Nintex K2

Nintex K2 Consultancy for Existing Workflow Estates

Design, maintenance, integration and migration planning for established K2 workflow estates - helping organisations stabilise, extend or strategically assess their K2 investment.

The Challenge

Problems this service addresses

Maintenance Challenges

Established K2 estates have accumulated technical debt, making workflows difficult to maintain and modify without risk.

Integration Debt

K2 workflows were integrated with systems that have since changed, creating broken or fragile integration points.

Platform Uncertainty

Organisations are unsure whether to retain, upgrade or migrate away from K2, lacking a clear technical assessment to inform the decision.

Skills Scarcity

K2 expertise is increasingly difficult to find, creating key-person dependency and continuity risk for business-critical workflows.

On-Premise Constraints

On-premise K2 environments face infrastructure maintenance, security patching and scaling constraints.

Unclear Migration Path

Organisations considering migration to Power Automate lack a structured assessment of what is involved and what the risks are.

Business Outcomes

What you can expect

  • Stabilised K2 environments with clear maintenance and support practices

  • Informed decisions on retain, upgrade or migrate based on technical assessment

  • Remediated integration points connecting workflows to current enterprise systems

  • Reduced key-person dependency through documentation and knowledge transfer

  • Operational continuity maintained throughout any upgrade or migration

  • A clear migration roadmap if migration is the right decision - with phasing and risk mitigation

Engagement Scenarios

Typical situations we address

Stabilising a Critical Estate

An organisation with a large K2 estate needs maintenance, documentation and support practices to ensure business-critical workflows remain reliable.

Upgrade Assessment

An organisation on an older K2 version needs a technical assessment of what an upgrade involves, the risks and the recommended approach.

Strategic Migration Planning

An organisation is considering migrating K2 workflows to Power Automate and needs a structured assessment of feasibility, effort and risk.

Integration Remediation

K2 workflows have integration points that no longer work correctly after upstream system changes and need remediation.

Integration

Integration considerations

Oracle E-Business Suite
SQL Server and Azure SQL
SharePoint on-premise and online
SAP and other ERP platforms
Custom web services and APIs
Active Directory and identity systems

Governance & Security

Governance and security considerations

Operational Continuity

Any upgrade or migration is phased to maintain operational continuity, with rollback plans and parallel running where appropriate.

Risk Assessment

Migration and upgrade recommendations are based on a documented assessment of dependencies, risks and mitigations - not assumptions.

Documentation

Existing workflows are documented before any changes, ensuring knowledge is captured and transferable.

Delivery Approach

How we work

01

Assessment

Review the K2 estate - workflows, SmartObjects, integrations, infrastructure and operational dependencies.

02

Recommendation

Provide a documented recommendation: retain and stabilise, upgrade, migrate, or a phased combination.

03

Execution

Execute the agreed approach - maintenance, upgrade, migration or hybrid - with testing and continuity planning.

04

Handover

Transfer knowledge and documentation to internal teams with an ongoing support model.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you recommend migrating from K2 to Power Automate?
Not automatically. K2 remains a capable platform for complex workflows. The right decision depends on your specific estate, integration requirements, licensing, skills and strategic direction. We provide a technical assessment to help you make an informed decision - see our comparison article for more detail.
Can you support on-premise K2 environments?
Yes. We have experience with on-premise K2 environments, including K2 blackpearl and K2 Five. We understand the infrastructure, security and maintenance considerations specific to on-premise deployments.
How do you approach K2 migration assessments?
We review each workflow, its integrations, SmartObjects, forms and business criticality. We then assess migration feasibility, effort estimates, risk factors and recommend a phased approach where migration is appropriate.
Can you help maintain K2 workflows we built internally?
Yes. We frequently work with organisations that have internally-built K2 workflows needing maintenance, documentation, remediation or redesign. We can also provide knowledge transfer to upskill internal teams.
What if some workflows should stay on K2 and others migrate?
A hybrid approach is often the most pragmatic outcome. Some workflows are better retained on K2 (particularly complex, deeply-integrated ones), while others may be good candidates for Power Automate. We help you identify which is which.
