April 02, 2009Erwin Data Modeler 7.3
With more complex data sources throughout the enterprise and demands to move beyond structured information, modeling tools are moving beyond their roots. For one thing, database developers can now find them in application lifecycle management suites.
Case in point is Erwin from CA Inc., one of the most widely used of the data-modeling tools. The new CA ERwin Data Modeler 7.3 can now be integrated with Visual Studio Team System 2008 and SQL Server 2008, among a number of other key data repositories including Teradata and IBM Corp.’s DB2 for its mainframe-based z/OS v9.
The tight integration between ERwin and SQL Server allows for all SQL Server database objects to be captured in ERwin data models for analysis, says CA partner Antonio Amorin, president of Northbrook, Ill.-based Data Innovations.
The new release of ERwin also boasts new reporting capabilities via a bundled copy of BusinessObjects Crystal Reports, which provides graphical rendering in spreadsheets, PDFs and HTML.
“Our techie geeks love that because they can completely customize any report they want, when a model is published,” says Donna Burbank, a senior principal product marketing manager at CA.
