CA ERwin Data Modeling Suite Now Includes CA ERwin Data Profiler and Crystal Reports
January 26, 2009Not many business intelligence (BI) companies can say that they’ve been in business for 20 years. So how is CA celebrating this milestone? By releasing a new version of its CA ERwin Data Modeling Suite, of course. "We said, well yeah that's pretty neat; we know data modeling," says Donna Burbank, senior principal marketing manager for CA ERwin Data Modeling Suite. "We want to show that we’re the experts, [that] we've been around for a while. But with this release we also want to show that we continue to innovate, so we're doing new stuff; we're not old and stale." Some of the new "stuff" CA is offering in this version of CA ERwin Data Modeling Suite include a new tool, CA ERwin Data Profiler 3.2, a free version of CA ERwin Data Modeler, and the latest version of CA ERwin Data Modeler.
CA ERwin Data Profiler provides Exeros data profiling technology, which helps you understand data in your systems and ensure you have one version of the truth in your databases. Burbank says "Basically what we hear loud and clear from our user community is … now our jobs as data architects and DBAs are a lot more complicated. There's things like business intelligence and master data management and MDM hubs, and I'm being asked to consolidate six customer data sources and create a single version of the truth for customers … So you have to make ERwin that we’re used to using, that's our regular hammer to do our job, help us integrate. So that's a big focus of the release."
CA ERwin Data Modeler 7.3 offers new out-of-the-box reporting capabilities, including out-of-the-box reports, because it’s now integrated with SAP BusinessObject’s Crystal Reports. "Basically, we're telling customers if you have reporting, why learn another reporting tool for Erwin, and why should we write a reporting tool, because there are plenty of good ones out there. So we've actually partnered with BusinessObjects and are offering Crystal Reports," says Burbank.
