On-premises / self-hosted deployment
Nintex Automation K2
K2 is built for organizations that can’t compromise on control. Whether you deploy on-premises, in a private cloud, or in a managed environment, K2 gives you a single orchestration layer to coordinate workflows, applications, and decisions across your business — without moving your data or breaking your architecture.
Workflow
Orchestrate how work actually gets done
Most enterprise work doesn’t live in a single system, and it doesn’t follow a straight line. K2 orchestrates complex, multi-step processes across systems, people, and decisions. It gives you the control layer between inputs and outcomes — where work is routed, exceptions are handled, and accountability is enforced. With built-in AI capabilities for on-premises environments, K2 lets you introduce intelligence into workflows without compromising governance or data sovereignty.
Application development
Turn workflows into real applications
Automation only delivers value when people can interact with it. K2 enables you to build applications that sit on top of your workflows: connecting systems, guiding users, and driving consistent execution. You can design, deploy, and evolve solutions without rebuilding your architecture. The result: faster delivery, less dependency on custom development, and applications that reflect how your business operates.
Governance
Control your workflows and protect your data
Governance isn’t a layer you add after the fact—it defines what’s possible from the start. K2 embeds governance directly into workflows, ensuring every action is traceable, every decision is controlled, and every process aligns with your policies. With full control over infrastructure, identity, and data flow, you can meet strict regulatory requirements while still modernizing how work gets done.
