ERwin's History

In 1989, ERwin was launched as the first low-cost data modeling tool available on the Windows platform. This was revolutionary in a marketplace that was dominated by high-priced, difficult-to-use CASE tools. Because of ERwin’s ease-of-use and affordability, it quickly grew to become a market leader and the most popular data modeling tool among IT professionals worldwide.

Over the years, ERwin has provided quality software release-after-release and became a ‘household’ name among data management professionals. From small and medium-businesses, to Fortune 1000 enterprises, to students at colleges and universities, ERwin is the product to use for data modeling.

Over the years, ERwin has grown to become a central part of the initiatives that run today’s information-driven economy. From application development, to data warehousing, to business intelligence — a data model is a central part of any data architecture.

To enable CA ERwin Data Modeler to become the hub of all of these initiatives, we provide a robust set of tools around our core data modeling solution—from reporting, to collaboration, to metadata management— to ensure that data modeling is able to integrate with other tools and business initiatives. Our expansive list of technology partnerships combined with our open architecture helps ERwin easily integrate with other leading software providers on the market, such as Microsoft, Oracle, Teradata, SAP, and more.

ERwin knows data modeling. Don’t trust your data to anyone else!
