About BroadVision 8.1
BroadVision 8.1 incorporates the K2 (Kona * Kukini) methodology, a rapid implementation paradigm that dramatically speeds up the application development lifecycle, resulting in significant productivity improvements for customers. To help its customers harness these benefits, BroadVision developed the K2 Methodology, or K2M[TM], based on best practices accumulated from the company's 14-plus years of e-business project experience. The methodology emphasizes a "time-boxed" approach, iterated throughout all phases of a project's lifecycle. It follows the 80-20 principle, replacing much of the effort expended on hard coding with simpler configuration and assembly of reusable Kona objects and Kukini patterns. Laborious coding, which represents 80 percent of the work, is delegated to "role players" - freeing high-end resources to focus on the inevitable, but more challenging, "one-off" programming tasks representing 20 percent of the work. Field implementations of K2M have demonstrated substantial time-to-market gains and convincing cost savings across a wide spectrum of e-business initiatives.
