K2 for SharePoint helps organisations who want to create SharePoint-based business apps consisting of forms and workflows that combine information from line-of-business systems with SharePoint documents and lists. K2 apps have no boundaries, allowing organisations to build solutions that fit their specific needs no matter how complex.

5 EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE SOLUTION Drag-and-drop designers give users an easy way to build business applications that include forms, workflows and data access components. Applications can be built more quickly using features like auto-generated SharePoint forms that can be customised to look at certain way or to include data from other line-of-business systems. Enterprise-level workflow capabilities, like a rules and business logic framework and robust task management, allow you to build business apps, both inside and outside of SharePoint, that work the way you need them to all without the need to write a lot of custom code. End-users can use tools they re familiar with to get work done, even from a mobile phone or tablet. K2 s SmartObject framework gives you a flexible way to access data for all your business applications without writing custom code. Data access to your line-of-business systems can be configured once and used everywhere, providing your organization with a consistent way to work with data across disparate systems while still maintaining data integrity and security within each system.
