The latest model of K2.Net is the BlackPearl. The upcoming release of K2 “BlackPearl” includes a set of tools that enable a new generation of users to collaboratively assemble dynamic business applications from reusable items.
The K2.net “BlackPearl” platform provides for full life-cycle analysis and development of your business solutions.Its unique modeling experience supports multiple, interchangeable modeling canvases (Process Design, role-based, documentation-based, and custom) and modeling tools (Office-style Windows application, Ajax-based web application, Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft Visio 2007).K2.net “BlackPearl” ensures that the core process definition is the same regardless of the canvas or tool used to model the process by abstracting the view information from the process definition.The result is a solution platform that allows each participant to have the process modeling experience, regardless of the role (business user, developer, administrator, etc), to use the modeling canvas and tool with which they are most comfortable.
K2 “BlackPearl” will also include the following
- K2 “BlackPearl” Event Bus
- Simulation Modules
- ADO.NET Data Provider for K2 "Black Pearl"
- New data level security modules
- Process Inheritance
- Visual Process Debugging
- Visual Data Mapping
The K2.net “BlackPearl” process modeling life cycle will likely involve multiple participants using multiple modeling canvases from multiple modeling tools while all remaining in sync and producing a common process definition output.The K2.net “BlackPearl” Studio environment allows the designer to model the process using the view paradigm that works for them.K2.net “BlackPearl” will provide an impressive array of designers for developers, business analysts and all designers in between.
K2 is still a workflow product (now built on top of Microsoft’s Workflow Foundation), but it also becomes a true BPM platform, something the old version was not. K2 is also strong as an Enterprise Application Integration platform (leveraging the new BizTalk/.NET Adapter Framework built on Windows Communication Framework). K2 is also an Application Server with strong support for rapid application development (leveraging SOA standards and principles, SQL Server, the .Net Framework, Visual Studio, and the Office Platform). So it is a complete application server and development platform with a strong workflow engine at its core, and a very flexible integration platform built-in.
K2 BlackPearl provides multiple design tools that allow all stakeholders to actively participate in the creation of dynamic business applications.Any one can participate in the design and creation of processes,reports,forms and policies and use what’s been built to rapidly assemble applications to help them drive their business.
