K2.net ASP licensed workflow solution: A first in SA

Johannesburg, 30 Mar 2004

Businesses today need to work faster and particularly smarter if they want to stay ahead of the game. Spending more time on business drivers such as customer satisfaction and innovation and less time on micro management is key in this demanding environment. It is with this in mind that business leader Internet Solutions has introduced the K2.net ASP licensed workflow solution.

Internet Solutions` (IS) Business Gateway division has successfully partnered with SourceCode to offer the K2.net licence on a more affordable ASP basis, as well as an additional offering on the .NET platform.

What does this mean for your business? Dennis Parker, MD of SourceCode, explains: "Well-defined business processes are at the core of agile and innovative organisations. Automating and digitising business process is imminent for all progressive businesses. The K2.net workflow engine has been specifically designed to allow customers to securely digitise existing manual processes using technologies they are familiar with today. For many organisations looking to automate their existing manual processes, a hosted solution makes great economic sense."

Having a robust and flexible workflow platform on which to run those processes is crucial to companies looking to outperform their competitors while optimising on costs. K2.net takes over the complexity of managing these processes and successfully automates all your business` workflow requirements.

As with the existing IS / Microsoft collaborations, the key to the success of the K2.net offering is its ease of use and competitive costing. Key features include:

* A powerful drag and drop workflow design environment linking people, applications and information into seamless automated business processes.
* Full Microsoft .Net support. K2.net 2003 was designed in .NET for .Net.
* Centralised server management tools.
* Real-time information.
* Flexible language options.

Alison Vorster, head of IS`s Business Gateway division, succinctly describes the K2.net offering as "a reliable and secure platform for human-to-human and human-to-system business processes. This is an effective systems management application that will add value to any business, from finance and banking to retail, healthcare and industrial sectors."

David Ives, Solution Sales Manager at Microsoft South Africa, comments: "K2 .net enables our partners to deliver business process management solutions on the .Net platform at an incredible pace. This partnership with Business Gateway leverages the extensive platform from Microsoft and delivers true value to our clients, optimising their core business processes and driving down inefficiencies existent in many organisations today."

Internet Solutions is consistent in its endeavours to provide scalable, flexible and cost-effective solutions to its clients. As the only provider of the K2.net licence and service on the ASP model in SA, the company has once again proved itself as the industry leader in innovation and customer service.
