ARTS is pleased to offer our members an alternative to ERWin as the modeling tool for managing the Data Model. Popkin has agreed to offer their tool System Architect to members at great saving while offering increased functionality. The Data Model will be offered to members for the next two years in both tools to allow migration from existing methods to System Architect.

System Architect provides many additional functions over ERWin, including Business Process Modeling, Object Modeling in all popular object modeling methodologies. System Architect allows multiple concurrent users access to the models, thereby positioning itself as a genuine Enterprise Modeling tool which is available in many languages demanded by the increasing international ARTS membership. Current retailer users include Reality Group, John Lewis Partnership, Circuit City Stores and Thompson Holidays.

Review the offer to ARTS members for acquiring Systems Architect. If you wish more information or to purchase the software please contact Alison.Wright@Popkin.co.uk or maderR@nrf.com .
