Data modelers and architects have to respond to multiple levels of data-related business needs. Some key activities that may need their attention include:

Build out a data model as part of a development cycle
Discover and document existing assets across the data landscape
Create and populate a data warehouse
Build out an enterprise data model
Catalog metadata for data governance or data quality initiatives
Perform an impact analysis of new policies or projected changes to models, databases, or data fields
ER/Studio Data Architect helps to address all of these situations, with robust logical and physical modeling, data dictionaries, forward and reverse engineering, and more.

Easily create high-quality data models. Toad Data Modeler enables you to rapidly deploy accurate changes to data structures across more than 20 different platforms. It allows you to construct logical and physical data models, compare and synchronize models, quickly generate complex SQL/DDL, create and modify scripts, as well as reverse and forward engineer both databases and data warehouse systems. Toad's data modeling software simplifies database design, maintenance and documentation — at a price your organization can afford.

erwin DM is the industry-leading data modeling solution with visual design and documentation capabilities for any data from anywhere across an organisation. erwin Data Modeler discovers, designs, visualises, standardises and deploys high-quality data assets through an intuitive, graphical interface. With a data model as a roadmap for your data infrastructure, you’ll have a centralised view of all your data and its sources, based on a common repository. Start using your data as a strategic asset with erwin DM.

With built-in requirements management capabilities, Enterprise Architect helps you trace high-level specifications to analysis, design, implementation, test and maintenance models using UML, SysML, BPMN and other open standards.

Full life cycle modeling for:
Business and IT systems
Software and Systems Engineering
Real-time and embedded development

Altova UModel is the UML tool that makes visual software design practical for any project. Visually design application models in UML and generate Java, C++, C#, or Visual Basic .NET code and project documentation. Or, reverse engineer existing programs into UML diagrams, then enhance your designs and complete the round trip by regenerating code.

Visualize database structures to understand your database, create new databases or reverse-engineer existing databases to modify, document, analyze, and optimize. DeZign for Databases is an intuitive data modeling tool for developers and DBA's that can help you model, create and maintain databases. The software uses entity relationship diagrams (ERDs, data models) to graphically design databases and automatically generates the most popular databases.

Eyeshot is a CAD control based on the Microsoft .NET Framework. It allows developers to add CAD functionalities to WinForms and WPF applications in a snap. Eyeshot provides tools for building geometry from scratch, for analyzing it with finite element method and to generate toolpaths on it. Geometry can also be imported or exported using CAD exchange file formats.
