7 Gartner 说三个建模技术要连结在一起 Gartner research note decembre 2003 Strategic Planning, SPA M. Blechar  Predicts 2004: BPA, UML and Data Modeling Converge « Techniques such as business process analysis are converging to provide technical architects, business modelers, developers and database designers consistency, productivity and quality via reuse and code automation. »  « …Vendors such as Sybase (PowerDesigner) and … offer single products that span all three markets. Most UML modeling tool vendors already have some BPA and database design support in their tools, and vice versa. … » Source: Gartner
