An organization needs to be at a certain maturity level and have a certain data capacity to be able to have its influence. Integrating any EA product takes two to three years. Earlier, it took up to five years to fully integrate a product into an organization. We're currently building compliance policies around MEGA HOPEX.

Director Enterprise Architecture at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees

We are not using the entire platform, although we are licensed for a couple modules. The main one that we are using is ITPM. The other thing that I think we find useful outside of the obsolescence report is also having a more organized view of our applications and their technology dependencies. Matching it up with roadmaps related to technologies in a singular view. We had an application technology view that also becomes quite useful.

Global Head of Architecture Strategy at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees

If you think about, it's about having transparency, a current, complete and accurate view of your entire application ecosystem. There are a number of benefits associated with that. Whether those benefits be for strategic planning, asset management, business planning, technology lifecycle management, or operational support. Having a complete and accurate inventory of a firm's applications is actually necessitated by regulation which we're subject to. It's also simply good business practice.

The IT portfolio management (ITPM) tool allows us to collect and manage the application inventory on an ongoing basis - the data is complete and accurate on an ongoing basis. We always have a current stake snapshot of the enterprise application and technology ecosystem.

Regarding compliance - there are various regulatory drivers that necessitate that the company understands what their application assets are, what their technology assets are, manage the resolution of problems and defects against those assets. In our case, the specific driver is the FFIEC, it's applicable to banks.

Enterprise Business Architect at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees

Mega can be used to start conversations with the business. We can put a process map or capability map in front of a business user and start a conversation that way. Rather than starting from scratch and interviewing them about what they do and what systems they use, we have something to start with and can then continue from there. They can say, "Oh that's not what we do," or "You're missing this or that." Working with the business we can update the information to make it more meaningful to them.

It also helps if we're doing some sort of business analysis to scope the problem and say, "These are the things (processes, capabilities, applications, etc.) that are in scope, whereas these things are out of scope." Being a business architect, I work more on the process and capability side, than the system and application side.

Architecture modeling - since it's repository-based, it's a lot easier for people to query, create their diagrams, and check for modeling rules. That's another good feature that is available. It's easy for us to enforce standards. That's also a powerful feature which we are leveraging.

Chief Enterprise Architect at a aerospace/defense firm with 501-1,000 employees

It started improving visibility and provided us a better picture of technology dependencies. It has allowed us to better document what the business needs and more cleanly identify the technologies that are going to be needed to support the business needs. It has allowed us to have a cleaner picture of how technology is expected to help the business and reduce redundant technology provided functionality accross the organization.

Project Manager at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees

As a consultant, I implemented Mega Process in different enterprises. For example, you create a process referential, which means, you depict the general cartography and all the subsequent levels (process layers), until the finest level. You're able to see all these levels in one space, using the the drill down technique to spread them, and see all the details for each process the process referential can be shown to every SME or users by installing the publisher module.

Operational Risk Analyst at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

MEGA offers a more integrated GRC platform to facilitate enhanced coordination between the functions of Risk, Compliance, and Internal Audit on a single platform solution - HOPEX. The product for us is still in the testing/onboarding phase, hence I cannot give a firm opinion on the product's performance.
