Lexmark expands robotic process automation capabilities
Lexmark International has released Kofax Kapow 10 for robotic process automation (RPA) projects aimed at automating the labour -intensive processing of digital information.
According to the Institute for Robotic Process Automation, “Any company that uses labour on a large scale for general knowledge process work, where people are performing high-volume, highly transactional process functions, will boost their capabilities and save money and time with robotic process automation software.”
Kofax Kapow robots automate the acquisition, transformation and processing of information – from Web sites, portals, internal systems, including enterprise software and desktop applications, and a number of other information sources. Kofax Kapow robots can be implemented without complex coding or lengthy development cycles, which dramatically expedites project deployments and speeds ROI.
Kofax Kapow 10 adds a number of RPA enhancements to Kapow’s existing capabilities:
- Robots can now be designed to automate legacy mainframe application tasks directly, via new built-in native mainframe terminal connectivity, or via existing integrations with terminal emulator interfaces such as those from Attachmate, Rumba, and Rocket Software.
- Kapow robots can interact with business applications, including Windows, Java, and Flash, and common enterprise applications such as Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft Dynamics.
- Enhanced queueing improves communication and orchestration of thousands of enterprise software robots between servers, websites, portals, and remote and virtualized desktops.
Kapow is currently deployed at hundreds of organizations across most industries and markets.
By automating repetitive but essential tasks, Kofax Kapow software advances digital transformation initiatives to deliver immediate impact to business operations and accelerate new business opportunities.
Kofax Kapow is a powerful standalone solution that is also seamlessly integrated with Kofax TotalAgility, the smart process application platform. TotalAgility includes multichannel capture, process management, information integration, mobility, e-signature, customer communications management and analytics capabilities. The platform simplifies and transforms processes to reduce operating costs, improve responsiveness and ensure compliance.
“The rise of Robotic Process Automation has generated an increasing level of interest in our Kapow solution from both new prospects and existing customers. These organizations understand the value of automating routine activities at scale with little or no human involvement,” said Reynolds C. Bish, vice president of Lexmark and president of Lexmark Enterprise Software.
“With Kapow, companies can leave mundane repetitive tasks to software robots and free up workers to focus on higher value goals – like providing better customer service – that are best handled with a human touch.”
