Relationship brings together planning and implementation stakeholders to accelerate business transformations
Austin, Texas - (Oct. 7th, 2009) - Sybase, Inc. (NYSE: SY), an industry leader in delivering enterprise and mobile software, and Troux Technologies, Inc., the leader in Strategic IT Planning and Control software, today announced a working relationship with plans to integrate Sybase’s PowerDesigner® enterprise modeling product with Troux’s strategic IT Planning and Enterprise Architecture solutions. The goal of the relationship is to enable the companies’ joint customers to maximize the ROI on PowerDesigner enterprise modeling investments by making those information assets available to enterprise-wide IT Planning processes. A combined solution would empower organizations towards more effective collaboration by streamlining handoffs between planning and implementation stakeholders.
“Next generation Enterprise Architecture and Strategic IT Planning requires connecting information and processes from multiple sources. Troux’s open architecture and partnering philosophy make it the solution of choice for large enterprises”, said Bill Cason, CTO for Troux. “With this relationship, joint customers will be able to leverage information from Sybase’s PowerDesigner product from within the Troux planning repository to create a unified view across Information Architecture, Enterprise Architecture, and IT Planning. ”
PowerDesigner supports EA implementations from business goals to deployment with unique Link and Synch technology. PowerDesigner removes the silos that block the easy flow of knowledge throughout the architecture of the enterprise, empowering enterprise architects to move from responding to business directives to assisting in setting business strategy.
“Today, organizations are increasingly focused on leveraging the power of enterprise architecture for business transformations such as enterprise application rationalization, technology standardization, and improved business-IT alignment,” said David Dichmann, Senior Product Manager, Sybase® PowerDesigner. “This relationship with Troux will enable organizations to better bridge the gap between enterprise transformation planning and the implementation of those plans.”
Troux Technologies, Inc. is the market leader in Gartner’s EA Magic Quadrant and provides a best-in-class EA solution for IT Planning across global 2000 organizations. The company’s software enables effective decision making by unlocking the full power of Enterprise Architecture to provide visibility into the complex web of IT people, processes, and projects.
