SILVERRUN RDM Relational Data Modeler

Tool for Conceptual, Logical and Physical Data Modeling

SILVERRUN RDM Relational Data Modeler is a feature-rich Business Data Architecture tool that empowers Chief Data Officers to layout a high-level Enterprise Information Management map. On the tactical level, RDM enables data stewards, data modelers and data administrators as well as database designers and database administrators to produce and maintain high-quality, enterprise-strength data models. RDM is very adaptable and can be used at virtually any stage in the development life cycle. It is equally applicable to relational as to non-relational (NoSQL) database technologies.

RDM data models can be built from scratch and/or retrieved from a variety of sources (RDBMS as well as non-relational files).

While simple data modeling tools are limited to create databases within a particular data silo, RDM will help you to design physical models of multiple target systems from one common conceptual / logical data model.

Whether your projects are focused on improving Master Data Management and/or Data Quality, SILVERRUN RDM as the industry leader in multi-level modeling and sub-modeling technologies offers all necessary features to migrate a siloed environment into an integrated ecosystem.

In the SILVERRUN suite of tools, SILVERRUN RDM is the cornerstone for creating and managing your business information architecture. It can be used for data modeling solely or in conjunction with SILVERRUN BPM (Business Process Modeler) to integrate process models and data models, as it is e.g. required to successfully set up a Data Governance program.

SILVERRUN RDM helps you to forward and reverse engineer schemas with many available database interfaces.
