As requirements for companies to process paper documentation show no sign
of diminishing, organizations are seeking more efficient methods of
handling paper-based forms and documents. The Alfresco Kofax Release Script
allows companies using Kofax Capture to scan and process large volumes of
paper-based forms and documents, which are then stored in a central
Alfresco repository.
Micro Strategies' Alfresco Kofax Release Script enables data to be
extracted from paper forms, which the Alfresco ECM system uses to manage
documents through their lifecycle. This key data drives workflows and
ensures the right departments have access to the content.
The combination of Alfresco open source ECM and Kofax Capture will allow
companies to address their paper document processing requirements more
efficiently while dramatically reducing costs.
"Micro Strategies developed the integration between Kofax and Alfresco in
response to increasing demand for open source document management
solutions. By providing this script, we can now support user requirements
for high-volume document capture into Alfresco," commented Adam Storch,
Vice President, Business Solutions, Micro Strategies. "This solution will
enable Alfresco Enterprise subscription customers to take full advantage of
their Alfresco solution directly from within Kofax Capture."
"We're excited that our industry-leading capture technology has been
integrated with Alfresco's and our solution provider Micro Strategies'
unique offering," said Jim Nicol, Executive Vice President of Products at
Kofax. "The concept of open source systems has had a real impact on many
industries, and we recognize Alfresco and Micro Strategies as leaders in
the enterprise content management space."
The Alfresco Kofax Release Script has undergone certification by Alfresco
and is currently being beta-tested. Once testing is completed, it will be
available for download by Alfresco Enterprise subscription customers from
the Alfresco Network.
