🔍 Feature Suggestion: Intelligent Anonymization in EPM Board 🔍

Hello everyone,

I’d like to propose an enhancement to EPM Board that could bring significant value to our user community: the integration of a feature enabling easy anonymization of database dimensions and data.

This feature would allow users to easily mask sensitive information, thus streamlining the creation of demonstration databases for pre-sales. With just a few clicks, it would be possible to prepare demo or test environments without compromising the confidentiality of actual data. This could save considerable time for pre-sales teams by making demo preparation faster and more secure.

Additionally, with the advancements in artificial intelligence that the team is currently developing, it could be worthwhile to explore the possibility of using AI to generate realistic, anonymized substitution data.

I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on this suggestion and your perspectives on the potential value of such a feature for our community.

Thank you, and looking forward to your feedback !

    Very good idea đź‘Ť

  • Not only that but also automatically decreasing volumes for testing or debugging purposes.

    An anonymised database with several 1M+ member entities cannot be studied on the local machine. But if we reduce its volume to 1k+, yes.

    I have an onpremise customer with sensitive data in the database and they are reluctant to send the database to Board support when asked. A tool like that may help in that use case too.
