Embarcadero Expands Flexibility for Data Modelers with ER/Studio Enterprise 8.5

Embarcadero Technologies, a provider of multi-platform database tools and developer software, has announced the general availability of Embarcadero’s flagship data modeling suite, ER/Studio Enterprise 8.5. This newest version of Embarcadero’s data modeling tool combines process modeling, data modeling, application modeling and reporting into a comprehensive design and modeling solution.

Key themes of the new release are tighter integration of components within the suite, support for better collaboration and communication between modelers as well as non-modelers, and overall enhanced productivity.

A big part of enhancements within the new release are to enable data architects to better communicate with their communities and their organizations, Jason Tiret, director of product management for modeling and design solutions, Embarcadero, tells 5 Minute Briefing. Supporting this effort, Tiret notes, are new UML modeling features for business and software modeling, as well as integration of ER/Studio Business Architect with the ER/Studio Repository and ER/Studio Portal to allow data modelers to better communicate with the business.

The new release includes new workflow communication facilities with Web 2.0 technologies like bi-directional commenting between ER/Studio Data Architect and ER/Studio Portal to assist and streamline communication and model review with non-modelers. As a result, there is now the ability to comment on objects in the model with workflow-status kinds of comments to help modelers better collaborate better together and so they don’t have to clutter up the metadata in the models, explains Tiret. "They can now have a specific place that they can put comments that are geared toward workflow and review in the product and that will actually feed out to the ER/Studio Portal and allow non-modelers to view those comments and to add comments. It is not only to streamlining communication, and the workflow and peer review process among modelers but it also going to help those modelers communicate with non-modelers like DBAs, developers, business analysts and business users that need access to the metadata and want to actively help with the modeling process."

ER/Studio Enterprise 8.5 also includes updated DBMS features for the latest editions of Oracle, SQL Server, DB2 LUW, InterBase and Teradata

Top Five Reasons to Switch from ERwin Data Modeler to Embarcadero ER/Studio

With full availability of ER/Studio® 8.5 only a few weeks away, Embarcadero Technologies is focused on educating data modelers about the benefits of ER/Studio versus ERwin® Data Modeler. Today, Embarcadero issued the top five reasons to make the switch.

• Superior Productivity Using a Model File System – ER/Studio allows users to create multiple, mutually independent physical models from one common logical model within the same .dm1 file; ERwin requires multiple files to achieve the same effect thus losing the traceability between the logical and physical artifacts. ER/Studio’s separate but integrated approach offers the user a complete, easy to understand solution for synchronizing and updating logical models, physical models and live databases without having to manage and synchronize many loose files.
• Superior Traceability With Lineage and Metadata Impact Analysis - ER/Studio provides features for maintaining the traceability between the original logical model and multiple physical models.  Coupled with ER/Studio’s ability to maintain multiple models within the same file, impact analysis is far easier and more reliable than with ERwin.  In addition to reports, ER/Studio also provides a “Where Used” feature which includes even more capabilities.
• Superior Productivity Through Diagram Layout & Navigation Features – ER/Studio is designed to dramatically increase user productivity through superior navigation of large, complex data models. This saves time when searching for deeply buried elements in a model.  ER/Studio provides a number of features to assist with the management of large models.
• Superior Documentation and Communication – ER/Studio Enterprise includes a web portal that allows for near real-time publication of the information contained in the ER/Studio repository.  The portal allows developers, DBAs and business analysts to browse, search and report on the model metadata via a web browser.  It drastically streamlines the process of communicating the models by offering a “self-service” method for publishing the information.  Data architects no longer need to refresh reports any time a model changes.  The portal has a separate reporting repository that is optimized for searching and reporting that is kept in sync with the ER/Studio repository.
• Superior Reliability & Advancement – Embarcadero’s focus has always been centered on helping companies design, build, optimize and run their critical software applications and databases. Unlike CA, Embarcadero doesn’t have the vast array of over 1,300 products to support and maintain. We have a clear competitive advantage on deciding which products to support and build out.  With a dedicated support center and committed staff to help, we are able to resolve  issues quickly and efficiently without the hassle of dealing with an outsourced  support solution like ERwin that often can be long and drawn out.

ER/Studio continues to be the fastest growing database design and modeling tool on the market, not only for Embarcadero’s reliable support staff, but also for the reliability of the product performance and frequency of enhancements. Embarcadero has a strong investment in research and development behind ER/Studio, releasing multiple product enhancements each year to meet the demanding modeling requirements and reliability standards of large enterprises now and in the future. Our customers frequently tell us valuable time and resources are lost to basic functionality and bugs found in ERwin. Reliability and advancement are no longer optional in organizations that depend on database design and modeling for speed, competitiveness and uptime.
