IBM Optim - Product Overview
Optim operates in 3 areas. Optim Test Data Management (TDM), Optim Information Governance (IG) and Optim Data Growth Management (DGM)
TDM simplifies and in some cases enables the cost effective production of test data from large and complex data sources. Optim TDM creates realistic, right-sized test databases, small enough to ensure rapid test runs.
Optim IG ensures your organisation complys with industry-specific and global data privacy laws, avoiding costly fines and negative publicity.
Optim DGM allows business to archive historical data into an immutable format that can still be accessed by the original application. Optim DGM also enables application retirement whilst maintaining access to critical application data during the data retention period.
