You can use the comprehensive data modeling capabilities
of InfoSphere® Data Architect
to discover, model, relate, and standardize diverse and distributed
data assets across your enterprise, at all points in the data design
lifecycle.
Use InfoSphere Data
Architect at every step of the data design process:
- Collaborate across all levels
- InfoSphere Data Architect
helps you to work with users at every step of the data design process.
From project management to application design to data design, InfoSphere Data Architect
is a tool that can help you to promote cross-lifecycle, cross-role,
and cross-organization collaboration. You can use the tool to align
processes, services, applications, and data architectures.
- Understand data assets
- Make the data development and design process more efficient and
reduce time-to-market. InfoSphere Data
Architect helps you to visualize your existing data assets. You can
also create diagrams of your current top-down data design process.
These diagrams help yourself and others to understand how objects
are related, catching problematic designs before those designs are
deployed.
- Simplify dimensional and warehouse design
- Use InfoSphere Data
Architect to identify existing dimensional objects, or to create new
dimensional objects:
- Share dimensional models with data warehousing teams
- You can share these dimensional data models with data warehousing
teams that use InfoSphere Warehouse.
These models can help other teams to create data warehouse models
that are consistent with your data design.
- Share dimensional models with business intelligence teams
- InfoSphere Data Architect
can transform an existing model into a model that is compatible with Cognos® Business Intelligence
tools.
- Create IBM® Netezza® data warehouse models
- InfoSphere Data Architect
is currently the only data modeling tool that can help you to work
with existing IBM Netezza data warehouse models, or to create
new models. You can even transform existing IBM Industry Models into IBM Netezza physical
data models.
