K2 Launches the Underground Community Site and Insiders Program

June 04, 2007

    REDMOND, Wash., June 4 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- K2 today
launched the Underground, http://www.k2underground.com , a
community-driven Web site designed to empower K2 users and
partners.

    "K2 built this site and will continue to support
it, but the Underground will really evolve at the direction
of our community," says Chris Geier, K2 global
evangelism program manager. "The users own it. In a
lot of ways, we are turning it over to them, and we are
sure there's great value in that."

    The new K2 software platform, codenamed
"BlackPearl," enables developers and business
users to use information that already exists within their
systems and processes that have already been built to
rapidly create flexible applications that span employees,
departments, organizations and line-of-business systems.

    The Underground gives new and experienced K2 users a
place to discuss ideas, ask questions and share solutions.
The site will feature blogs, forums, special interest
groups, articles, tips and more. The site will also host K2
calendars, events and user group information.

    "The Underground was established to give our
customer and partner community new ways to connect and
share so that those who have made an investment in K2 can
take it to the next level," Geier says.

    With the Underground launch, K2 also announced its
Insiders program. K2 Insiders, about 20 people chosen from
around the world based on their advanced K2 platform
expertise and historical work in the K2 community, will
drive much of the content on the Underground site. Insiders
are not K2 employees, but through their community
activities, they will help others solve problems, discover
new capabilities and get more value from their K2
deployments.

    K2 provides the platform for a new generation of users
to collaboratively assemble dynamic business applications
from reusable items. K2-based solutions are deployed by a
growing number of the global Fortune 100, and since the
release of its first software in 2000, K2 has helped
clients in more than 40 countries increase productivity. K2
is a business unit of SourceCode Technology Holdings, Inc.,
based in Redmond, Washington, and has offices all over the
world.
