How CA ERwin Data Modeler and Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition Work Together

CA ERwin Data Modeler (CA ERwin DM) simplifies the design, generation, and maintenance of high-quality, high-performance databases, data warehouses, and enterprise data resource models. It also enables developers and IT architects to more readily visualize the optimal structure and design of their databases and other applications based on their organization's information requirements and business rules.

• Use existing CA ERwin DM database designs to jump-start the creation of managed objects in VSTS Database Edition.
