“Kofax Express 2.0 reflects our ongoing commitment to invest heavily in document driven business process automation applications across all market segments, from basic image capture to advanced enterprise level solutions,” said Jim Nicol, Executive Vice President of Products at Kofax. “Demand for Kofax Express continues to accelerate, especially among small and mid sized organizations.

Automatic Image File Importing

Release 2.0 optimizes the FolderScan function, which allows the automatic import of image files (TIFF, PDF, JPG, and BMP) from a folder directly into Kofax Express, better enabling capture from sources such as MFPs, fax servers and saved images. This provides users with a time and cost saving single interface to their back end repository for images from all sources.

Improved PDF Support

Now supporting both PDF and PDF/A formats, Kofax Express 2.0’s compression maintains crisp, clear color images delivered in file sizes associated with black and white images, leading to quicker downstream processing and improved efficiencies. The software also extends its OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to expand its searchable PDF capabilities, allowing users to more easily and accurately search for data within PDF documents.

Advanced Database Support

Kofax Express 2.0 offers advanced database support capabilities. This includes the ability to connect to any ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) compliant repositories such as Microsoft Access, SQL Server or Oracle to instantly look up and then populate an index field value, thereby accelerating indexing tasks and improving accuracy. In addition, the software now features an export API that enables the creation of customized export connectors to virtually any repository, allowing users to increase efficiency while cost effectively leveraging existing infrastructure.
