A good analogy we use at times is that with the reverse engineering abilities of Alchemize, we liken it to using an MRI machine. You can see under the covers of a system allowing the user to understand the structural insights and make thoughtful and accurate calls about how a system works. We use it often when we have never seen a system and don’t have enough working knowledge of the system. This has become a lifesaver for our team.
Performing the analysis at the beginning of a project saves an incredible amount of decision-making time, i.e., determining which tables to populate. Alchemize makes smart decisions with the information gained via the analysis, saving time conducting a manual detailed analysis of the systems. This helps immensely when there is no familiarity with the systems.
The ERD 2.0 is a dynamic model of the system structure that is actively navigated by Alchemize. At runtime, Alchemize navigates the structure to handle different scenarios as necessary. Dynamic views can and will be generated as needed, saving a huge amount of effort and time. In an archival job, it can navigate a tree to maintain consistency and structural integrity with minimal effort and knowledge by the user.
