K2 also focuses on the growth of information, and how it has evolved from scarce to superabundant. “With the pace information, creation is changing right before our eyes,” van Wyk says. “We take imperative steps to unleash real knowledgeable value out of enormous volumes of records.” To achieve this, K2 provides cutting-edge methodologies for capturing and managing information assets in a way that helps enterprises sustain a competitive advantage.
The company’s business application platform, K2 blackpearl, assists enterprises in streamlining their content and crafting business applications, comprised of work-processes and structures covering different parts, divisions and information sources. The information demands are met through utilizing elements such as forms, workflow, data and reports to disseminate information so that the “right information reaches the right person.” These practices result in the promotion of optimal efficiency and judicious organizational decisions.

K2’s applications offer several other utilities, such as working for transactional systems, developing content with reference to contexts, and creating user interfaces. In addition, K2’s applications can be connected with existing SAP, Oracle, Dynamics CRM, and Salesforce systems to securely pull data from entire organizations, maintaining just one SOR (System of Record). “Moving on the lines of advanced applications, K2 also provides a cloud-based platform, Appit, that works equally well with on-premises SharePoint 2013 environment,” van Wyk says.
Utilizing these platforms’ dexterity, K2 has enabled hundreds of customers across many different verticals, including healthcare, legal, manufacturing, and finance, to gain significant benefits. For example, Shell, a global group of energy and petrochemical companies, capitalized upon the capabilities of K2 blackpearl to reduce costs and build workflows more quickly. In another instance, Island Savings, a Vancouverbased credit union, leveraged K2’s applications to streamline every aspect of their mortgage origination process. “We are focused on conducting great businesses,” van Wyk says of the future of K2. “Highly inspired by the uniqueness of the K2 Mountain, we strive to achieve similar kind of stature in the space of KM.”
