Case Study: Minerals & Mining Company achieves accelerated, governed enterprise architecture with MEGA International's HOPEX

Instilling an Integrated Modern Architecture with Confidence

A Canada‑headquartered precious minerals and mining company launched a transformation to cut production and operating costs while improving safety, sustainability and productivity. With multiple sites using different technologies, the company needed to determine how legacy applications would coexist with a modern ecosystem, so it stood up a small enterprise architecture team and chose a platform that could provide structure, flexibility and governance.

The company implemented MEGA’s HOPEX suite (Enterprise & Business Architecture, IT Portfolio Management, Business Process Optimization) with MEGA Services, importing data from MuleSoft and ServiceNow and building a business‑outcome driven metamodel and web portal. This approach increased visibility and governance, accelerated delivery and artifact quality, revealed costly legacy dependencies that avoided unnecessary replacement, deepened EA insight and stakeholder trust, and laid the groundwork for a formal enterprise architecture program and additional HOPEX use cases.
