ERwin Data Profiler is part of the IBM InfoSphere Discovery solution, which accelerates information centric project deployment and reduces risk by creating a 360º view of data relationships across heterogeneous sources.

Using patented capabilities, the Infosphere Discovery suite identifies and documents what data you have, where it is located and how it's linked across systems by intelligently capturing relationships and determining applied transformations and business rules.

  • Discover hidden data relationships to define "business objects" (logical groupings of data)
  • Automate the detection of sensitive data
  • Reverse engineering transformation logic
  • Prototype data consolidation rules for new projects
  • Use heuristics and sophisticated algorithms that automate an otherwise time consuming manual process.
  • Support for source data discovery of Unicode compliant sources
  • Source data support for a wide range of enterprise data sources including relational databases and any structured data source that can be represented in a text file format such as hierarchical database
  • Operating systems supported: Linux, Windows, z/OS
