This is a software for both database design and data architecture. This has been working across the multiple platforms of databases and is being used by the data modelers, business analysts, data architects, and database administrators for creating and managing database designs and also documenting and reusing the data assets.

The software is also offering many technical solid advantages. And also, is offering the business reasons of why it is said to be the better choice for the companies that have some problems upon selecting one application to be used in data modeling. And so this article is written for the purpose of providing and highlighting some important reasons and some considerations on choosing an ER studio then the ERwin.

Increased productivity. This can increase the productivity of the users through the superior navigation on the models in an enterprise scale. The time and the effort being spent for the management of a diagrams feel and look and also for manual layouts of diagram artifacts are both minimized. And thus, resources can focus mainly on problems for application design and complex business.

Better reliability. Reliability for large enterprises and modeling requirements are met because ease of use and also frequent updates on products are provided and focused. By the used of ERwin, many people have become frustrated because of the bugs, resulting to the lost of their valuable time and resources. Whereas by using this other software, large models can still be handled without crashing.

Greater automation in time saving. It offers automation interface for the automation of modeling tasks and for customization of software. For this reason, modeling practices are enforced to an organization. The ease of use. Producing diagrams that are readable is one of the most common challenges for modelers. For this problem, effective options have been provided.

Enhanced consistency. Modelers and architects are the ones who usually manage the metadata and they would spend their time mostly on the reduction of redundancy, standardization, creation of reusable components, and documentation. Through this, there will be an increased developer productivity and a reduced amount for instances. Users may also create domains and types that are reusable to streamline both definition and enforcement of domain property consistency for models.

Improving teams effectiveness. The repository is being provided for working, similar to what the modeling will need to do, for delivering applications in higher qualities, efficient, and cost effective. Superior traceability of the elements. The dictionary systems are offered as well and this will allow the creation and access of the reusable components which would include elements, rules, valid values, etc.

Responsive technical support. The support have their main focus on helping companies so they can test, build, and optimize critical database, data, and application infrastructures. They have also clear advantages, meaning, they can provide support to customers in an organized manner. Thus, addressing the customers issues in just the same day.

Flexibility of licensing options. There are many licensing options which are being provided to fit the modeling needs of a company. ERwin only offers a workstation licensing. Whereas this software offers network named user, workstation, and network concurrent licensing options.
