SAP PowerDesigner is reaching end of life. And your teams are facing a hard deadline: updates are ending, support is disappearing, and staying on an unsupported modeling tool puts model integrity, compliance, and modernization at risk. The real concern is not “learning a new product.” It is whether your logical and physical models, naming standards, domains, and diagrams can come with you.
This exclusive virtual event is built for PowerDesigner practitioners and will show you how to protect the models you already have and move to erwin Data Modeler—without starting over. You will see how erwin maps to the way you already work, what a move preserves, and how teams use the transition to get broader database support, stronger governance, and a supported platform going forward.
Agenda
- What is erwin Data Modeler — core model structure and repository overview
- Cloud & Database Support — 30+ targets including Snowflake, BigQuery, and MongoDB
- Git & DevOps Integration — how model changes flow into CI/CD pipelines
- Governance & Glossary — naming standards, business term linking, and CoE enablement
- Live Demo — erwin Data Modeler in action
What you will learn:
- How erwin structures models — the logical/physical pair, Subject Areas, and the Mart repository
- What modern database support actually looks like — 30+ targets including Snowflake, BigQuery, and MongoDB, with one logical model generating physical schemas for multiple platforms simultaneously
- How Git integration works in practice — model changes become reviewable commits in GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps, connecting data modelers directly to CI/CD pipelines
- Where governance fits into modeling — linking business terms to model objects, enforcing naming standards automatically, and supporting a modeling Center of Excellence
- What erwin looks like in action — a live demo covering model navigation, logical/physical switching, multi-target modeling, and naming standards
Register now to see how to protect your PowerDesigner models and plan a supported move to erwin Data Modeler—before the end-of-life window closes.
