Kofax Unveils New Release of its Document Exchange Server Software

(February 2009)

Kofax Document Exchange Server version 2.0 offers enhanced ease-of-use and enterprise-wide deployment capabilities and is an enterprise-ready solution that simplifies and accelerates document-driven business process automation by extending back-office capture to front-office environments.

The Document Exchange Server enables an organisation's customer-facing employees to capture documents in the front office, where they originate, via multi-function peripherals (MFPs), desktop scanners and fax machines. As a result, organisations can improve the efficiency of document-centric business processes, speed processing times, reduce operating costs and enhance customer service.

Kofax Document Exchange Server 2.0 includes new features that significantly enhance ease-of-use, ease-of-administration and performance including user interface enhancements that streamline functionality and improve accuracy as documents are processed as well as support for multiple languages.

Administration improvements include support for LDAP and Active Directory to ease configuration and improve security. For organisations that utilise WebLogic application servers and Oracle 10g database software, the release offers greater availability and scalability.

Along with these enhancements, the new software offers the ability to use TWAIN-based document scanners and includes a Web Services SDK to facilitate customized connections from other input sources.

Jim Nicol, Executive Vice President of Products at Kofax says:

“Kofax Document Exchange Server empowers front-office staff to easily initiate document-driven processes at a desktop scanner or MFP. This results in better, faster, less costly and more accurate document processing and allows employees to focus more time on vital customer-facing activities.”
