ER/Studio - MetaWizard

MetaWizard is an application that allows ER/Studio to integrate with more than seventy other applications by sharing meta-data through an import-export capability. Integrate metadata across modeling tools, business intelligence, ETL platforms and industry-standard exchange formats such as XMI, XML and XSD.

Convert Existing Models

You won't lose the investment you've made in your existing data models when switching over to ER/Studio. MetaWizard Import Bridge makes it easy to convert data models from all the major modeling tools such as CA AllFusion Erwin, IBM Rational Data Architect, Oracle Designer, and Sybase PowerDesigner. Import from their native file formats from within ER/Studio.

Share Models With Other Groups

Whether you work in a large organization or small, you will likely find the need to share your ER/Studio models with those who use other tools. Perhaps with an application developer who uses a UML tool or someone in another organization who uses a different data modeling tool. The MetaWizard Export Bridge makes this possible, while maintaining consistency with the models and underlying metadata.

Integrate Metadata With Other Platforms

Metadata is the data about your data. It should be consistent across the organization whether the data resides in a database, Excel spreadsheet, Business Intelligence (BI) application, an ETL tool, or an XML structure. MetaWizard makes it easy to share metadata across all these platforms and ensures you don't duplicate work in these areas.

Customer Quotes

"With the onslaught of compliance regulations and the heightened need to understand and document data sources, the task of effectively tracing data lineages has never been more important. With its new Visual Data Lineage functionality, ER/Studio 8.0 simplifies the way we trace data movement among databases and flat files, which ultimately helps us better understand the data assets within our government customers' organizations. This benefits us across numerous domains - facilitating data consolidation, SOA migration, FISMA compliance, and DIACAP needs."
