Origin of Name

Holosofx (h ôl ` ô säf ` eks), is derived from the Latin term holop and the Greek term sophic, meaning whole and wisdom, respectively.[4] This name was chosen because its products and services empower corporations to better understand their business processes, the cumulative wisdom of the organization.

The first software product from Holosofx was a modelling tool originally called BPR, later renamed WF-BPR, and finally BPM Workbench.
