WAYLAND, MA – November
3, 2006 –
ObjectRiver, a provider of Master Data Management
solutions to Web-enable enterprise data, today announced
that the latest release of its Master Data Management
solution has been ca smart certified as interoperable
with CA’s AllFusion ERwin Data Modeler r7.
CA’s
AllFusion ERwin Data Modeler is an industry-leading data
modeling solution that streamlines the creation and
maintenance of databases, data warehouses and enterprise
data models. Starting with a business data
model, ObjectRiver Master Data Management generates a
data access layer that enables realtime updates and
reduces database programming complexity. By integrating
with AllFusion ERwin Data Modeler, ObjectRiver’s MDM
also helps customers generate a data dictionary from the
AllFusion ERwin model that provides a documented
interface for building web applications on top of a
defined database.
Enterprises
are spending increasing amounts of their IT budget on
data architecture for master data management projects.
ObjectRiver MDM enables this investment in data
architecture to be leveraged for building Web/SOA based
applications.
“CA’s AllFusion ERwin Data
Modeler is a natural starting point for creating
Web/SOA-based applications because the vocabulary of the
business is actually contained in the data
model,” said Steve
Lemmo, CTO &
Founder of ObjectRiver. “Our relationship
with CA gives IT managers the benefit of advanced
modeling capabilities
to optimize their Operational Data Store.
It also allows Java developers to use standard
interfaces rather than time-consuming low-level SQL
code, giving them more time to focus on business
logic.”
“As they move to support
service-oriented architectures, customers using
AllFusion ERwin Data Modeler to design their
next-generation applications will appreciate the
extended capabilities of ObjectRiver’s MDM to expedite
the design and maintenance of applications that access
essential corporate information,” said
David
Schipper, VP Product
Management at CA. “The ca smart
certification is therefore important to IT organizations
that are looking to reap the business benefits of SOA
while streamlining database development and
operations.”
The
ca smart seal of excellence is awarded to products that
integrate seamlessly with CA products, enabling
customers to take advantage of best-in-class enterprise
technologies while minimizing cost, time-to-benefit and
risk.
