K2 makes software that automates business processes to increase efficiency and reduce costs for companies all over the world. Our solutions — built on top of the Microsoft platform — fit the unique needs of each business that uses K2.

WORKFLOW
On its most basic level, this involves routing documents and tasks electronically between people and systems. People can access their tasks in a Web-based task list on their laptop or mobile. Workflows save time, save paper, reduce errors and provide some level of visibility.

Examples: Contract approval, vacation requests, Web content publishing

Business process management (BPM)
Often uses workflow as a foundation and expands the solution in dimension, scope and capability.

  • More complex scenarios
  • Use information from multiple systems
  • Great visibility and reporting
  • Flexibility to change and improve

Examples: Procurement, customer service, inventory control

PROCESS-DRIVEN APPLICATIONS
All the components of workflow and all the components of BPM are present, but there's more. Process-driven applications bring together processes, people, services, information and systems — simply, without unnecessary complexity. They are flexible, scalable and reusable.

Examples: Case management, HR onboarding, project lifecycle management.
