CA ERwin Data Modeler for SQL Azure enables integration and management in Microsoft’s cloud environment. There, the data modeler provides visualizations, data structure management and business definitions for on-premise and cloud databases in a single area. A second new release is CA ERwin Web Portal, an interface for data architects to build and analyze data model so that other business and IT users also have access. CA has also updated its ERwin Data Modeler r8.2, featuring more granular use of model objects like tables and domains, support re-use and object sharing, and availability of concurrent licensing agreements.
John L. Myers, senior analyst for BI at Enterprise Management Associates, says that the moves in conjunction with Microsoft’s Azure platform reflect the top cloud implementation selection reported by enterprises in a recent survey by his firm. By adding visualization and access capabilities to this database management process through the Web Portal and Data Modeler, CA ERwin has made moves to break down enterprise barriers toward true governance and data collaboration, says Myers.
