PNA provides a results-oriented and integrated vision for decision making on digitization issues. We analyze the relevant laws and regulations, business processes, as well as business rules, data definitions and decisions, and ensure a match between your objectives, the necessary information and the various systems.
The result is that you are better and faster able to identify the bottlenecks and opportunities in your organization and generate the right solutions from there.
In addition to our specific products and solutions, we also offer more general consulting services in the areas of knowledge analysis and modeling, law analysis, data management and model implementation.
Knowledge is everywhere: in formal and informal documents, systems and databases, and in people’s heads. Knowledge is generated by humans, but in recent years, of course, increasingly by algorithms. Knowledge is crucial for decision-making, and therefore for the optimal functioning of your processes.
We are able to make all knowledge relevant to your organization visible and traceable. The cogNIAM® method guarantees the completeness and traceability of the secured knowledge. Our analysts are the world’s most experienced experts for analysis based on Fact Based Modeling, BPMN 2.0/SBVR and DMN. Using cogNIAM®, possibly supported by our knowledge tools, you are able to increase the value of your knowledge capital.
PNA makes visible the connection between processes, rules, data and semantics of your organization. We have developed the knowledge molecule for this purpose, which is integral to cogNIAM®. In this way, we model not only data and information, but also its meaning and the context in which it is used. Models can then be used without human intervention in no code / low code platforms. This puts truly model-based software within reach, with the benefit of higher quality at substantially lower cost.
Laws and regulations are crucial to the functioning of your organization. To ensure that you comply with laws and regulations, and stay compliant, we have developed a proven approach in collaboration with our clients. This approach handles the translation of laws and regulations into (digital) implementation. The approach, supported by our knowledge tools, ensures that laws and regulations and implementation practices always match, or compliance inside.
Our analysts are happy to help you implement the approach as well as the analysis itself.
You want to be able to manage data: they must be reliable, correctable and accessible. However, data flows-both incoming and outgoing-have grown explosively and exponentially in recent years. To cope with that growth, data management is crucial. In our approach, based on DMBOK2, data management is ingrained, so to speak, if only because we value the meaning of data so much. Information about customers, for example, may very well be housed in multiple systems, but may also be used in very different ways by the various departments or employees in a company. So it is important to be able to start from the same definitions to then also generate meaningful reports.
Cooperation with PNA does not have to end after we work with you to develop a knowledge model. We can also support you in designing and realizing the information systems based on your knowledge models. Because those models are so rich, we are able to generate many system components. But often additional design and programming work will need to be done. With us, functionality, architecture, investments and risks are central to this, of course using an Agile approach. We guide you through acceptance testing, implementation and evaluation of the system.
