enabling you to respond to ongoing requirements such as data quality, security, privacy, auditing, retention, archiving, optimization, tuning and performance analysis. These tools can help you to address your information governance issues and are structured around three entry points: data quality, security and privacy, and managing the information life cycle.
Data Quality, Security and Privacy, Managing the Information Lifecycle
Bad data is bad for business — whether classified incorrectly, architected badly or simply inaccurate. Incorrect product description can lead to legal action, while incorrect pricing can lead to financial ruin. In the case of some industries, bad data can lead to life threatening consequences. When inaccurate data is consumed by applications and people, errors are propagated across the enterprise distorting higher level information, resulting in unnecessary risks when making decisions.
Take advantage of IBM Data Management tools for System z that can help you to achieve greater confidence in your data.
Do you ever wonder who accesses, views and uses your data and for what purpose? You should. The amount of data being processed has grown rapidly as global communications create a “geographic transparency” that enables more organizations to interact and share information. While this might increase the opportunities for new business, with the chance to reach more customers, it also increases the threat of fraud.
Choose the right IBM Data Management tools for System z to help protect your information, satisfy audit requirements and increase your customers’ trust.

How you manage your data can make the difference between business success and failure. How you store your information can impact the service levels that your customers and management expect. While we collect more information, we also have to retain much of it for longer periods in line with compliance laws and regulations. The more data you have in your production systems the slower the systems can become. What happens if you suffer data loss? Can you recover from a disaster in time without affecting the business?
IBM provides data management tools for System z® to help you store, optimize and intelligently archive and recover your data, while keeping costs low.
