Example Solutions – A managed EA service

This government client wanted to grow the use of EA and Prolaborate for process modelling. Including hosted repositories, EA support and training.

Building best practice

A government department uses Sparx EA mostly for process modelling. They only started using EA 12-18 months ago, but it has proved useful. Processes are easier to visualize, easier to re-use within and across projects, and the stakeholder deliverables can be of much higher quality – delivered using Prolaborate.

They came to us at the point where they were planning to roll-out EA process modelling to some more teams, but were not sure how they could support this.

The first few teams supported themselves but there was a lot to learn, and they now know that they can’t/don’t want to support more teams of EA ‘newbies’.

After several weeks of discussions, prototyping and investigations – and some hard conversations with their in-house security experts – they decided they wanted a ‘managed EA service’ from us. This includes:

  • All their repositories are now in the cloud, managed by our experts
  • They are sharing processes with their stakeholders using Prolaborate.
  • We are training new users in the basics of EA, and being available as ‘mentors’ to get new teams started quickly, including a weekly drop-in modelling clinic where we take users step-by-step through worked examples using screen sharing .
  • We worked with the current teams to take the learnings from the initial projects, and put that into a ‘Process Modelling Best Practice’ guide, which we are now using to train the next set of users
  • They are still using mostly desktop EA, but there is a plan to start a ‘proof-of-concept’ for one new team, using 100% cloud EA.
