Sybase, Inc. (NYSE:SY), the largest enterprise software and
services company exclusively focused on managing and mobilizing
information, today announced continued momentum for the latest
version of its PowerDesigner� Enterprise Architecture modeling tool
with the addition of new customers from many industries across the
globe. Educational Testing Services (ETS), La Poste mail service of
Belgium and Osthus consulting in Germany have selected the
PowerDesigner enterprise modeling tool to implement an enterprise
architecture that supplies their organizations powerful analysis,
design and metadata management techniques. The new PowerDesigner
solution, introduced in September 2008, supports enterprise
architecture implementation with its Link and Sync technology,
allowing users to align IT systems with business requirements,
respond to competitive changes in a more agile way and achieve
regulatory compliance and standards.
Today�s enterprises are looking for a tool that simplifies
communication between business and IT. PowerDesigner 15 supports
Enterprise Architecture implementation from business goals through
implementation, thus removing the silos, increasing the alignment
and improving business agility in order to respond to changes in
economics, technology, competition and regulations.
"Business strategists, planners and analysts can derive
considerable benefit from an EA tool, because it helps them to
better understand the complex system of IT resources and its
support of the business," writes Greta James, research vice
president of Gartner.
"Our customers are demonstrating the benefits of using
PowerDesigner for implementing Enterprise Architectures because
they can quickly document all their data, systems and applications
and effectively manage change,� said David Dichmann, Sr. Product
Manager at Sybase. "Through our unique Link and Sync technology,
silos are removed, communication is streamlined and business and IT
alignment is a natural, holistic effort. Never underestimate the
value of effective tooling for implementing an Enterprise
Architecture.�

online enrollment component�initially for TOEFL, later for other

thereby opening doors to higher education in the U.S. that benefits
individuals, communities and countries,� said David Kobb, senior
data architect, ETS.

De Post � La Poste is the Belgian organization responsible for
the delivery of national and international mail, providing a range
of postal, courier, direct marketing, banking, insurance and
electronic services in the European market. Using PowerDesigner, De
Post � La Poste has developed an application for its human

data sources. PowerDesigner provides the required level of content
certainty and allows accurate interpretation of the information

systematically imported and stored using PowerDesigner�s extended
model definition and scripting environment," said Marcello Cesaro,
enterprise architect, De Post - La Poste. �PowerDesigner helps

business processes and IT systems of our company.�
