Kofax Announces Document Scan Server

Kofax announced Kofax Document Scan Server. Organizationscan now add scanning capabilities to any enterprise business applicationwithout the need for additional software or disruption of their currentbusiness process.

   Document Scan Server was created to addressthe growing need for organizations to digitally capture documents at the pointof entry into their business process. Previously, a solution of this kindrequired specialized software and drivers to be installed on each computer,which can lead to increased administrative.

   Document Scan Server offers the followingthree major features: A Software Development Kit (SDK), a simple appliance, anda Management Console. The SDK leverages Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) toallow a developer to integrate scanning into an existing or new application nomatter the operating system or programming language. This services-baseddocument integration provides a tighter integration of scanning to a core application.In addition, adding scanning capabilities to an existing application is lessdisruptive to a user s existing workflow and allows for a more efficient andeffective business processes.

   Kofax Document Scan Server is an appliancethat includes a USB port for scanner connectivity and an Ethernet port thatconnects the scanner to a network. Users only need to plug the scanner into theUSB port in the Document Scan Server appliance and plug the Scan Serverappliance into the LAN. Because this is a hardware-based approach to scannerconnectivity, it is also more secure as administrator rights are not needed onthe PC to install drivers or document capture applications.

   Document Scan Server s Management Console is aWindows-based application that offers administrators the ability to remotelyaccess the functionality of any Document Scan Server that is connected to thenetwork (LAN or WAN) that is used for network discovery, configuration, andmanagement. Through this centralized console, administrators can configure multipleDocument Scan Server appliances and can push out firmware updates and newdrivers to keep them up to date. Plus, new users and user profiles can be setup and shared with other Scan Servers on the network. The Management Consolecan also remotely diagnose and grant access to user statistics and logs toproactively manage capture hardware.
