Kofax Announces Front Office Server 3.0

(6th May 2010)

Kofax have launched Kofax Front Office Server 3.0, which is the latest version of its enterprise application that allows users to capture forms and documents at their points of origin through multi-function peripherals (MFPs), desktop scanners and other devices for accelerated processing through Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation Modules software.

Version 3.0 empowers users to scan and extract data from documents in a fast, efficient and more cost effective manner by directly integrating MFPs, desktop scanners and other devices into document driven business processes.

In addition, this new version allows the processing of emailed or faxed documents to be initiated from an MFP panel and receive the same administrative control options as documents sent to a business process. Such capabilities provide administrators with greater document control, visibility and traceability.

Jim Nicol, Executive Vice President of Products at Kofax commented

“Kofax Front Office Server 3.0 extends the power of our document automation solutions directly to distributed branch personnel and other remote users.

The software leverages Kofax’s enterprise level infrastructure, so our customers are able to maximize their document capture investment to further increase productivity and generate even faster paybacks.”

Single Platform System Management
Version 3.0 offers tighter integration with Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation Modules. As a result, centralised administration, export, validation scripting, user management and workflows can all be driven from a single platform. This allows customers to further extend their Kofax investment to MFPs, desktop scanners and other devices deployed throughout the enterprise quickly and efficiently, thereby improving productivity while reducing administrative development and support costs.

Thin Client Scanning
Kofax Front Office Server 3.0 offers a thin client scan application that supports scanning, image editing and document indexing, allowing users to initiate document driven processes directly from their browser. It also provides administrators with controls that enable interfaces and workflows to be personalised to specific users. This maximizes productivity and ensures data quality by managing user abilities to manage forms and documents.

Remote Support and Disaster Recovery
Release 3.0 is supported by Kofax’s existing enterprise level infrastructure that enables systems to be cost effectively deployed on an enterprise wide basis to remote locations with limited or restricted bandwidth. The software can also be supported by regional departmental installations, providing a disaster recovery backup system in the event that services from a primary central site are no longer available. This ensures that business critical operations continue and vital documents are protected without the risk of lost data.
