  • Patent number: 8001607
    Abstract: A system for obfuscating data across an enterprise, comprising a rule evaluator; an active rule editor; and an active rule editor repository; wherein the rule evaluator evaluates active rules and optimizes its behavior based on both user-specified guidance and properties learned during system execution; wherein the active rule editor provides functionality for specifying, examining, maintaining, simulating and testing active rule behavior and for documenting rules that are bound to any named and typed data spaces of the enterprise that are accessible through connectors to the data systems of the enterprise; and wherein the active rule editor and repository provide functionality for promoting a candidate rule to an active rule and managing the rule in its active state. A method for obfuscating data across an enterprise using the system described above.

  • Patent number: 7251693
    Abstract: System and method for data quality management and control of heterogeneous data systems. In a preferred embodiment, the system functions as a resource management tool that simplifies the process of managing data systems. More specifically, the system provides connections to source data systems, allows users to view data structures and enables simple management and manipulation of data contained within possibly heterogeneous data systems. The system utilizes an advanced graphical user interface, which allows users to access and manage systems using a simple point and click methodology. The system uses portals, which are tools that collect, visualize, analyze and directly edit data sets associated with different data sources. In another aspect, the system keeps track of its operational status, allowing users to automatically reproduce in one logon session work done in the previous session, without the need to replicate previous data analysis.
