ER/Studio is Better with Team Server
• Team Server offers several key features:– Model and metadata sharing
across the entire organization
– Data Source registry to connect to physical databases
– Unified glossaries with terms defined by the team
– Team collaboration and engagement
• That provide significant benefits:– Seamless ability to share
relevant information
– Traceability of data back to its source
– A single reference source for all databases and applications
– A higher level of participation and sense of community

ER/Studio Team Server vs. Portal
EMBARCADERO TECHNOLOGIES
Share Models Across IT
EMBARCADERO TECHNOLOGIES
Share Models & Metadata with Business & IT
EMBARCADERO TECHNOLOGIES
Team Server extends Portal capabilities
• Without Team Server:– Data models are more isolated, can't be
shared as easily across the org – Access to model diagrams, metadata,
attachments, and related content is limited and read-only for business users
– Can’t tie business glossaries and terms to data.
– No centralized communication around your data.
– Collaboration and coordination around your data is less organized.
• With Team Server:– Sharing is seamless, and everyone has
access to view models that are published. – Collaboration is encouraged– Model diagrams, metadata, attachments,
and related content that are published to Team Server can be viewed and leveraged by the whole team, IT and business users alike
– Enterprise Team edition with Team Server allows teams to engage in logical & physical modeling together with process and conceptual models
– Garner more business involvement
