Data Modeling Solution from CA Provides Improved Visualization
DBTA - Database Trends and Applications · February 15, 2011CA Erwin Data Modeler r8, a solution for collaboratively visualizing and managing data across multiple systems, was announced by CA Technologies. Enhanced visualization and different ways to visualize data models in non-traditional formats is a main theme of the release, Donna Burbank, senior director of marketing, Data Management, CA Technologies, tells 5 Minute Briefing. The goal is to help ERwin, an established product with a 20-plus-year track record, to reach new audiences, in particular, business and non-technical users, as well as provide improved workflow for traditional CA Erwin Data Modeler users.
"We completely ripped out our old user interface and put in a new one," says Burbank. With features like graphics, themes, fonts, and auto layout, she observes, "It is really more like a drawing tool on the front with the power of a data modeling tool behind it."
The new release also provides improved workflow for the traditional ERwin user, she notes. "Most of our customers have thousands of data objects," Burbank says, and managing them on the screen in a single interface can be a challenge. To address this pain point, the new release provides different ways to "visualize massive volumes of data in the screen.
