Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "estimates," "should," "will likely" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These factors include those set forth in "Risk Factors" herein. -4- THE COMPANY Keane provides software design, development, integration and management services for corporations, government agencies and healthcare facilities. Keane's services and methodologies enable clients to leverage their existing information systems capability and more rapidly and cost-effectively develop and manage mission-critical software applications. The Company serves its clients through two operating divisions: the Information Services Division ("ISD") and the Healthcare Services Division ("HSD"). ISD, which accounted for approximately 94% of the Company's revenues in 1996, provides software design, development, outsourcing and integration services to corporations and government agencies with large and recurring software development needs. HSD develops, markets and supports financial, patient care and clinical application software for hospitals and long-term care facilities. The Company provides services primarily to Fortune 1,000 companies, including AT&T Corporation, Eastman Kodak Company, General Electric Company, International Business Machines Corporation, McDonald's Corporation and Proctor & Gamble Company. The Company understands that the staff of the Boston Regional Office of the Commission (the "Staff") is conducting an investigation under a formal order with respect to certain sales of the Company's Common Stock made on behalf of the Keane Family Foundation (the "Foundation"), a charitable foundation of which John F. Keane, Sr., Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Keane, is trustee, in a market transaction on November 30, 1995. To the Company's knowledge: (i) the Staff has made a preliminary determination to recommend that an action be brought against Mr. Keane and the Foundation seeking disgorgement and an injunction against insider trading, and against Mr. Keane seeking a penalty, and (ii) no findings or conclusions with respect to the investigation have been made by the Commission. Mr. Keane and the Foundation will have an opportunity to respond to the recommendation, and that response will be submitted for consideration by the Commission before it takes action on any final recommendation by the Staff. Keane is a Massachusetts corporation. The Company's principal executive offices are located at Ten City Square, Boston, Massachusetts, 02129 and its telephone number is (617) 241-9200. As used herein, the terms "Keane" and the "Company" include Keane, Inc. and its subsidiaries. -5- RISK FACTORS The Shares of Common Stock offered hereby include a high degree of risk. The following risk factors should be considered carefully in addition to the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus before purchasing the Shares offered hereby. Except for the historical information contained herein, the discussion in this Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. When used in this Prospectus, the words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "estimates," "should," "will likely" and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements made in this Prospectus should be read as being applicable to all related forward- looking statements wherever they appear in this Prospectus. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed here. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below, as well as those discussed elsewhere herein. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Fluctuations in Operating Results. The Company has experienced and expects --------------------------------- to continue to experience fluctuations in its quarterly results. Gross margins vary based on a variety of factors including employee utilization rates and the number and type of services performed by the Company during a particular period. A variety of factors influence the level of the Company's revenues in a particular quarter, including general economic conditions which may influence its clients and potential clients to invest in their information systems or to downsize their businesses, the number and requirements of client engagements, employee utilization rates, changes in the rates the Company is able to charge clients for its services, acquisitions by the Company and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. Since a significant portion of the expenses of the Company do not vary relative to the Company's level of revenues, if revenues in a particular quarter do not meet expectations, operating results will be adversely affected, which may have an adverse impact on the market price of the Company's Common Stock. In addition, many of the Company's engagements are terminable without client penalty. An unanticipated termination of a major project could result in an increase in underutilized employees and a decrease in revenue and profits. Risks Relating to Acquisitions. In the past five years, the Company has ------------------------------ grown significantly through acquisitions, and the Company's future growth may be based in part on selected acquisitions. The Company's ability to expand successfully by acquisitions depends on many factors, including the successful identification and acquisition of businesses and management's ability to integrate and operate the new businesses effectively. The Company competes for acquisition candidates with other entities, some of whom have greater financial resources than the Company. Increased competition for acquisition candidates may result in fewer acquisition opportunities being made available to the Company as well as less advantageous acquisition terms, including increased purchase prices. The anticipated benefits from any acquisition may not be achieved unless the operations of the acquired business are successfully combined with those of the Company in a timely manner. The integration of the Company's acquisitions requires substantial attention from management. The diversion of the attention of management, and any difficulties encountered in the transition process, could have an adverse impact on the Company's revenues and operating results. In addition, the process of integrating the various businesses could cause the interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, the activities of some or all of these businesses, which could have an adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial results. Dependence on Personnel. The Company believes that its future success will ----------------------- depend in large part on its ability to continue to attract and retain highly- skilled technical and management personnel. The competition for such personnel is intense. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to attract and retain personnel necessary for the development of its business. -6- Highly Competitive Market. The custom software services market is highly ------------------------- competitive and characterized by continual change and improvement in technology. The market is fragmented, and no company holds a dominant position. Consequently, the Company's competition for client assignments and experienced personnel varies significantly from city to city and by the type of service provided. Some of the Company's competitors are larger and have greater technical, financial and marketing resources and greater name recognition in the markets they serve than does the Company. In addition, clients may elect to increase their internal information systems resources to satisfy their custom software development needs. The Company believes that the bases for competition in the software services industry include the ability to compete cost- effectively, develop strong client relationships, generate recurring revenues, utilize comprehensive delivery methodologies and achieve organizational learning by implementing standard operational processes. In the healthcare software systems market, the Company competes with some companies that are larger in the healthcare market and have greater financial resources than the Company. The Company believes that significant competitive factors in the healthcare software systems market include size and demonstrated ability to provide service to targeted healthcare markets. