ASG-Manager Products
For Understanding, Managing, and Extending Existing Systems

The ASG-Manager Products suite enables your IT department to ensure data quality and create knowledge, and it permits decision makers to get the information they need quickly.

ASG-Manager Products’ underlying repository provides a means to integrate, exchange, and reuse metadata. It creates a foundation for information engineering across different tools and platforms, storing the master set of metadata to prevent lock-in of individual tools. As a result, models within and across project teams are high-quality and consistent.

The repository:

• Enables application development and information engineering


• Maximizes metadata exchange (XML)


• Promotes enterprise and data modeling, logical and physical database design


• Enables data definition language (DDL) generation


• Allows workstation-based graphical information engineering

Information can be presented via:

• ASG-Web Enabler, a secure Web-based interface


• ASG-ManagerView, a Java 2-implemented intelligent GUI that provides a direct window into the repository, allowing information to be updated, captured, and graphically displayed
• An Eclipse plug-in for integration with advanced development environments

ASG-Manager Products provides out-of-the-box support for select metadata sources and predefined repository information models (RIMs) and can be customized to meet your needs.
