PRINCETON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 15, 1996 --

For Fifth Consecutive Year, ERwin Wins the DBMS Magazine

Reader's Choice Award for Best CASE/Modeling Tool

Logic Works, Inc. (NASDAQ: LGWX), a leading provider of client/server database design, data warehouse and business process reengineering software solutions, today announced that ERwin(R) was voted the number one CASE/Modeling tool in the 1996 DBMS Readers' Choice Awards poll. ERwin was selected for the award based on the votes of DBMS readers, approximately 85,000 IS professionals who plan, build and deploy today's client/server and Internet/Intranet applications. Award winners will be highlighted in the December issue of DBMS magazine.

"Logic Works is extremely proud to have earned this prestigious award for the fifth year in a row," said Ed McLaughlin, Director of ERwin Product Marketing Management. "The DBMS readership is comprised of industry experts with real-world experience, and they have once again confirmed that ERwin is the industry standard for data modeling."

The Readers' Choice Award was awarded to ERwin 2.5. In September, Logic Works introduced ERwin 2.6, featuring industry-leading innovations such as "complete compare" and database synchronization with seamless support for Logic Works ModelMart(TM). Complete compare is a breakthrough technology for how a modeling tool interacts with database systems and supports the entire development process. ERwin 2.6 performs a comprehensive comparison of all physical objects, highlighting any discrepancies and allowing any changes to be migrated from database-to-model or model-to-database without losing any data. In addition to model-to-database synchronization, ERwin's complete compare supports model-to-model and model-to-SQL script synchronization. ERwin 2.6 also seamlessly integrates with Logic Works ModelMart, a comprehensive workgroup model management system, providing security, model merging, version control and model publishing for the workgroup and the enterprise.