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to compete successfully with its existing competitors or will be able to compete successfully with any new competitors. Risks of Stock Volatility and Absence of Dividends. In recent years, the -------------------------------------------------- stock market in general and the market for technology stocks, in particular, including the Company's Common Stock, have experienced extreme price fluctuations. There is a risk that stock price fluctuation could impact the Company's operations. Changes in the price of the Company's Common Stock could affect the Company's ability to successfully attract and retain qualified personnel or complete necessary business combinations or other transactions in the future. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its capital stock, and there can be no assurances that the Company will ever do so in the future. RECENT EVENTS On January 30, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Quantum in exchange for 180,339 shares of its Common Stock. Within 30 days of the date of this Prospectus,On March 3, 1998, the Company expects to issue up toissued an additional 9,489 shares of the Company's Common Stock to the former shareholders of Quantum pursuant to a post-closing purchase price adjustment. In addition, in connection with the Quantum Acquisition, the Company, the representative of the former shareholders of Quantum and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as escrow agent, have entered into an Escrow Agreement, dated January 30, 1998, providing, among other things, that 18,984 shares of the Company's Common Stock received by such Quantum shareholders pursuant to the Quantum Acquisition will be held in escrow to indemnify the Company in the event of any breaches of representations, warranties or covenants made by Quantum in the Merger Agreement. Quantum, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keane with the name "Keane Pittsburgh, Inc.", is an application development and software consulting company based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Quantum Acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of interests. USE OF PROCEEDS The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders. -7- THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS The Selling Shareholders acquired the Shares from the Company in connection with the Company's acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Quantum. The Quantum Acquisition was consummated on January 30, 1998.

To the extent required, the names of any agents, broker-dealers or underwriters and applicable commissions, concessions, allowances or discounts and any other required information with respect to any particular offer of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders, will be set forth in a Prospectus Supplement. Each of the Selling Shareholders has advised the Company that he, she or it does not anticipate paying any consideration other than usual and customary broker's commissions in connection with sales of the Shares. Each of the Selling Shareholders is acting independently of the Company in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The Company has not been advised of any definitive selling arrangement at the date of this Prospectus between any Selling Shareholder and any broker-dealer or agent. In offering the Shares covered by this Prospectus, each of the Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for such Selling Shareholder may be considered to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profits realized by such Selling Shareholder and the compensation of such broker-dealers may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all expenses of registration of the Shares will be paid by Keane, including Commission filing fees, and the Selling Shareholders shall bear all brokerage or underwriting expenses or commissions, if any, applicable to the sale of the Shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify in certain circumstances each of the Selling Shareholders and any underwriter and certain control and other persons related to the foregoing persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Each of the Selling Shareholders has agreed to indemnify in certain circumstances the Company and certain related persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Shares by the Selling Shareholders. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed with each of the Selling Shareholders to keep the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (i) such time as all of the Shares have been sold by the Selling Shareholders, or (ii) January 30, 1999. The Company intends to de-register any of the Shares not sold by the Selling Shareholders at the end of such period. Certain Selling Shareholders, holding or having the right to acquire up to an aggregate of 171,605 Shares as of the date of this Prospectus, have agreed with the Company not to sell, exchange, transfer, distribute, pledge or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any transaction to reduce his or her interest in or risk relating to (whether by short sale or otherwise) or any transaction which would result in a direct or indirect disposition of the Shares until such time as the Company has published (within the meaning of Accounting Series Release Nos. 130 and 135 published by the Commission) financial results covering at least 30 days of combined operations of Quantum and Keane. -10- LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the shares offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Hale and Dorr LLP, Boston, Massachusetts.

Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution. The following table sets forth the various expenses to be incurred in connection with the sale and distribution of the securities being registered hereby, all of which will be borne by the Company. All amounts shown are estimates except the Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Section 67 of Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws ("Section 67") provides that a corporation may indemnify its directors and officers to the extent specified in or authorized by (i) the articles of organization, (ii) a by-law adopted by the stockholders, or (iii) a vote adopted by the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote on the election of directors. In all instances, the extent to which a corporation provides indemnification to its directors and officers under Section 67 is optional. The Registrant's Articles of Organization provide that the Registrant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law, indemnify each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director of officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Registrant, as a director or officer of, or in a similar capacity with, another organization, or in any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Registrant, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments and fines incurred by such person or on his or her behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom. However, the Registrant would not provide indemnification if the person seeking indemnification has been adjudicated not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interests of the Registrant or, if applicable, the best interests of the participants in or beneficiaries of the Registrant's employee benefit plans. Article 6 of the Registrant's Articles of Organization, as amended, eliminates the personal liability of the Registrant's directors to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary duty, except to the extent Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws prohibits the elimination or limitation of such liability. Item 16. List of Exhibits. 55* Opinion of Hale and Dorr LLP. 23.123.1* Consent of Hale and Dorr LLP, included in Exhibit 5 filed herewith. 23.2 Consent of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. 2424* Power of Attorney (See page II-5 of this Registration Statement). - ------------------ * Previously filed. Item 17. Undertakings. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"); (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, II-2 individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any derivation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the Registration Statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions described herein, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-3 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Boston, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on this 12th day of February,March, 1998.
