Latest CA ERwin release builds foundation for strong data governance

New solution edition, enhanced reporting and performance gains bring clarity to big data and BI initiatives.


Johannesburg, 30 Mar 2015

CA Southern Africa has announced a new release of CA Technologies' acclaimed CA ERwin data modelling solution that helps organisations promote strong data governance and derive maximum value from their big data and business intelligence initiatives.

Today's resource-constrained organisations struggle to manage information architectures encompassing multiple data sources and platforms, placing a renewed premium on effective data governance.

Comprehensive data management across the enterprise

By providing a centralised, intuitive view of key data definitions from both traditional and big data sources, CA ERwin modelling r9.6 helps companies leverage information as a strategic asset and more efficiently manage all data resources to save time and money.

Highlights of the new CA ERwin r9.6 release include a redesigned interface, simplified reporting, performance improvements, new platform support, and ease-of-use enhancements.

"Customers will find the addition of mart reporting in ERwin r9.6 alone a compelling reason to upgrade," says Javed Matin, CEO, Myriad Solutions - a platinum CA Technologies partner.

"Whether it's traditional SQL schema or the Hadoop Hive infrastructure commonly employed by today's big data initiatives, CA ERwin delivers on the widest range of data modelling needs."

Brand new portal solution simplifies data governance

A redesigned, mobile-friendly CA ERwin Web Portal adds new collaboration capabilities, providing an easy way for both business and technical users across the organisation to visualise business-critical metadata. In addition, the brand new CA ERwin Web Portal Data Governance edition supports data governance and standardisation efforts across the enterprise using a simple role-based workflow. It enables users to easily build models that meet predefined standards and rules, promoting data consistency and quality across the business.

"Having the right data governance strategy has become critically important, given the proliferation of data in today's business environment," says Robert Lutton, vice-president, Sandhill Consultants - a CA Technologies' preferred channel partner.

"We are excited about how CA ERwin is effectively addressing this crucial need and further extending its long-standing leadership in the data modelling space."

CA ERwin r9.6 also adds database certification for Sybase ASE 15.2 and 16, as well as Teradata v15, a leading database software application for data warehouses and analytic applications, including big data.

Unveiled today at ERworld 2015 virtual conference

CA ERwin r9.6 is available now and being showcased at ERworld 2015, the company's free virtual conference for data modelling professionals. In its fifth year, ERworld features tracks, sessions and networking opportunities that will help participants effectively use data modelling as a key component of their business-critical data management, governance and big data initiatives.

"We are extremely excited to unveil CA ERwin r9.6 at ERworld this week, and to show our customers and partners around the globe how this solution will help them thrive in an evolving, data-centric world," says CA Southern Africa sales manager, Carol Ann Searra. "This latest release reflects significant innovation and reinforces CA ERwin's long-standing position as the world's leading data modelling solution."
