If you work in an organisation which finds itself in a situation where it has a number of process oriented custom developed applications which are causing you headaches, please read on.
Chances are these applications mainly grew in response to business needs which could not be easily and quickly addressed by your enterprise or line-of-business applications, due to the costly and time consuming nature of customising often inherently inflexible systems. Resultingly, many organisations are struggling with issues related to these applications, such as:
* Difficulty retaining people with the relevant skills and know-how needed to perform maintenance and customisation.
* Limited ability to integrate with other applications.
* Increasing maintenance and upkeep costs due to customisations.
* Migration pains whenever upgrades to the software or their environments are required.
* Challenges building new applications quickly and cost effectively while catering for a rapidly changing environment.
With the abovementioned issues in mind, it's fairly obvious that a change is required in the way these applications are built. Unlike their legacy and enterprise application ancestors, modern process oriented applications need to be quickly adaptable, cost effective, standardised and user focused. Most industry insiders agree that software in the future will mostly consist of fast, flexible applications that deliver solutions to business people, as opposed to technical people. Simply put, smart process applications.
K2 can transform the way you build process applications, ensuring you deliver smart process applications for the future by:
* Providing you with the tools and "out of the box" functionality needed to save you time through simplifying the building process.
* Leveraging the power of existing investments without the pains of custom software development.
* Allowing for rapid and collaborative development of process driven solutions that are highly customisable, with better user satisfaction and adoption.
* Enabling seamless integration with existing applications and access to their underlying data sources, whether on-premises or in the cloud.
* Allowing you to build business applications that deliver information and capability in context of business users.
* Making delivery of solutions easy - whether the user is remote or onsite, accessing business data from a mobile device or tablet, information can be served up and acted upon in real time.
* Helping you monitor and learn more about the effectiveness of your applications and how to optimise and improve them going forward.
* Allowing you to consolidate the skills required to build and maintain, thereby simplifying related migrations or upgrades.
"Investing in a platform like K2 is critical for South African businesses," says Simon Hepburn, Director. "I see a lot of IT people struggling to deliver smart process applications while business ends up frustrated. It's time to effect a change and deliver what business wants, in budget and on time."
