BANGALORE, INDIA: Sybase Software (India) Pvt Ltd. (Sybase India), a leading provider of enterprise infrastructure and mobile software, today announced the launch of Sybase PowerDesigner 15 in India, an all-in-one modeling and design solution for enterprises that need to build and streamline business processes quickly and consistently.

This new version of Sybase PowerDesigner provides enterprise architects, IT professionals and business managers with the ability to improve business and IT alignment through its unique Link and Synch technology. Sybase PowerDesigner 15 also increases the capability for impact analysis and provides greater visibility for all stakeholders independent of technical experience.

In today's complex IT environments, enterprises are regularly challenged to closely align various IT elements—systems, data, applications and network - with business goals, processes and requirements. However, the knowledge of each of these elements is siloed. PowerDesigner 15 removes those silos, streamlining the enterprise's ability to respond to change. As a result, the enterprise becomes more agile, reflects the goals of multiple business units, and meets regulatory and compliance standards.

PowerDesigner, an industry acclaimed data modeling tool enables enterprises to visualize, analyze and manipulate meta data to optimize their information architecture. PowerDesigner for Enterprise Architecture also provides a model-driven approach for aligning business and IT, thereby facilitating  the implementation of effective information and enterprise architectures. "It brings powerful analysis, design and meta data management techniques to the enterprise," said Sunil Jose, managing director, Sybase India.

PowerDesigner 15 allows for easy analysis and impact measurement between the current "as-is" state of the business and the desired "to-be" state allowing for accurate, predictable and reliable IT resource planning in line with business goals. Reducing overall costs and system redundancies, PowerDesigner 15 provides a powerful modeling and meta data management tool used to align IT and business goals for meeting regulatory compliance and migrating to modern architectures such as service-oriented architectures (SOA).
