Sybase PowerDesigner 12.5, a model-driven approach to aligning business and IT, is an enterprise modeling and design solution that helps you implement effective enterprise architecture and brings powerful analysis and design techniques to your development lifecycle. PowerDesigner uniquely combines several standard data modeling techniques (UML, Business Process Modeling and market-leading data modeling) together with leading development platforms such as .NET, WorkSpace, PowerBuilder, Java, Eclipse, etc., to bring business analysis and formal database design solutions to the traditional software development lifecycle. And it works with over 60 RDBMS.

PowerDesigner 12.5 Features:

• Requirements Management: Detailed requirements analysis linked to all models for traceability. Import and synchronization with Microsoft Word places the business users directly into the analysis and design lifecycle.
• Document Generation: Wizard driven list, multi-model RTF and fully hyperlinked HTML document reporting provides any non-modeling user direct, controlled access to metadata. This fosters greater communication among all members of the project team.
• Impact Analysis: Models are fully integrated using unique Link and Synch technologies. Models integrate across all model types for complete enterprise-wide or project-wide impact analysis. From requirements to business processes to UML and the data that supports it, impact analysis streamlines communication and collaboration to dramatically increase the entire organization’s responsiveness to change.
• Information Mapping: Drag-and-drop mapping editor allows for easy, fast and accurate dependency documentation. Simply drag to or from any supported source to target model pair and create comprehensive mapping definitions used in impact analysis, persistence code generation and warehouse ETL documentation.
• Open Support: All major platforms are supported together in one tool, including over 60 RDBMS as well as all leading development and process execution languages.
• Customizable: Optimize productivity by controlling everything from the user interface to the way PowerDesigner manages modeling tasks and generates code. Model-driven development is achieved through advanced support for UML profiles, automatic transformations and customizable code generation based on patterns, templates and scripts.
• Integrated: Plug into Eclipse, Microsoft Visual Studio and PowerBuilder for seamless integration to leading develop-ment environments and synchronize models and code automatically. Plug-in supports all modeling techniques and requirements management. Requirements integrate with Microsoft Team System.
• Enterprise Repository: A fully integrated design-time repository, hosted by your choice of relational database. As a highly scalable, WAN friendly centralized metadata management facility, the Enterprise Repository offers capabilities like: Role-based security on models and sub-models, version control configuration management, difference reports between models and versions, and comprehensive search capabilities. The repository may also store and manage any documents important to your projects.
