The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Architecture Management Suites, Q1 2023

BOSTON/PARIS, MEGA International has been named a Leader by Forrester Research, Inc., in “The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Architecture Management Suites, Q1 2023” published January 17, 2023. Forrester named MEGA one of the four leaders among enterprise architecture (EA) tool vendors. MEGA received its highest scores in the customer-facing architecture, security architecture, resilient architecture, insights-driven architecture, and organizational architecture criteria.

For this evaluation, Forrester identified the 12 most significant enterprise architecture management suite providers and researched, analyzed, and scored them against 27 criteria. The report found that MEGA’s HOPEX Platform has the strongest offering.

“MEGA is a long-established senior player in the EA market. Its HOPEX product has superior support for four of the six use cases: customer-facing, security, resilient, and organization architecture,” said the report. “HOPEX excels at modeling and analyzing customer experience (CX) architecture elements, supporting security and risk frameworks, supporting risk and threat detection, and management, and modeling human capital assets. It is on par with others evaluated in support for insights-driven architecture use cases and most other use cases.”

Another key takeaway identified by the report found that MEGA International “meets the needs of both immature and mature EA professionals. The HOPEX product provides strong support for customer-facing, security, resilient, and organization architecture use cases. MEGA has a strong strategy which is on par with other evaluated vendors and its product roadmap is likely to further improve its strategic position.”

MEGA’s HOPEX platform allows for faster data-driven decision-making through actionable insights, reports, and dashboards. Because HOPEX is a single shared collaborative platform, users can collaborate with teams across the enterprise to identify and execute routine or transformative business changes and architect their IT landscape from strategy to execution.

“Our HOPEX platform is built to accelerate time to value with our business-outcome-driven approach to enterprise architecture,” explained Luca de Risi, CEO of MEGA. “We advocate a next-gen EA approach which focuses on future-proofing your organization using a connected enterprise architecture methodology that joins strategy, business, risk, data, and IT perspectives together on a single source of truth.”
