Clearly, as the cost of storage plummets and Big Data piles up, the risk to your organization only continues to grow.
A combination of both software and consulting services, the BTRG Data Masking Factory is the only solution on the market today that effectively occupies the space where Big Data and data privacy converge.
The engine powering The Data Masking Factory is a combination of IBM's Optim™ Test Data Management and Data Privacy functionality and our proprietary Masking Automation Software.

"Buckley Data is Big Data"
Big Data represents a fundamental shift in business decision making. Organizations are used to analyzing internal data– sales, shipments, inventory. Now they are increasingly analyzing external data too, gaining new insights into customers, markets, supply chains and operations: the perspective that Capgemini calls the "outside-in view". We believe it is big data and the outside-in view that will generate the biggest opportunities for differentiation over the next five to ten years.
Capgemini's Business Information Management services address the whole information lifecycle to ensure your organization gets real business value from its data resources. Together with your organization and benefitting from its deep industry knowledge, Capgemini creates and delivers business and technology solutions that fit your needs and drive the results you want. With over 7500 BIM consultants worldwide sharing a comprehensive approach, Capgemini's Business Information Management helps customers leverage enterprise data for competitive advantage.

Acquisition, Marshalling, Analysis, Action and Data Governance which covers IBM's Information Management portfolio.
Capgemini's CoE dedicated to big data utilizes IBM technology to provide accelerator tools and demonstrators which support client's big data business-centric use cases.
"The challenge for modern business is to leverage the right information at the right point to get the right decision. Capgemini and IBM Software's collaboration in making this happen is founded on over 20 years of joint work in the Information Management and Integration space which has put in place the foundations on which the next generation of big data challenges can be addressed. Big data and Predictive Analytics are not simply technologies in themselves, they require business understanding and technology foundations to ensure high quality and reliable decision making. By working together on Big Data Capgemini and IBM are ensuring that IBM Software's big data solutions are delivering real business value."
Steve Jones, Director of Strategy for Big Data and Analytics at Capgemini

How we integrate with IBM and what value add we bring:
Our Applied Customer Insight portfolio enables organizations to capture, interpret and act upon data acquired from the multiple places where customers engage, and apply that insight collaboratively across the whole business operation. We provide full life cycle services and solutions to support our clients in the areas of:
- Capture: augmenting the existing customer information with data from digital channels to create near real time insight,
- Interpret: nurturing collaborative working culture where people across the organization can interpret the insight for action,
- Act: delivering a great, real time customer experience by extending existing customer and channel management services with digital capabilities.
Our clients usually already successfully create value from the large amounts of data that it manages – both for itself and for its customers. However there are increasing external sources of data that our clients may not have used before that might provide very relevant customer and market information. Understanding the behavior and sentiment of customers requires social listening, capturing what is said about your client in the social world, establishing the clients social footprint.
Capturing that data, infer meaning from it and integrate it with client's internal data sources requires solutions referred to in the marketplace as "Big Data". Big data is the fuel that powers our Applied Customer Insight portfolio.
"CGI's BI practice targets clients that need help to design, build, integrate and manage their BI portfolio or solutions. Clients should look to include Logica for projects for a more complete solution that provides business value. CGI is a good fit for clients looking for a provider that can provide deep industry skills in one of its focus verticals."

An IBM survey found that more than half of business IT leaders realized that in order to compete in a globally-integrated economy, today's organizations need a comprehensive understanding of markets, customers, products, regulations, competitors, suppliers, employees and more. This understanding demands the effective use of information and analytics.
Big Data for the analysis of static data and data in motion now makes it possible to immediately exploit large volumes of structured data available in their original form, but also semi-structured and unstructured data available in a wide variety of sources when it is necessary to analyze all the data and when processing of a sample is not significant and thus does not provide effective results.
