PowerDesigner 12 Modular Packaging
PowerDesigner is available in the following configurations:
DataArchitect ™ – Addresses the needs of the most
discriminating Data Modelers and DBAs. DataArchitect offers
requirements management and full data analysis and comprehensive
multi-level design techniques with round-trip engineering and detailed
design capabilities for nearly 60 RDBMS vendor/versions.
Developer – Addresses
the needs of the Object Modeling community with requirements management
and full analysis and design support for the Unified Modeling Language
(UML). PowerDesigner Developer includes features to improve developer
productivity for Java (and J2EE), C#,VB.NET, XML and PowerBuilder
users. Developer can plug into popular development tools for tight
model-to-code synchronization.
Studio – Addresses
the needs of the Enterprise Modeling community (IT Management and
Business Management) that needs to maintain a single center of control
over all meta-data. Studio offers a model driven approach to align
business and IT. Combining all the technical modeling in DataArchitect
and Developer and extending into Business Modeling, Studio streamlines
communication and collaboration across the enterprise.
Viewer – Addresses
the need for documentation teams, higher-level technical managers or
