Database Tools Discovery Partners

Company Overview

Database tools discovery partners help buyers connect data access needs to the right audience and the right governance model. They may specialize in reporting and analytics enablement, developer tooling, or data governance and security for Db2 for i environments.

Because easier data access can create new exposure, the strongest partners treat governance as part of the initial project, not a later add-on.

Best Fit

Best fit for buyers opening up Db2 for i access to a new audience, such as analysts or business users, who need governance handled alongside tooling.

Recommended Use Cases

• Teams opening up Db2 for i access for analysts or business users
• Organizations pairing database tool selection with modernization plans
• Buyers who need governance and security guidance alongside tooling

Strengths

• Scope access and permissions before opening reporting tools to new users
• Tune Db2 for i performance issues that surface once access broadens
• Balance developer productivity tooling against governance requirements

Considerations

• Ask how they approach row and column-level security, not just table access
• Confirm experience with the specific reporting or analytics tool being considered
• Clarify who owns data governance policy once the project ships

Discovery Steps

• Identify who actually needs improved data access
• Define governance and security requirements upfront
• Match the partner to reporting, development, or governance needs
