Unprecedented data growth is overwhelming the enterprise IT infrastructure resulting in operational inefficiencies, security and compliance risks and reduced application development productivity. One instance of the cascading effect of operational inefficiency is when Infrastructure Group has to deliver Clones, say for application testing for a new business initiative.

In this session, we will see how Duke Energy, a Fortune 500 company, has benefited from a holistic Test Data Management Strategy and learn best practices on how to improve operational inefficiencies and improve business agility.

We will see how Duke Energy using the Solix Enterprise Data Management Platform:

* Provisions rapidly small test data subsets of Customer and Financial data;
* reduces project storage requirements;
* secures sensitive data in test copies;
* improves the application development lifecycle.

During the session we will learn that adopting a framework and discipline of a comprehensive Test Data Management Strategy is a best practice since businesses can no longer afford long application development cycles and nor can they afford data breaches.
