K2 releases Blackpearl

K2 has launched Blackpearl, which is said to allow developers and business users to assemble, execute, monitor and optimize dynamic business applications that span employees, departments, organizations and line-of-business systems.

The offering includes business process management and workflow capabilities. Applications can be set up to automate and manage business processes--such as document approval or inventory tracking--or pull together business processes, people, services, information and systems into a single application that helps drive business. And once the applications are built, they can be modified with familiar Microsoft tools and environments.
