Case Study: Mid-Market Professional Services Company achieves data governance, clear lineage and six-figure cost savings with MEGA International (HOPEX)

Mid-Market Professional Services Company uses EA to govern data

A mid-market professional services firm that relies on its people’s knowledge faced no information governance: metadata was unmanaged across hundreds of applications, data quality was poor, and there was no visibility into how data flowed between systems. The company needed an enterprise architecture tool that could capture both logical and physical data flows while offering breadth, depth and flexibility suitable for a mid-market organization.

The firm implemented MEGA’s HOPEX platform with MEGA services, creating a centralized EA repository and using capability mapping, industry reference modeling, data-flow modeling and IT portfolio management to normalize and visualize data. The solution established data governance and clear lineage, created a single source of truth, enabled integrations (e.g., ServiceNow, Collibra), and saved the company hundreds of thousands of dollars by avoiding unnecessary application purchases.
