Enterprise modelling at its finest
Efficiently develop your enterprise models in Boston using natural business language, Object-Role Modeling (ORM), Property Graph Schema, Entity Relationship Diagrams, Use Case Diagrams and State Transition Diagrams. ORM's fact-based modelling is world renowned as a superlative data analysis and database design methodology. Employ Fact Based Modelling in your enterprise and provide natural language semantics to your data.
Automatic Normalisation for Entity-Relationship and Graph Databases
Automatic conversion of ORM diagrams to Entity-Relationship Diagrams and Property Graph Schemas positions you as ready to meet modern conceptual modelling challenges head on.
Semantic Modelling
Semantic Fact-Based Modelling is at the core of Boston. With interlinked models you are only ever a click away from your enterprise business rules in natural language. Leverage Boston's glossary and model dictionary to find the information you need for your stakeholders in rapid time.
Conceptual Modelling for Multi-Model Databases
Boston is custom built for multi-modelling. Establish your model as an Object-Role Modelling, Entity-Relationship Diagram or Property Graph Schema and then automatically convert between the languages.
As industry leans towards Relational Knowledge Graphs and Multi-Model Databases you are prepared to meet the market head on with the most advanced conceptual modeller of its kind.
Use a world leading conceptual modelling tool to perform knowledge engineering and polyglot modelling for databases in the era of semantic modelling.
Engage with your stakeholders in the most productive way as an Information Modeler or Business Analyst using documents and diagrams created in Boston. Boston is designed to be the most productive data analysis tool of its kind so that you are in the driving seat when it comes to designing and documenting your data structures.
