Future versions of the product will be released under the Sybase umbrella, without the name PowerSoft. PowerSoft had been taken over by sybase in 1994, and was still operating as a Sybase subsidiary and owner of Powerdesigner at that time. PowerSoft acquires SDP in 1995 and renames S-Designor to PowerDesigner, for a matter of consistency with the brands PowerBuilder and Powersoft. The main reason for a different version is that the most popular analysis methodology in France at that time (MERISE) was not used in the US, hence a different set of models and features for both products. SDP expands their business abroad and publish a first version dedicated to the US market called S-Designor 3. The “OR” stands for Oracle, the first database targeted by SDP. The first commercial is release in France by SDP (Suresne), under the name: AMC*Designor 2.
