In case you missed it, Embarcadero announced a new Preview Center to watch the latest sneak peek videos of the upcoming release of its popular data modeling tool, ER/Studio Enterprise 8.5.
This latest release is chock full of new features that will make database architects, modelers, and developers more productive than ever. This is the most powerful version yet, combining process, data, application modeling and reporting in a multi-level design environment to facilitate collaboration between multiple roles and functions.
Check out the previews here or at the preview center for additional release information or to be notified when the 8.5 release is available.

For those of you that use or have used ER/Studio at a current job or past job, know that we have a pretty rabid customer base of very loyal beta testers. We absolutely enjoy the feedback and it is vital to the product’s success. Now is your chance to join the fun.
We just launched our ER/Studio 8.5 beta program yesterday, July 9. If you’d like more information about what we’ve added for this release and/or join in on all the fun of downloading and testing out the new functionality. You can click on this link here:
The Portal, a search engine for data that transforms the way metadata, business rules and models are located and accessed in the enterprise, and provides global visibility into corporate data assets and gives ER/Studio Enterprise users an unprecedented understanding of the information in their enterprise and facilitates company-wide collaboration.
An important feature of the Portal are all great technical and business reports that come standard with the tool. Users and administrators can extend the capabilities of the Enterprise Portal with new reports and charts.
Take a few minutes and learn how to create new reports and integrate them into the Enterprise Portal by using the same tools that were used to build the Enterprise Portal itself.
