\"K2<\/p>\n

K2, a leading provider of workflow automation and Business Process Management (BPM) solutions, announced<\/a> new features and functionality focused on enabling a simpler way for non-technical resources to build business apps on the K2 platform. Additionally, the company released an updated version of K2 Five with all the features that had been released to K2 Cloud last year.<\/p>\n

Because many businesses today are facing the task of getting more done, with less resources, organizations are looking to broaden the types of resources that are used to solve technical business problems. In order to do that,\u00a0K2 believes that business application development must become easier.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order for less-technical resources to be able to build technical solutions to business problems, we must make interacting with our platform, particularly in the building and design phase, very simple,\u201d said Olaf Wagner, K2 co-founder and senior vice president of product and engineering. \u201cMost professional developers are able to debug issues in design and configuration on the fly, often with other tools they already use. SmartAssist fills that gap for non-professional developers that need a little extra assistance as they\u2019re building. It not only provides warnings, but it also surfaces best-practice guidance that is displayed as part of the workflow design environment, ensuring that best practices are followed regardless of technical ability.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of its Intelligent Workflow initiative, K2\u00a0has extended its SmartAssist capability<\/a>\u00a0by adding warning badges and infinite workflow loop detection. Warning badges will let an application builder know of potential configuration problems in the workflow that need to be reviewed before deploying, to ensure it will behave as intended. Infinite workflow loop detection is a specific warning badge, that notifies the builder that the Workflow Designer has detected an infinite loop in the design and configuration. This gives the builder an opportunity to apply a fix, if necessary, before deploying in a production environment.<\/p>\n

The update also includes improvements to the App Workspace and the App Wizard user interface to simplify the platform\u2019s experience across design and run-time. This new design makes it easier to manage existing applications as the updated interface surfaces management tasks like security and configuration options in an easy-to-use interface that is digestible for non-technical users.<\/p>\n

K2 also released an\u00a0updated version of K2 Five<\/a>, which brings features that have been released to K2 Cloud since the launch last fall, on-premises. This includes the addition of App Wizard to K2 Five, which had been a feature unique to K2 Cloud until now.<\/p>\n
