RAYNHAM, Mass., May 23, 2008 – MEGA International will present a Web Conference on May 29 at 2 pm EDT. “EA Best Practices: How to Manage Your Application Lifecycle” will be presented by Scott Hendler and Eric Stephens of Excellus BlueCross BlueShield.

In this free Web Conference, Hendler and Stephens will discuss their approach to application portfolio rationalization and review BCBS’ successes. BCBS uses enterprise architecture (EA) to determine where to invest the IT budget and which technologies to keep or discontinue. The MEGA Modeling Suite helped Excellus BCBS clearly identify company functions and understand the impacts of IT resources on business processes, to enable better decisions about resources.

The MEGA Modeling Suite is a comprehensive EA software solution, helping organizations analyze their business so they can better manage market changes and trends. It provides a complete view of the processes of the organization, and the technology that supports it. The software helps organizations control information at the enterprise level, align business goals with IT resources, and reduce unknowns, delays, and costs.

Hendler is the migration strategy lead on the Skills and Architecture Transformation Team; Stephens is the director of the Enterprise Architecture & Integration Team.
