PNA offers innovative software for analyzing, structuring and securing knowledge capital, using the cogNIAM method as a rock-solid foundation. We help government organizations and companies be agile, efficient, compliant and transparent. iKnow: PNA’s platform for an efficient, transparent and agile knowledge-based organization. And that knowledge can be anywhere: in people’s heads, in systems, in documents. This is also what makes iKnow so suitable for applications such as Law analysis, because there it involves knowledge “hidden” in laws and regulations.
Inspired by working with users of previous versions of our tooling, and combined with our insights on knowledge modeling, PNA has developed an integrated platform of tools for analyzing and capturing knowledge quickly and effectively. The tools can be used both stand-alone and connected together.
Analysis takes place on source texts, and is translated – including intelligent bidirectional linkage to the underlying source texts – into knowledge models. Such a knowledge model in turn consists of interrelated data, control and process models, including the meaning of the various model elements. All of this is based on open standards including BPMN, DMN and FBM.
The value of captured knowledge is enhanced by its integration: knowledge about processes, data, rules and semantics does not stand alone, but is fully interconnected in a common repository. Thus, optimal consistency, clarity and mutual understanding is achieved.
Research is in our genes. Back in the late 1960s, Sjir Nijssen started scientific research that forms the basis of our approach. And we still do today. Contribute to knowledge standards, develop best practices and the continued innovation of our products and services. We do not keep all that knowledge and experience to ourselves but make it available in the form of the iKnow Suite, among others. So that every professional and every organization can achieve the desired efficiency, transparency and agility.
