Naples/Paris on 23 August 2007
ASG recently announced the general availability of a new product as part of its industry-leading metadata repository solution, ASG-Rochade. The ASG-Rochade Bus for the IBM Rational Data Architect offers support for the powerful data modeling technology of IBM’s Rational Data Architect (RDA), enabling strategic, enterprise-level modeling and integration design. This new bus exchanges logical and physical models with IBM’s RDA, enabling integration design, impact analysis and data standardization.
ASG-Rochade has an unmatched track record as the leader in metadata solutions, integrating contextual information from a wide variety of sources. From the desktop to the mainframe, and everything in-between, ASG-Rochade provides traceable and reliable information to support IT and Business Service Management (BSM). With its centralized and easily accessible repository, ASG-Rochade supports the reconciliation of business and design models, integration of different tools, and resolution of conflicts in data definitions. It also provides versioning, configuration management, and security to support an overall Metadata Management strategy. These unique capabilities have been used to solve many business problems related to communication and understanding in areas such as Data Warehouse, Component/Object Management, Enterprise Architecture and Portfolio Management.
“With this important addition to the ASG-Rochade Product Suite, we bring together our powerful metatdata repository with important IBM data modeling technology, empowering business to gain additional control over enterprise information technology,” says ASG Senior Director of Product Management Ian Rowlands. “Additionally, this part of the product suite will complement ASG’s BSM solution, ASG’s Business Service Platform, for which we have harnessed the power of ASG-Rochade as its core, helping to form a MetaCMDB.”
