The Journey So Far – Recent and Future Changes • General strategy to productised services – Software as a service models • Move towards offsite processing – Kofax is an enabler. • Move to virtual “multifunction” servers • Standardisation across the board – templates for code (logging, field names), documentation, processes. • Trend towards email ingestion away from traditional scanning – 50+ mailboxes • Need for detailed monitoring & reconciliation > Kofax Monitor – KCAR – Supplemental Tables – Firescope • Reporting important to show benefits and drive further improvements • Point of Origination Strategy – MFD’s, Web Capture & Mobile POC
Offsite Process Facilitation • Paperless Office • Work from home • Offshore / Partnering • Kofax enabling features: • Batch Splitting / Routing • KTM Validation 2 • Sticky Notes • Batch Filtering
Batch Splitting & Document Routing • Introduced in KTM 5.0 • Benefits • Straight Through Processing Path • Reduce delays in processing • Ability to move documents to correct process • Ability to move documents to Validation 2. • Change batch name • Challenges • Reporting and auditing is complicated • Keeping track of child batches – (naming conventions may help)
Sticky Notes • Stores transient information • Note data is not available during export pXDoc.Annotations.ItemByIndex(lngIndex).Text • Application level events Application_AnnotationCreated() Application_AnnotationSaved()
Batch Filtering • Great tool for work assignment • Can only use each filter criteria once • Tip: Develop a good batch naming convention
Web Portal • Upload documents to the cloud • Kofax Transformation Toolkit - processes the documents • Business Rules executed • Rule Validation Results returned to end user
Web Capture - Video • The following video was produced as part of a proof of concept of web based capture • Kofax KTT technology is used to allow extraction from a mortgage application form • Business advantage – external brokers able to verify application form before submitting • Avoid lost time in rework • Allow SLAs with better confidence levels • POC by
Other Point of Origination Initiatives • MFD Integration • MFDs used to capture documents into Kofax in Bank branches and Office locations • Currently upgrading to KFS v4 (with better notifications, reporting, monitoring) • Two applications using KFS, another two underway (insurance claims, mortgage applications, customer on-boarding, contract management) • Kofax Mobile • POC underway with Kofax Mobile sdk (‘Fedex Day’ in March) • Pilot project likely in 2013
Kofax Software As A Service • Redaction on Demand • Sensitive customer data (eg: Social Security Numbers, Credit Card Numbers) • Benefits across the enterprise – costs of manual redaction - legislative requirements • CaptureLink, Simple Fax, Scan, Email to FileNet • Email Ingestion > Basic Metadata Added > Export to FileNet • Searchable PDF • Email Ingestion > Full Text OCR > Attach PDF to Email • Benefits • Generic, re-usable components • Low cost to add new business users • Encourages consistency • Shared services – cost economies • Future Enhancements • Extra input channels (MFD, mobile) • Better reporting, dashboards, support • Simple model to add new users, email addresses etc
