    Be Informed

    Be Informed is an internationally operating, independent software vendor based in the Netherlands. The Be Informed business process platform is based on the principles of dynamic case management and supports administrative processes, that are increasingly becoming knowledge-intensive.

    Be Informed provides a breakthrough in organizational business operations by strictly separating the "know" from the "flow".  "The flow" consists of all services required for reliable and high-performing processes and is managed by a company’s IT department.  "The know" is managed by business users themselves and consists of all business rules, organized in a unique "ontological" structure.

    Organizations using the Be Informed software often report cost savings of tens of percents, dramatically improved productivity because of a much higher straight-through processing rate and a time to change reduced from months to days. IT professionals experience deployments up to seven times faster and up to 90% more cost-efficient.
