The transition to the Parallax portfolio brings onboard former CA ERwin sales veteran Adam Famularo as CEO of ERwin. “Acquired by a company that understands the value of data to the business, a company that wants to be that universal provider to manage data for the business and make that data trusted by the business.” A couple of years ago, he recalls, it looked like ERwin would be swallowed up by its competitor Embarcadero. The Parallax acquisition changes the game in a big way for ERwin, says Danny Sandwell, product marketing manager, ERwin Modeling.
This period also saw ERwin’s technology named “ Best Data Modeling Solution” in the Database Trends and Applications (DBTA) magazine Readers’ Choice Awards for the second straight year, and the designation of ERwin Data Modeler as one of DBTA’s Trend-Setting Products for 2016.įor all its achievements, though, the ERwin team was running very lean within CA, as its focus on the technology of Data Management wasn’t strongly aligned with other solutions in CA’s diverse portfolio, which run the gamut from DevOps to security to systems management. In fact, the end of the planned Embarcadero acquisition was a strong factor in ERwin accelerating work on its Data Governance efforts. Also part of this picture is the ERwin Web Portal Data Governance edition, which added features such as business glossary capabilities to govern, standardize, and reuse an existing business vocabulary across a data/information architecture and annotation for non-ERwin modeling sources.
Among its features and enhancements were a new native Report Designer, high-performance Mart Server, Big Data Hadoop connectivity, the ability to efficiently work with larger models, and multi-thread performance improvements. Since then, the market has gone through further transitions, with IDERA’s acquisition of Embarcadero last fall being a particularly notable one.ĭuring that timeframe, the ERwin team inside CA continued to drive the product forward, including the release of ERwin r9.6 last March. The recently completed acquisition of Data Modeling industry leader ERwin from CA Technologies by private equity firm Parallax Capital Partners comes a couple of years after the Department of Justice effectively ended plans by Embarcadero Technologies to do the same.
