It is designed specifically for users who do not perform modeling activities, but need to access essential business process modeling information.

MEGA Advisor is the newest offering in the MEGA Modeling Suite for EA and business process modeling.

Combined with the new interfaces, MEGA Advisor offers businesses truly intelligent reporting, by integrating MEGA BPA and EA information with dynamic indicators from third party tools. MEGA Advisor offers: * Role-based content delivery. The definition of user profiles enables a presentation of the MEGA Advisor portal that filters through the vast amounts of information available from the enterprise repository to give a targeted view, including a specific home page and favorites. * Integration with other tools. The modular architecture of the Web portal enables it to interface with runtime tools so that dynamic indicators and other external data from other applications or resources can be incorporated into the MEGA Advisor portal.
