Uses and Advantages (Innovator for Information Architects)

Innovator for Information Architects supports modeling, optimizing and implementing data models based on proven Entity Relationship standards ER and SER. Separate modeling concepts with corresponding diagrams, tables and notation options were converted for the conceptual schema and database schema. The models run independently from one another and can be transferred into one another using automated model transitions. The target systems for technical attribute types or required databases can be configured and can be model-specifically used. Model-driven development of database systems is the main field of application in demanding projects with distributed teams.

Uses

Innovator for Information Architects supports modeling, optimizing and implementing of database systems.

Innovator for Information Architects is particularly suitable for:

  • Designing databases; this is because Innovator for Information Architects combines established standards and methods with excellent functions

  • Complex data systems; Innovator for Information Architects can be used with uncoupled models for conceptual schema and database schema and mapping processes which can be configured for a wide range of database systems.

  • Reverse engineering of database schemata; Innovator for Information Architects can adopt this schemata via JDBC or SQL/DDL to a very high level of quality.

  • Increased flexibility and comprehensive data histories, right through to strong parallelization of the data-loading process for your Data Warehouse by implementing the Data Vault 2.0 standard.

  • Communication with specialist departments in the Business Intelligence environment using a simple and easy-to-understand display form - the cube diagram for multi-dimensional data models that illustrate dimensions, hierarchies and their levels on the basis of the cube

  • Description of your complex business data preparation processes in BPMN process models that can be created quickly

  • Challenging projects and cooperations as Innovator is geared towards all processes

Other Innovator products and their methods are integrated using configurable mapping processes and mapping relationships which are linked to these processes or by using M2M SDK (Model-to-Model Software Development Kit).

This way, modeling results can be reused and traced in other models (e.g. from database analysis to an implemented IT system that supports the process in the appropriate software engineering models).

Innovator for Information Architects shapes you up to face challenges:

  • Protects your investments with reusable, platform-independent conceptual models

  • Future assurance through current standards and methods in all areas of database development

  • Increases your productivity through perfect team support and transparent, well-documented functions

  • Offers you comfort and flexibility through state-of-the-art GUIs and configurable templates and interfaces

  • Ensures quality through extensive traceability of requirements and verification options
