Cited for Excellence among Software Design, Frameworks and Modeling Tools by Microsoft Developer Community

ISLANDIA, N.Y., July 2008 – CA (NASDAQ: CA) today announced that CA ERwin Data Modeler received a “Reader’s Choice” award from Visual Studio Magazine. Readers chose CA ERwin Data Modeler for excellence in the software design, frameworks and modeling category based on its proven ability to add value, efficiency and performance to customers worldwide.

This year’s annual Reader’s Choice award is based on Visual Studio-related products receiving the most votes from a survey sent to over 23,000 Visual Studio Magazine subscribers. The ballot included over 400 products across 22 categories.

“A VSM Reader’s Choice Award is one of the most significant honors that a software development company can win,” said Patrick Meader, editor-in-chief of Visual Studio Magazine. “Developers—and only developers—determine the winners in this annual survey, so winning an award is an endorsement from the down-in-the-trenches coder, the person who must use these products to effect solutions.”

CA ERwin Data Modeler supports the simple, efficient creation of high-quality databases and database applications by enabling the visualization and easy manipulation of complex data structures, the inventorying of information assets and the establishment of business-wide standards for managing data. It intelligently streamlines the design process and synchronizes the model with the database design.

“Developers are looking for a simple, cost-effective way to create and maintain high-quality data bases, data warehouses and data models despite complex data, database technologies and deployment environments,” said Sean Graham, vice president, software engineering for Data Modeling at CA. “We are honored that Visual Studio readers recognize how we take a leadership role in significantly accelerating time-to-value for their Visual Studio implementations.”

1105 Redmond Media Group’s Visual Studio Magazine is a leading independent publication serving the Microsoft Developer Community, providing award-winning editorial for over 85,000 software architects, senior developers and development managers.
