CA Technologies has announced today announced a new release of CA Erwin. CA ERwin Data Modeler, the solution for collaboratively visualising and managing business data across the enterprise in support of data governance, Big Data analytics, business intelligence and other initiatives.
Organisations face “information overload” as they struggle to manage more data across more platforms, and share that data with a growing number of users in a wider range of roles and skillsets. Data professionals look for better integration between diverse data sources, and to facilitate better communication between IT and the business.
With CA ERwin r9.5, data modeling effectively serves as a hub at the center of key data management initiatives. The new release includes support for Big Data technologies such as Apache Hadoop Hive, Cloudera and Google BigQuery, driving integration and a centralised view of both the traditional and newer data sources now impacting business decision-making.
In addition, a new report designer in CA ERwin facilitates better visualisation and sharing of information across the enterprise and among a broad range of both business and technical users.
The new release is also certified on the latest versions of Teradata, a leading database software application for data warehouses and analytic applications, including Big Data. Teradata Corporation, a CA Technologies partner, offers a number of industry models based in CA ERwin.
“The rise of Big Data has driven discussion around the ‘three Vs’ of data – volume, velocity and variety – but the value and veracity of data is also critically important,” said James Forbes-May, vice president, Data Management, Asia Pacific, CA Technologies. “This latest release of CA ERwin facilitates that higher level of data analysis discussion and collaboration, providing a single, consistent view of information from all relevant sources – even as the data landscape continues to expand.”
