Its deployment uses the strength of K2, where the internal IT department implements a large part of its administration and development on its own.

The use of workflow processes to monitor and automate selected company processes and managerial overviews and reports brought great help. It was the flexibility and the ability to customize K2 with its own people that made it possible to capture the significant specifics of this traditional Czech brand.
