Grid-Tools Release Enhanced Data Masking Functionality for Mainframe Users

Oxford, United Kingdom, November 24, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Grid-Tools Limited, the leading vendor of test data management, test data generation and data masking software and solutions, is pleased to announce enhanced data masking solutions for mainframe users.

The company’s award-winning Enterprise Data Masking™ suite now provide full native support for data masking and subsetting for z/OS on DB2, VSAM, IMS and Non-Indexed Files.

“We recognise that in order to achieve success in testing and development, a company must be able to provide accurate and consistent data that is a representation of their entire environment,” said Huw Price, Managing Director at Grid-Tools. “This enhancement makes data masking for mainframe fast and easy, ensures compliance with all industry regulations and significantly improves all mainframe integration activities.”

The data masking solutions include the ability to implement dynamic masking routines and to return masked values to an application. In addition, users will now also be able to subset, unload and mask, and write to a flat file that can be loaded into DB2.

“In essence, mainframe masking can now be a simple and straightforward process,” adds Price, “and Enterprise Data Masking™ can provide all the flexibility and functionality required to deliver meaningful, compliant test data.”
