Denver, CO (PRWEB) April 28, 2008 - Jason Tiret, Senior Product Manager for ER/Studio, Embarcadero Technologies Inc., recently participated in an exclusive interview with Ron Powell and the Business Intelligence Network (www.BeyeNETWORK.com) announcing Embarcadero's, a database tools company, recent partnership with best-selling author Len Silverston to resell his Universal Data Model templates in ER/Studio format. In this interview, Tiret explains how Embarcadero has packaged Universal Data Models into smaller offerings - subject-area models, a corporate data model, and industry-specific data models - enabling modelers to significantly reduce development and maintenance time.

"In the past the six/seven-figure price of templates or industry models has typically put them out of reach for many companies. What we want to do with the Universal Data Models is compartmentalize and commoditize the models so that our entire customer base can take advantage of them. They are an excellent way for organizations to jumpstart any project related to enterprise modeling, master data management, SOA, database re-architecture, and anything else surrounding their data," says Tiret. "We have found that reusable data models are the most effective way for database professionals to achieve maximum productivity and quality assurance while reducing risk. The universal data models can also serve as an independent, common standard for organizations grappling to agree on one."

"Data models are at the heart of everything that is done in data warehousing and business intelligence," says Ron Powell, Cofounder and Editorial Director of the Business Intelligence Network. "By making Len Silverston's Universal Data Models available for ER/Studio, Embarcadero has taken enterprise data modeling to the next level."
