Broadcom (CA) → IBM Optim

Move off Broadcom Test Data tools, without starting over

Rising renewal costs and changing support terms have many teams rethinking their Broadcom (formerly CA) Test Data and mainframe data tools. We move your existing projects, masking rules and archives to IBM Optim with a measured plan, not a rip-and-replace.

FROM

What we migrate

  • Broadcom Test Data Manager (TDM) projects, subsets and masking rules
  • CA mainframe data tools, such as the Db2 administration and RC tools
  • Data in Db2 for z/OS, VSAM and distributed databases
TO

Where you land

  • IBM Optim Test Data Management and Data Privacy, NextGen or InfoSphere
  • IBM Optim Archive for data retention and application decommissioning
  • ABMartin XDP for unstructured and file-based data, plus synthetic data

1. Assess

Inventory your projects, data sources and masking rules, prioritize them, and size the effort with clear assumptions.

2. Prove

Install Optim and migrate a representative set of projects end to end to prove the approach and measure throughput.

3. Migrate

Convert the remaining backlog in prioritized waves, validating masking and data integrity at every step.

4. Enable

Train your team to run Optim day to day, or to take over the remaining work themselves.
