| OR-Compass | Logic Works | POA | Object-Relational Modelling. I saw this mentioned in a User Group somewhere, but the only reference I found is in this 1998 article in DBMS magazine. Logic Works was taken over by Platinum, which was taken over by CA, and the CA Product Listing does not include OR-Compass. If anyone can give me a URL, I'd be very grateful. |

| Platinum Repository | Computer Associates | This is a Repository, rather than a Modelling Tool, with a 'Where-used' facility, and it lets you add entity types,such as Business Function, Business Role and Script. | |
| Poseidon | GentleWare | Comes highly recommended, good for UML, and has an open-source FREE version. | |
| Power Designer | Sybase | $2,000 | If you are buying for the company, buy this one. The Data Modelling Tool in this composite product is called "DataArchitect". Unfortunately, the design of the web site has changed recently and information about Data Architect is difficult to find. But the product is excellent, and I have found its powerful Reverse Engineering facilities to be very useful. |
| ProVision WorkBench | Proforma Corporation. | Prices on Application !!! | "A Repository-based integrated business process and object modeling toolset." An interesting range of Data Model Exchange facilities. |

| Saphir | $14,000 is an indicative price | Saphir is more than a Modelling Tool. It sits between an ERP like SAP and a Modelling Tool like ERWin. It provides a very useful and powerful Metadata manipulation package which allows you to extract metadata from ERPs such as SAP, J.D. Edwards and PeopleSoft, which can then be 'reverse engineered' into a Modelling Tool like ERwin, to see the Data Model. |
