| i/Lytics® takes enterprise-wide data analysis, data quality management and regulatory compliance to a new level, as a Web services-enabled solution that is both full-functioned and browser-based. These capabilities — combined with an open metadata repository, heightened security features, and other unique Innovative capabilities — significantly enhance data profiling and data management performance, flexibility and organization-wide usability. |
|
Enables Data Quality Processing as Part of Data Profiling
i/Lytics’ next-generation data profiling capabilities permit integrated data quality transformations as part of the data profiling methodology. Previous generation data profiling technologies were capable of analyzing raw data only. Profiling source data prior to data quality transformations may result in wasted productivity due to inaccurate analysis and the identification of problems that would have been natively resolved during the subsequent transformation phase.
|
|
| i/Lytics’ integrated data management routines permit robust parsing, transformation, standardization, address verification, duplicate identity matching, and householding as part of the data profiling process. Users can view the data in its raw source format, view the results of the data transformation process, and/or define new transformation routines for future processing based on the results of the profiling exercise. |
|
Connectivity to Multiple Sources
i/Lytics can process data directly from a virtually unlimited number of source environments, making it ideal for large organizations with geographically dispersed locations. It provides powerful database connectivity adapters — from flat file to dozens of native RDBMS applications — and strengthens collaborative initiatives between IT and business users.
|
|
Fully Open, Non-Proprietary Repository
i/Lytics’ open and configurable repository enables you to structure the solution to your needs and preferences, utilizing preferred corporate database servers and licenses. You define the database and server — or even multiple servers — and configure it to your needs and specifications.
|
|
| Unlike proprietary data repositories typical of other solutions on the market, i/Lytics’ metadata repository is fully accessible. You can restructure the metadata to your processing parameters and share the repository database with virtually any business intelligence solution (such as Business Objects, Cognos, SAS, and MicroStrategy). |
|
Enhanced Security, Including LDAP
(Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) Authentication
i/Lytics both strengthens and streamlines security management by providing a registry for authentication utilizing existing corporate LDAP authorization. Its capability enables single-point definition of multi-tiered roles and privileges by group or individual user — reinforcing security management and reducing overhead, without weakening access or functionality for authorized users.

|
Unique Heuristic Knowledgebases
i/Lytics' exceptional speed and accuracy are based on its heuristic knowledgebases of words, phrases and word patterns — they can "learn" about your data, with your input, and become "smarter" and more efficient over time. This increases the value of your investment, and reduces your overall cost of ownership.
|
|
| Using its built-in intelligence, i/Lytics parses and standardizes the data components … analyzes word meanings and patterns within each record … and then selects the most appropriate information for comparison. It identifies potential duplicate records and related name and address household information, in spite of misspellings, character transpositions, aliases, acronyms, data extensions and missing entries. This built-in intelligence differentiates i/Lytics from approaches that use "fuzzy" matching logic, reducing the time, expense and resources required for implementation. And since the knowledgebases do not have to be re-programmed with each new application, your technicians can immediately focus on creating the cleansing, linking and other processing rules. |
|
Repeatable and Tunable
A key advantage of i/Lytics is that its heuristic algorithms are fully extensible. This means the rules built for one application can be reused for other applications, without having to redevelop and retool the programming due to new or different match comparison fields — saving time, money, and valuable IT resources.
|
|
Customizable, Rules-Based Processing
i/Lytics' built-in intelligence is complemented by its rules-based methodology that enables you to define the specific processing criteria and options to meet your own data standards, business rules and customer information needs.
|
|
Variety of Deployment Options
i/Lytics offers full flexibility of deployment. It is available as licensed software in both real-time and batch mode (deployable also via the Internet and Intranet), as a hosted ASP solution, or on a service basis. |
