Sybase SA, the sole African representative of Sybase, a leading provider of enterprise infrastructure and mobile software, today announced the availability of Sybase PowerDesigner 12.5, an all-in-one modelling and design solution for enterprises that need to build or re-engineer business applications quickly, cost-effectively and consistently.
Sybase PowerDesigner supports more than 60 databases and leading development environments, including Sybase Workspace, Sybase PowerBuilder, Java, the Eclipse open source development environment, and Microsoft Visual Studio.
"Sybase PowerDesigner combines business process modelling with unified modelling language (UML) and data modelling, to make possible open, cross-platform information architectures that securely deliver information anytime, anywhere," says Sybase SA's General Manager, Johan Reynders.
"This newest release of Sybase PowerDesigner adds the ability to include metadata from Extract Transform and Load (ETL) and data federation (EII) tools with database models, ensuring more complete impact analysis of changes to the information architecture, as well as better documentation support," he explains.
"Sybase PowerDesigner 12.5 also includes complete UML 2.0 support and makes migrating from Computer Associates (CA) ERwin data modelling solution even easier, by supporting the latest releases of the CA product.
"There is an increased necessity in the enterprise for managing metadata through modelling to ensure adaptability, reduce redundancy, and achieve initiatives such as Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and service-oriented architecture (SOA)," says Raj Nathan, chief marketing officer of Sybase.
"With this release of PowerDesigner, we continue to extend our leadership position in the data modelling market, by providing a robust enterprise modelling tool that manages business, technical, and information metadata."
