SourceCode 'BlackPearl' to Aid Deployment of Applications

(SourceCode), the creator of the K2.net Enterprise Workflow Platform, has released the first beta of the new version of K2.net, codenamed 'BlackPearl'. The complete commercial version is expected to be released in early 2007.

K2.net 'BlackPearl' is a new vision for the needs of the Business Process Management (BPM) space. Dennis Parker, President K2.net, said, "K2.net 'BlackPearl' is the culmination of three years of development and will form the platform on which we will launch our next generation process management platform."

According to the company, built on .NET 3.0, K2.net 'BlackPearl' provides a set of design experiences tailored for broad participation in the creation and deployment of process based applications. These experiences are surfaced in familiar tools that include Microsoft Visio, a web browser, and Visual Studio.NET 2005. Users have the ability to create, store, reuse, report on and personalise their experience to meet their individual needs.

Through the 'SmartObjects' and 'SmartFunctions' features in the platform, users are able to access and take action on information stored across legacy informational silos without having to understand where the information lives or how to retrieve it, the company said.
