Sybase PowerDesigner 16 Beta 1 | 497 MB
PowerDesigner - a leading tool in modeling and metadata management tool for creating data models, information architecture and enterprise architecture. PowerDesigner gives the company a force analysis of the linkages (technology impact analysis), the ability to manage changes during the design and technology for metadata management

Benefits
* Increased productivity through collaborative business and IT
* Open support various heterogeneous environments
* Flexible settings to support different standards and set up communication with the external environment.
* Promotes the creation of an enterprise architecture model due to the possibility of documenting
* Improves business agility through the availability of technologies Link & Sync and analysis of the relationship (impact analysis)
Key features of PowerDesigner
PowerDesigner supports the following modeling techniques
* Data Modeling: Conceptual, logical and physical data models, and an extension to design a data warehouse based on the IE (Information Engineering) methodology or notation IDEF 1 / x.
* Modeling applications: All UML diagrams and managing the implementation of persistent objects through enhanced ability to describe the OR-mapping (Object / Relational mapping). Modeling techniques with the use of XML and the relationship of such models with UML and data models.
* Business Process Modeling: Diagrams describing business processes, intuitive, non-technical users, the simulation language performance of business processes with support for BPEL4WS notations and ebXML.
* Modeling of Enterprise Architecture: Enterprise Architecture Modeling - from business objectives to implementation, using unique technology, Connectivity and synchronization (Link and Synch). This gets rid of extra information and ensure transparency in the description, which increases business competitiveness by increasing the speed of response to changes in the economy, technology and legislation.

PowerDesigner models are fully integrated: using unique technology to connect and sync (Link and Synch), PowerDesigner integrates metadata among all types of models.

Each user has its own modeling technique. Those who have been working on modeling and analysis of data, as well as architects and developers can focus on metadata management with a focus on technology. IT-managers and non-technical personnel will be useful for engineering-oriented business modeling. At the same time all integrated in a common and easy to use environment.

Repository PowerDesigner - a complete repository of information detailed in the chosen database. Repository is scalable and has a friendly interface for users working remotely. Provides the following: role-based access to the models and submodels, version control, configuration management, integration models, reports on the changes between models and versions, full-text search across the repository.

Open support for all major platforms: more than 60 databases, the leading platform for developing applications such as Java J2EE, Microsoft. NET, Web Services and PowerBuilder, and process execution languages ​​such as ebXML and BPEL4WS.

Customizable: PowerDesigner offers a full scripting support MDA, profiles, UML, automation of routine tasks by supporting scripting languages ​​and fully customizable generation of DDL and code through the use of templates and the presence of a code generator that supports scripting.
