The main difference is the timeframe: with consulting services, we define a full-time or part-time engagement for several months (typically more than 6 months).
With pay-as-you-go services, a maximum of 10 man-days are planned within a 10-week period, allowing the work to be carried out alongside other projects. Because the consulting timeframe is long, these services must be booked well in advance.

When we develop code, it is optimized. However, we do not perform full optimization, as this requires significant time and is not always necessary. Depending on the contract, it may be possible to include optimization or coaching services along with consulting services.

Yes. If it is not possible to establish a direct contract with BeOptimized, we can work via a third party. BeOptimized is based in Brussels and we only work with Belgian companies, preferably with official SAS partners or the SAS Institute. However, working directly with BeOptimized is always best, as it improves our B2B relationship, reduces costs for the customer, increases our efficiency, and automatically includes coaching and optimization services.

We are based in Brussels, Belgium. While we can work in other cities, we prefer to stay close to our clients and mainly focus on Brussels-based companies. Coaching and optimization services can also be delivered remotely.

It was a great experience working at UCLouvain with students from all over the world, but the services offered by BeOptimized are exclusively reserved for companies If you are student and want to learn SAS, we have listed a few websites that can help you learn SAS at your own pace.

The sooner we meet, the sooner we can schedule something together. If you prefer, we can also add your company to our waiting list and contact you when we have availability. Contact us to be added to our list.

Coaching is available in French or English.

Yes, you will need SAS software for the exercises. However, you can use SAS Studio for free if you wish via SAS OnDemand for Academics: Independent Learners.

All code is developed and tested for a specific environment at a given time. If something changes in your data (such as removed columns or tables), the code may no longer work. If BeOptimized was contracted via a third party, responsibility lies with that party. However, if you worked with BeOptimized directly, we will do our best to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Some clients allow us to keep access to their laptops for a period after service implementation. This is very helpful, as it allows us to check logs remotely almost immediately.
