Kofax announces Front Office Server 3.0

IRVINE, CA: Kofax, a provider of document driven business process automation solutions, on Monday announced the general availability of Kofax Front Office Server 3.0, 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.

The solution enables front office and remote users to directly initiate document driven processes and workflows. It features tighter platform integration that extends users’ abilities by enabling workflow administration through Kofax Capture, thereby consolidating these capabilities on a single platform, and improving office automation through a unified system that is easy to use and deploy.

As a result, organizations can significantly improve the efficiency of document driven operations, speed processing times, reduce costs and enhance customer service, said a press release.

The new release 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, the 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.

“Kofax Front Office Server 3.0 extends the power of our document automation solutions directly to distributed branch personnel and other remote users,” said Jim Nicol, executive vice president of Products, Kofax.

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