Realize Your Business Intelligence Projects with Innovator
Innovator is your powerful tool for data modeling. It enables both conventional and multi-dimensional modeling, as well as Data Warehouse modeling with Data Vault. Innovator provides various diagrams with customizable standard notation for conceptual schema and database schema. Integrated comparison functions and interfaces support comparison between these schemata and the existing databases so that changes can be carried out securely and in a controlled manner.

These Functions and Many More are Waiting for you in Innovator

Relationships Between Views
Innovator enables the visualization of relationships between the views of an entity relationship model on the basis of the underlying entities. Relationships are automatically evaluated and do not have to be explicitly modeled. This is extremely useful when reengineering databases. Simply import the database schema and automatically derive the conceptual model from it. You can then use this model to visualize relationships between views, enabling you to quickly identify relationships and potential for improvement.

Data Lineage
Use Innovator’s impact analysis to trace the data origin to the attribute level as an automated process and visualize it. This gives you peace of mind knowing that your analysis data is accurate and informative.

Database Manager
The database manager depicts tables and views of your database and your model and prepares comparison commands. You can compare both sides. The complete initial import helps with documenting the existing database and with incorporating your database into new projects.

Import Wizard for Databases
You can use the import wizard to add the right tables from your database into your Innovator model in a few easy steps. The wizard either imports the tables directly via a JDBC connection to the database or from a DDL file. The connection data is stored in the wizard making it easy to repeat imports into the Innovator model.

IDEF1X Notation for ER and Database Diagrams
IDEF1X is a data modeling technique based on the entity relationship model (ERM). IDEF1X sets notations for entities, attributes, relationships or categorizations for the ER diagram, enabling you a graphic representation of your data model and mapping the information structure and semantic within the environment or system.

Entity Relationship Diagram
Innovator is the perfect tool for designing databases, thanks to its tried-and-tested standards (classic Chen notation, James Martin (“crow’s foot”) SERM, DSA now IDEF1X notation) and methods, coupled with excellent functionality. Its highly configurable mapping makes Innovator ideal for conceptual schemata and protects your investments, thanks to its reusable, platform-independent conceptual models.

Mapping between Conceptual DB Models and Physical DB Design
Use Innovator to easily create a database model from your conceptual model. Vice versa, it is also possible to create a conceptual model from an existing database model; this makes model-driven database development even easier. Automated mapping between conceptual ER models and database schema not only increases efficiency, but also makes things easier and more flexible.

Physical Database Design
Database design takes the existing database management system and its restrictions into consideration. The database can be described fully by the database administrators; this is done by denormalizing tables and creating elements which are typically found in databases, such as indexes, user management, data organization etc.

Multi-Dimensional Modeling
This model form in Innovator is specifically designed for communication with departments in the Business Intelligence environment. You can use cube diagrams for showing which analysis options the OLAP cube will have. You can depict dimensions, hierarchies, and their levels, based on the cube design. Through integration with the conceptual data model, you can always trace the point of origin of analysis data. Innovator uses this model to generate physical data models; these can then be used to create scripts for creating your analysis database.

Data Vault 2.0
The Data Vault 2.0 method has many advantages: Increased flexibility and comprehensive data histories, right through to strong parallelization of the data-loading process for your Data Warehouse. Innovator provides full Data Vault 2.0 notation support and efficient modeling support.
