SHARON, MA, August 20, 2007 – MEGA International, the global leader in business process analysis and enterprise architecture, today announced that GeoEye, the largest satellite commercial remote sensing company in the world, is using the MEGA Suite to develop an infrastructure to help managers use company resources more efficiently and meet Sarbanes-Oxley compliance directives.

Virginia-based GeoEye, which specializes in advanced geospatial imagery processing, gathers high-resolution map-accurate imagery of Earth for national security, mapping, local government planning, and natural resources and environmental monitoring.

The 2006 acquisition of another company, coupled with the new compliance regulations of Sarbanes-Oxley, made it increasingly important for GeoEye to document company processes.

“We needed a solution that would allow us to represent roles and responsibilities, document operations, and portray risks, policy and operational controls, and control objectives,” explained Hugh Klipp, director of business process management at GeoEye.

GeoEye used the MEGA Suite to develop a repository that contains the vital information on company resources for approximately 300 employees in various functional departments across three key locations. The repository is a common, shared infrastructure, containing about 200 control diagrams, each with narrative associated with risks and control objectives. It includes more than 400 defined operations. GeoEye has approximately 75 servers and 40 business applications mapped.

One of the most immediate measures of success for the project was GeoEye’s ability to produce the required Sarbanes-Oxley reports on time. Subsequent years of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance preparation are requiring an effort that only takes about 10 percent of the time required the first year.

“If we had attempted this effort in Word or Visio, it would have been an impossible task,” Klipp noted. “By using the MEGA software, it was easy to add the new roles and functions of the acquired company and quickly assess all of the company’s assets.”

With the MEGA repository, GeoEye can make massive changes quickly and easily. And, with information standardized, it is possible to identify and eliminate redundancies and bottlenecks, and create situations where departments can work together to determine how best to manage processes between them.

MEGA has aided GeoEye in creating business agility, by helping the company better manage its resources. In addition, the MEGA solution helps managers avoid problems, and save time and money by identifying the impact of organizational change through modeling, before actual changes are made. This has sharpened organizational performance and contributes to improved management of risk.

“We’ve been very pleased with MEGA’s tools and consulting support, which is top notch,” Klipp concluded. “MEGA has been an overwhelming success for GeoEye.”
