target=\"_blank\">Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) goals today announced the
Solix Data Privacy Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite. The Solix Data Privacy Pack
for Oracle E-Business Suite can be deployed on non-production databases to ensure
customer and employee privacy by obscuring sensitive data such as names, addresses,
social security numbers and other sensitive data prior to the data being released to
the test and development environment.

Regulators in the US and European Union are increasing focusing their attention on
ensuring that data privacy is maintained for both customers and employees.
Enterprise applications such as Oracle E-Business Suite are natural repositories of
sensitive personal information. Unlike email or document repositories where access
is secured by user level security, application test data management processes
require clones of production data be made to perform mission critical application
development, testing, and training operations. The non-production clones routinely
made by IT departments often do not contain the same level of data security rigor as
production systems, potentially exposing customer and employee data to malicious
use.

"Scrambled data should be used to avoid risk of compromising personal data, both
from a legal and good business practice perspective. Correctly scrambled data is
not personal data because it cannot identify a living person", said Thomas Otter,
Gartner Research Director, "but scrambled data should follow the correct formatting
rules, such that postal codes, bank account details, social security numbers, and
dates are valid to test interfaces or transfers. This requires application level
scrambling competence and tools."

The Solix Data Privacy Pack for Oracle E-Business suite pre-defines data masking
routines for a limited set of sensitive data fields such as name, address, Social
Security Numbers, or credit card numbers in select Oracle E-Business Suite modules.
Solix Data Privacy Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite masks the specific fields that
could be used by identity thieves yet relational and data formatting is maintained
so test and development procedures can proceed uninterrupted. The Solix Data Privacy
Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite gives IT organizations the ability to
de-personalize sensitive data before releasing to test and development personnel,
reducing risk of data loss in non-production environments, ensuring privacy laws and
regulations are met and separating database administration from security. Pricing
for the Solix Data Privacy Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite starts at $25K plus
support and services.

"After conducting a thorough survey, we realized many organizations are leaning
towards build rather than buy solutions and ending up doing nothing. We decided to
build this market with a price point where cost of building and maintaining is
higher than buying. The Solix Data Privacy Pack provides organizations with an easy
entry point to ensure customer and employee privacy without disrupting the test and
development process," said Sai Gundavelli, CEO of Solix Technologies, "that
separates the audit and risk management functions from the test data management
function."

Solix Data Privacy Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite is part of the Solix href=\"http://www.solix.com/enterprise_data_management.htm\"
target=\"_blank\">Enterprise Data Management Suite (href=\"http://www.solix.com/solix_EDMS.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Solix EDMS) that
