Integrated Business Process Management (BPM) and Enterprise Content Management (ECM) on the SharePoint platform is being targetted by an alliance between K2 and KnowledgeLake.

“Document management and business process management naturally go hand in hand together.” said Tom Postulka, Director of Business Development at KnowledgeLake.

“The benefits of using SharePoint for document management and imaging have a proven strong return in investment, but these benefits really accelerate when workflow is applied to document centric processes.”

Typical solutions include Accounts Payable, Employee Onboarding, Contract Management and Insurance Claims.

“We see significant adoption by customers around SharePoint as a content and application platform for a range of business critical applications,” Dave Marcus, K2’s VP of Global Alliances said. “When this happens, these customers expect to be able to deliver business solutions on this platform very quickly, be able to easily change and evolve these solutions as business needs change, while keeping lifecycle management costs as low as possible.”
