Universal Data Models are standard and industry data model templates for ER/Studio that reduce development time and facilitate standardization:

• Reduce development time on new projects
• Facilitate standardization of existing data models
• Easy navigation with full attributes and detailed definitions
• Available for 9 different subject areas and 7 industry-specific add-ons
• Centralized license management and tool deployment with Embarcadero ToolCloud

These data model patterns provide companies with complete data models that reduce development time by jumpstarting brand new projects. They can also be used to facilitate standardization of the many existing data models that have conflicting structures, attributes, and definitions for the same real-world entity such as "customer". The models are attractively laid out for easy navigation and include full attributes and detailed definitions for every attribute.
