Design Data Faster

Data Excelerator does more. It has the functionality of the most popular Data Modeling tools, as well as features that other vendors charge extra for: e.g. Reporting and Data Dictionary output. It also includes features needed for other aspects of Business Modeling such as Data Flow Diagrams (DFD) and Business Process Flow Diagrams (Swim Lane).

It costs less (currently free); so more people on the team can have a copy. When everyone has the tools they need, then they will acknowledge that the design process is a priority, even for programmers.

A back-end independent tool means that design can be done without locking in to a final decision before considering the business requirements. Many databases come with a "free" data Modeling tool which is designed to keep you there.

Data Excelerator has features like

• A "Project" container for many diagrams and their versions.
• Version control and generating change DDL based on differences between versions.
• Open data storage format that can be put into github and compared. (XML)
• Multiple simultaneous back-end DDL generation from the same model
  • MS SQL Server, MySql, Oracle, Postgress, Mongo, DataJet
• Diagrams that can link to each other
• Stored Displays for Diagram (context level, schema subsets)
• Printing data dictionary from the model
• Multiple National Language Support (in a customizable text file)
• Data Flow Diagrams (DFD)
• Business Process Flow Diagrams (Swim Lane)
