Manual upgrade for stand-alone usersCorporate Modeler 10 provides you with a completely new diagrammer and
an industry-standard database platform. The theme of this release is "ease
of use". We have replaced the Process Dynamics, Hierarchy, Entity
and Data Flow with one single program which we have called, simply, "Corporate
Modeler". All diagrams are created and edited in the one program.
