In this episode of Skyward Data, VirtualZ CEO, Jeanne Glass, breaks down one of the most overlooked — yet essential — capabilities in modern data integration: data exclusion. Learn how VirtualZ Computing’s PropelZ™ gives organizations full control over what data moves, what stays behind, and how sensitive fields can be securely excluded or suppressed — all without coding or complex ETL. Jeanne explains how this no-code approach improves data governance, compliance, and performance by filtering and transforming data directly on the mainframe before it ever leaves the source. From real-world examples to best practices in hybrid cloud environments, this episode reveals how smarter data exclusion helps enterprises achieve faster, safer, and more efficient data movement for AI, analytics, and modernization initiatives.
