Don’t get left in the dark with SAP PowerDesigner: Keep the lights on with erwin

As SAP PowerDesigner approaches its end of life (EOL), you could soon find yourself plunged into data modeling darkness. The updates are stopping, support is disappearing and connectivity is limited. If you’re still relying on SAP PowerDesigner, you must ask yourself: Can my business afford to be left in the dark?

A looming power outage

The darkness is already creeping in, and it’ll only get worse, as you face:

• The end of updates – As SAP PowerDesigner is phased out, ongoing development will cease, leaving you stuck with outdated technology.
• Discontinued support – When issues arise, you’ll have nowhere to turn for help.
• Limited connectivity – PowerDesigner’s restrictions on data-platform integration will hinder your ability to adapt and scale.
• Data integrity risks – Relying on a defunct tool puts data consistency and security in jeopardy.

And all this risk and uncertainty couldn’t come at a worse time. Because data modeling is more crucial than ever to keep up in the AI race.

Building a solid data foundation is critical right now. Without that, you’ll quickly lose your ability to maintain a competitive edge, modernize your database environment and take full advantage of the AI era.
