NEW WEBINAR – Modeling With Agility and Vitality for Data Governance Programs

August 11, 2009
11:00 AM PDT / 2:00 PM EDT
Register today!

Join Embarcadero in a live one-hour webinar, Modeling With Agility and Vitality for Data Governance Programs, to learn how data management professionals can use data modeling in new, agile ways to support data governance programs.

As the scope of data governance projects evolve, so do the data models that support them. Now more than ever, data models play a critical role in how data is processed, controlled and communicated across business, IT, and data stakeholders. Master Data Management, SOA, data integration, data quality projects and compliance laws only complicate the matter more – the fact is data modeling must evolve to support data governance initiatives.

Learn how to:

• Improve the value of data modeling across the business.
• Bridge the gap between technical and business audiences.
• Enhance data quality through models.
• Define and enforce standards.

ARTS Leverages Embarcadero’s ER/Studio to Build Industry-Standard Data Models and XML Schemas

It is great to see a standard body like the Association for Retail Technology Standards adopt so many of Embarcadero’s database software tools within their organization. The standards division of the National Retail Federation will use the ER/Studio, DBArtisan and Change Manager to develop new data models, XML standards, and contribute to the development of retail technology standards.

According to Richard Mader, executive director of ARTS, “Through our agreement with Embarcadero, we will now have the optimum tools to develop new data models and XML standards as well as enhance what we already have in place,” said Mader. “We’ve heard loud and clear from our volunteer committee that they could benefit from tools that allow for multiple concurrent users and that generate formats which are compatible with other modeling tools. Now we’re able to answer that call.”
