The PowerDesigner Enterprise Modeling environment allow you to create and exploit complex interdependencies between objects to model interconnected systems and view them in many different ways.
A single data item such as a product name can be implicated in multiple systems, which are modeled in a number of interdependent models. It may also be represented at various levels of abstraction in conceptual, logical, and physical data models, or in different contexts such as object-oriented, XML, business process, and enterprise architecture models.
Instead of defining this same object and all its accompanying metadata multiple times, PowerDesigner allows you to generate these instances or in other ways link them together, and provides powerful tools for tracking and analyzing the dependencies between them.
