The world's first commercial sort package off the mainframe continues to deliver maximum price-performance and functional versatility for manipulating huge files, tables, and other data sources.
IRI CoSort® is not only the world's #1 sort/merge utility, it is also a proven, user-friendly, one-stop "super tool" supported in Eclipse for easily performing, and accelerating.
Use CoSort and its powerful 4GL program and Eclipse GUI for:
- legacy sort replacement and data migration projects
- fast data warehouse ETL and ODS operations
- very large database (VLDB) load and query acceleration
- BI tool performance optimization; data governance
- application performance improvement
Use CoSort to augment - or replace - existing ETL / sort / BI tools, 3GL and SQL programs, or batch and shell (Perl, Python, etc.) scripts.
Feature & Benefit

Single-pass sort, join, aggregate, report, and protect |
Task, I/O, script, and vendor consolidation |
Single-pass, single-script ETL for flat files, ODBC and bulk-loaded DBs |
The data integration market's simplest, most price-performant ETL solution for big data warehouses |
One easy 4GL for data definition, manipulation, and BI |
No/low learning curve, self-documenting metadata for report generation, too. |

IRI CoSort Use Cases
Task Consolidation | Unlimited Mapping | Database Acceleration |
"CoSort runs our data filtering, sorting, merging, aggregating, and reformatting tasks together, and manages them all in one script we can easily understand and tweak." | "CoSort moves data between massive file sources and targets efficiently. We can pre-sort to speed loads and create hand-off files for BI at the same time." | We use CoSort for change data capture and offline reorgs -- improving performance 80%. It removes our data volume ceiling and speeds up queries." |
