IDERA ER/Studio Enterprise Edition
Data Modeling Tools for Enterprise-Scale Data Architecture
Database Modeling Tools for
Enterprise Data Modeling and Governance
Drive Innovation and Collaboration with Enterprise Data Modeling Software
Data modelers and architects are tasked with the mission-critical task of taking requirements for data assets and translating those into implementable designs. This has to be with control and within a data governance framework. Whether you are creating a new model from a conceptual model or modifying an existing asset by making changes to reverse-engineered model, user-friendly data architecture and design tools make the following data modeling use cases quicker, easier, more accurate, and more collaborative:
- Performing change management and impact analyses of new policies or projected changes to data models, databases, or data fields.
- Ensuring consistency between data models and database design while coordinating changes across development and BI teams and enabling a collaborative data modeling approach.
- Laying the foundation for robust data governance, data governance frameworks, and data management.
- Building a company-wide Business Glossary to define and catalog data assets and data structures.

Document business processes
in an easy-to-read diagram
with BPMN 2.0 conventions
ER/Studio Business Architect enables business architects and analysts to easily model the relationships between people, processes, and data with the BPMN 2.0 standard. Use process models to define business operations, including key activities, tasks, and decision points. Use conceptual models to define key subject areas that need to be documented for implementing the business process.
Securely store yourdata models and manage versions in the Repository
The ER/Studio Repository provides a secure and scalable environment for model and object version management. Token-based check-in and check-out ensures that users in virtualized environments have easy access to stored models. The integrated Security Center allows you to manage Groups, Users, and Roles, and assign permissions to Repository projects, diagrams, and diagram objects.
Create business glossaries
with detailed terms and definitions
The ER/Studio Team Server glossaries contain detailed information for business terms and definitions for the entire organization. Business terms are associated with relevant data objects to give business meaning to the technical information. Audit trails are automatically generated for changes made to the business glossaries or their terms, providing details for compliance and governance reports.
Manage model changes and
associate them with JIRA projects
Change management projects can be created, viewed, and edited in ER/Studio Team Server and also associated with existing Atlassian JIRA projects for increased visibility. Track the status and progress of tasks and update the details for individual tasks to ensure data models stay aligned with database and application development efforts using a sprint-based workflow.
