It provides reporting, data quality checks, segment validation, and more. Transforms serves as a "co-pilot" tool equipped with a robust toolbelt for working with client data. Whether cleaning input data, validating its cleanliness, generating data scripts, moving data into and out of your databases, or utilizing AI tools for detailed work, Transforms is here to assist.

Whether targeting a common data exchange format or a database, Transforms simplifies the process. There's no need to be an SQL expert or understand JSON to facilitate data movements within your system, achieving streamlined, easy-to-access, and understandable data transformations.

There is no backend database; all transformations occur in memory, enabling incredibly fast, latency-free operations.

Transforms is developed by the Perigee team, utilizing Perigee architecture under the hood. It is written in 100% C# with memory management, employing every technique available to achieve unrivaled accuracy and unparalleled performance.
