(1)  This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-4 on Form S-8 covers up to
     557,798 shares of Common Stock of Keane, Inc. ("Keane") subject to
     options assumed by Keane and reserved for issuance pursuant to the terms of
     an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of
     August 20, 2001, by and among Keane, Veritas Acquisition Corp., a wholly
     owned subsidiary of Keane ("Veritas"), and Metro Information Services, Inc.
     ("Metro").  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Veritas merged (the
     "Merger") with and into Metro with Metro continuing as a wholly owned
     subsidiary of Keane.  Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Keane
     assumed all of the options issued and outstanding under the Metro
     Information Services, Inc. Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Plan (the
     "Metro Stock Plan").

(2)  Keane previously paid $32,231 upon the initial filing of the Registration
     Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-68566) to register 8,057,500 shares of
     Common Stock issuable to shareholders of Metro, including the 557,798
     shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to the Metro Stock
     Plan.  Therefore, no additional fee is required in connection with this
     filing.


             INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT NOT FORMING PART OF PROSPECTUS

     Keane, Inc. ("Keane") hereby amends its Registration Statement on Form S-4

Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-4 on Form S-8 (the "Post-Effective
Amendment") relating to 557,798 shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per
share (the "Common Stock"), of Keane to be issued upon the exercise of options
granted under the Metro Information Services, Inc. Amended and Restated 1997
Stock Option Plan (the "Metro Stock Plan").  The designation of the Post-

Post-Effective Amendment is being filed on Form S-8 pursuant to the provisions
of Rule 401(e) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and the procedures

     Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Section 67 of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law permits a
Massachusetts corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and
other agents to whatever extent specified in or authorized by the articles of
organization, a by-law adopted by the stockholders or a vote adopted by the
holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote on the election of
directors.  Except as otherwise provided in the articles of organization or the
by-laws, any of these persons who are not directors may be indemnified to the
extent authorized by the directors.  Indemnification may include payment of
expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding in
advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding and may be
provided although the person is no longer affiliated with the corporation.
No indemnification shall be provided, however, for any person with respect to
any matter as to which he shall have been adjudicated in any proceeding not to
have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the
best interests of the corporation. A corporation also has the power to purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or other agent of the corporation against any liability
incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against
such liability.

     Section 13(b) of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law permits a
Massachusetts corporation to provide in its articles of organization that a
director of the corporation shall not personally be liable to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the directors duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Sections 61 or 62 of the Massachusetts Business Corporation
Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit.

     Article 6A of the registrant's Articles of Organization provides that no
director of the registrant shall be liable for monetary damages for any breach
of fiduciary duty, except to the extent that the Massachusetts Business
Corporation Law prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of
directors for breach of fiduciary duty.

     Article 6B of the registrant's Articles of Organization provides generally
that the registrant will indemnify each person who is or was or has agreed to be
a director or officer of the registrant against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the maximum extent
permitted from time to time under the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law.

     The registrant maintains officers' and directors' insurance in the amount
of $30,000,000.

                                      -2-


       ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

       Not applicable.

       ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS.

       The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated
herein by reference.

       ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

       1.  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;

                (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
                after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
                most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
                individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
                in the information set forth in the registration statement.
                Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
                volume of securities offered (if the table dollar value of
                securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
                and any deviation from the low or high end 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 "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
                the effective registration statement; and

                (iii) To include any material information with respect to the
                plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
                registration statement or any material change to such
                information in the registration statement; provided, however,
                                                           -----------------
                that paragraphs (i) and (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 with or
                furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to
                Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
                incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

           (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
           Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
           be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
           therein, and the offering of such securities at that 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.

                                      -3-


       2.  The undersigned 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 Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
                         ---- ----

       3.  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 foregoing provisions, 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.


                                      -4-
