K2®
The K2® software platform, built on .NET technology, provides tools for building workflows and process-driven applications that improve business efficiency.
Companies use K2 software to streamline operations and reduce IT costs, improve responsiveness, minimize risk, make better decisions, enforce governance, and increase visibility. Some of these benefits are common for workflow and BPM vendors, but K2 tools allow companies to reach all these benefits more quickly, more easily, and with less technical skill required than any other available product.
We have a range of products to meet the needs of organizations with varying business needs, technical resources and budgets; because, in software, one size does not fit all.
Our flagship product, K2 blackpearl® is our most comprehensive software for building process-driven applications across the enterprise.
With K2 blackpearl, the complexity of traditional software development is replaced with easy-to-use, visual tools. These tools enable business analysts and more technical people to work on their own or collaborate to assemble process-driven applications.
Because these tools are built on Microsoft technology and because K2 users actually complete work in the Microsoft programs they already know, little training is required and user buy-in is quick. K2 provides more integration points and deeper integration with Microsoft than any other software product in the space.
K2 blackpearl applications can span line-of-business systems. Then what’s been built can be reused like building blocks to assemble new applications.
K2 blackpearl design surfaces — browser-based, or hosted in SharePoint, Visio and Visual Studio — are appropriate for a broad range of users and technical-skill sets. And because the process definition is not tied to the designer, users can collaborate regardless of their technical skill or preference.
With K2 blackpearl, everything is visual. Everything is declarative. Everything is reusable. Everything is intuitive.
>> K2 blackpoint™
K2 blackpoint™ is a subset of K2 blackpearl features and capabilities, specifically tailored for organizations that want SharePoint workflows — without the usual complexity and coding requirements.
This lower-cost software — starting at $5,000 U.S. — enables business users and non-developers to build SharePoint workflows and applications through a simple, Office-style designer and a Silverlight-based Web designer.
K2 blackpoint applications can span libraries, sites, server farms and organizations; they can be built to manage approvals or route documents and list items. With K2 blackpoint everything can be built without code, and users can assemble applications from information that already exists.
K2 blackpoint makes it easy to get started with workflows and process-driven applications, and because K2 blackpoint is a subset of K2 blackpearl features and tools, organizations can grow their investment and add more capabilities over time, something not available with other software vendors.
