Round-trip database support gives ER/Studio Data Architect users the power to easily reverse-engineer, compare and merge, and visually document data assets residing in diverse locations from data centers to mobile platforms. You’ll leverage Enterprise data as corporate asset more effectively and can be rest assured that compliance is supported for business standards and mandatory regulations—essential factors in an organizational data governance program. Automate and scale your data modeling “We had to use a tool like Visio and do everything by hand before. We’re talking about thousands of tables with subsequent relationships. Now ER/Studio automates the most time consuming tasks.” - Jason Soroko, Business Architect at Entrust Uncover your database inconsistencies “Embarcadero tools detected inconsistencies we didn’t even know existed in our systems, saving us from problems down the road.” - U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray The Challenge of Fully Leveraging Enterprise Data This all-too-common scenario forces non-compliance with business standards and mandatory regulations, As organizations grow and data proliferates, ad hoc systems for while preventing business executives from the benefit of storing, analyzing, and utilizing that data start to appear and incorporating all essential data in to their decision-making are generally located near to the business unit that needs it. This process. Data management professionals face three distinct practice results in disparately located databases storing different challenges: versions and formats of the same data and an enterprise that will suffer from multiple views and instances of a single data • Reduce duplication and risk associated with multiple data capture and storage environments point. Duplicated data infrastructures, multiple storage systems, • Maximize data quality and re-usability across the full-time management efforts, and data correction tasks add an organization average of 200 percent to a company’s data management costs. • Clearly and effectively communicating data to all users. The re-use of essential data throughout an organization can speed better decision-making, but only if that data has been optimized, accurately interpreted, and made available to all users at the right time. All organizations must evolve in order to thrive. And you will do objectives. Powerful reverse engineering of industry-leading just that when you thoroughly leverage enterprise data as an database systems allow a data modeler to compare and asset, while complying with business standards and mandatory consolidate common data structures without creating regulations. unnecessary duplication. Using industry standard notations, data modelers can create an information hub by importing, ER/Studio Data Architect documents and enhances existing analyzing, and repurposing metadata from data sources such databases, improves data consistency and effectively as business intelligence applications, ETL environments, XML communicates models across the enterprise. documents, and other modeling solutions. ER/Studio Data Architect helps data architects define and reuse common ER/Studio Data Architect provides an easy-to-use visual data elements and modeling components across projects to interface to document, understand, and publish establish standards in their modeling practices. The multilevel information about better harnessed to support business design layers allow projects to establish standards in their ER Studio XE4 Data Architect for the accurate visualization of data, which promotes Highly Productive Model-driven Design Environment communication between business and technical users. Automatically create highly readable, highly Advanced Graphics and Layout navigable diagrams with one or a combination of layouts Streamlined navigational aids, diagram layout utilities, Streamlines the derivation of one or more Automated and Custom physical designs from a logical one and checks and powerful report publishing functions simplify the Transformation for normalization and compliance with the target communication of designs within and beyond the data database Automate tedious, routine tasks such as coloring modeling group. This brings all metadata into a central tables, enforcing and applying naming standards, Extensible Automation Interface repository helps the transfer of knowledge among globally update storage parameters and integrate with desktop applications stakeholders, and allows users to easily see relationships and Publish models and reports in a variety of formats business rules that relate to their data.
