IRI Voracity

IRI Voracity is a unified, enterprise-grade data management platform designed for end-to-end data discovery, integration (ETL/ELT), governance, migration, test data management, and AI data preparation. Developed by Innovative Routines International (IRI), Voracity consolidates multiple standalone data tools into a single operational stack powered by the high-performance IRI CoSort manipulation engine. Core Architecture & Execution Model Voracity utilizes an in-memory, single-pass processing framework to maximize throughput and eliminate infrastructure overhead: * In-Memory Single-Pass Engine (CoSort): Instead of staging intermediate data across temporary database tables or disk storage, Voracity executes multi- threaded data transformation, sorting, joining, data quality filtering, and masking simultaneously in-memory. * IRI Workbench IDE: Jobs are managed and built in IRI Workbench, an Eclipse-based integrated development environment featuring visual workflow designers, schema mappers, dialog wizards, and syntax-aware text editors. * Metadata-Driven 4GL (SortCL): Job definitions use open, human-readable SortCL (Sort Control Language) text scripts, allowing direct integration into Git repositories, CI/CD automation pipelines, and modern DevOps tools without proprietary repository lock-in. Automated Data Classification & Discovery Before applying protection or pipelines, Voracity uses a centralized data labeling framework within IRI Workbench: * Unified Data Classification: Users automatically scan and map corporate data sources to establish shared data classes and groups tailored to specific privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) or sensitivity levels. * Persistent Masking Logic: Once data classification rules are mapped to a specific data class, those exact rules are reused consistently across all integration, synthesis, and anonymization workflows, preserving referential integrity. Key Functional Capabilities * Test Data Management (TDM) & Privacy (RowGen, FieldShield, DarkShield): o Synthetic Data Generation (IRI RowGen): Creates referentially intact, highly realistic synthetic test datasets from scratch using data dictionaries, DDLs, and custom business logic, removing production privacy risks entirely. o Advanced Structured Governance (IRI FieldShield): Connects to structured databases, flat files, ASN.1-compatible call detail records (CDRs), legacy COBOL files, and Excel spreadsheets. While other engines mask data, FieldShield uniquely scales to support advanced business logic, conditional rules, and statistical re-identification (re-ID) risk scoring to calculate and mitigate information leakage from quasi-identifiers. o Multi-Source & Semi-Structured Security (IRI DarkShield): Built to scan and redact PII/PHI hidden in unstructured text, PDFs, logs, and images, as well as complex semi-structured formats like JSON, XML, NoSQL collections, and Kafka streams. Additionally, DarkShield is highly capable of executing structured data masking in relational databases, sharing the same data classification matching patterns as FieldShield. * AI, Machine Learning & LLM Data Preparation: o Feature Engineering & Cleansing: Aggregates, normalizes, standardizes, and cleanses massive multi-source datasets to feed downstream ML training pipelines. o Textual ETL & Compliant RAG Pipelines: Sanitizes enterprise documents, semi-structured logs, and free-text streams while extracting structured attributes via textual ETL to build clean, compliant vector databases for Retrieval- Augmented Generation (RAG) and LLM fine-tuning. o Synthetic Training Sets: Utilizes RowGen to generate synthetic training data to balance edge-case distributions and mitigate data scarcity without violating privacy regulations. * Real-Time Change Data Capture & Sync (IRI Ripcurrent): o Tracks transactional log changes across relational engines (Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL) to capture inserts, updates, and deletes in real time. o Dynamically applies FieldShield data masking rules in-flight during replication streams to protect sensitive targets. * Data Integration (ETL/ELT) & Data Quality: o Connects natively across relational databases, NoSQL engines, cloud object stores (S3, Azure Blob, GCS), message queues (Kafka, MQTT), and legacy mainframe files (VSAM, ISAM, EBCDIC). o Applies validation, data scrubbing, deduplication, and schema standardizations directly within the ETL flow. Operational Security & Job Governance (IRI OGS) To ensure enterprise-level compliance and control across data management workflows, Voracity can be paired with the IRI Operational Governance System (OGS) runtime framework. OGS wraps around SortCL-driven execution jobs to enforce job and data access control policies, verify the integrity of job scripts, and capture granular audit logs, giving compliance and security teams full accountability across all transformation, migration, and masking jobs. Why Choose Voracity Over Traditional Data Stacks * Consolidated Tool Footprint: Replaces fragmented licenses for standalone ETL, data masking, quality, CDC, and test data management software with a unified runtime and design interface. * High-Throughput Transformation: Reduces hardware utilization and eliminates staging bottlenecks via multi-threaded, in-memory processing. * DevOps & Git-Friendly: Bypasses proprietary binary repositories in favor of plain-text, version-controllable SortCL scripts.

MyDataWork

MyDataWork is a workspace for data analysts, analytics engineers, and BI developers who manage recurring work across multiple files, tools, and stakeholders. It brings together asset cataloging, data lineage visualization, use case tracking, business outcome measurement, and AI-powered analysis in one place built specifically for how analysts actually work. Most analytics teams operate without a central record of their work. Files live in folders. Context lives in people's heads. The value of data investment stays invisible until someone asks — and by then, reconstructing the answer takes longer than it should. MyDataWork fixes that at the individual analyst level and scales the benefit to managers, IT leaders, and the organization as a whole. Asset catalog and data lineage MyDataWork reads metadata from local files — Excel, SQL, Python, Alteryx, Tableau, Power BI, CSV — and cloud platforms including GitHub, dbt Cloud, Databricks, and Snowflake to build a live asset catalog automatically. No manual entry required. Data lineage is built from the same metadata, showing which files feed which reports and which pipelines support which dashboards. External dependencies — data sources referenced in files but not yet tracked — are surfaced with amber flagging so invisible risks become visible before they cause problems. Use case tracking and outcome measurement Analysts connect their assets to documented use cases that record what each deliverable is for, who depends on it, what the objective is, and how progress is measured against a baseline and target. Estimated and realized value is tracked across the portfolio. A statistical outlier detection layer flags reported values that look unusual relative to comparable work — helping analysts walk into stakeholder conversations with numbers they can defend. AI-powered analysis Six AI features help analysts go further: use case recommendations, reuse opportunity identification, automation candidate analysis, external marketplace data discovery, tool migration and modernization evaluation, and a context-aware workspace assistant available on every screen. Integrations and export MyDataWork integrates with Jira to push use case updates directly to tickets with one click. Portfolio summaries export as PowerPoint or PDF for leadership conversations and governance reviews — no app access required for stakeholders. Built for individual analysts and analytics teams of any size who want to organize their work, demonstrate its value, and hand off context without losing institutional knowledge.
