New Version Enables Enterprises to Easily Visualize, Analyze and
Manipulate Data, Process and Application Metadata DUBLIN, Calif.,
Jan. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sybase, Inc. (NYSE:SY), a leading
provider of enterprise infrastructure and mobile software, today
unveiled Sybase(R) PowerDesigner(R) 12.0, an all-in-one modeling
and design solution for enterprises that need to build or
re-engineer business applications quickly, cost-effectively and
consistently. Gartner Dataquest has recognized Sybase PowerDesigner
as the worldwide market share leader in application development
database design software for 2004 based on new license revenue,
reaching 33.7 percent of market share.(1) With this new release,
PowerDesigner enables enterprises to more easily visualize, analyze
and manipulate data, process and application metadata via features
such as unique metadata mapping and integration technologies for
enterprise architecture frameworks, unmatched customization for
enforced compliance to company or regulatory standards, and a more
powerful report generator. "Historically, modeling tools for data
architects, developers and business analysts were purchased
separately, with little concern about integration or sharing.
However, organizations are increasingly demanding more-integrated
suite solutions that enable everyone involved in modeling different
aspects of the enterprise architecture to work in a shared
environment -- and the vendors are responding." Gartner, Inc.,
"Trends in Modeling and Metadata Management, 2006", Michael J.
Blechar, December 2005. "Thanks to our integrated capabilities,
Sybase PowerDesigner users are able to connect all the metadata and
optimize Business and IT alignment. As applications evolve into
more complex application platforms, this design and analysis
capability is becoming a critical requirement," said Dimitri
Volkmann, worldwide product line director, Sybase Information
Technology Solutions Group. "As an enterprise modeling tool,
PowerDesigner allows business and IT professionals to map out the
dependencies between the business and IT development, enabling
quicker, more predictable and more accurate responses to business
changes." When Nielsen Media Research, a leading provider of
television audience measurement and related services, began using
PowerDesigner, they were able to produce reports of current
business in minutes in what used to take days with greater accuracy
and integrity compared to the typical "interview and develop"
approach. "The Enterprise Business Architecture at Nielsen is based
on the Zachman Framework. PowerDesigner's unique metadata
management capabilities made it possible for us to implement a
meta-model that supports each cell of the framework and to
integrate the actual models across the framework's rows and
columns," said Michael Pemberton, manager, Business Architecture
Core IT at Nielsen Media Research. "Thanks to PowerDesigner 12.0's
flexible and adaptive architecture, we have had the most useful and
successful implementation of the framework to date." New Features
