SAP PowerDesigner: Enterprise Architecture tools for digital transformation success

Plan and manage complex business transformation initiatives with SAP PowerDesigner. The software’s data modeling tools let you build a blueprint of your current enterprise architecture and visualize the impact of change before it happens. Automatically capture architecture layers and requirements, tap into a powerful metadata repository, and share discoveries with your team. 

Why SAP PowerDesigner?

Because it can help you manage complex information architectures and visualize the potential impact of new technologies before you implement them. Take advantage of best-in-class data modeling tools, link-and-sync technology, metadata management, and more.

  • Map and understand your information architecture to prepare for new technologies and process improvements
  • Capture all business requirements and design ideal implementation plans using a drag-and-drop interface
  • Perform IT impact analyses to avoid potential risks and roadblocks
  • Streamline data migration, including to SAP HANA, with a built-in migration feature
  • Simplify collaboration between business and IT with intuitive visualizations and Web-based dashboards
