Kofax has launched software to integrate its enterprise capture platform with internet browser based, portal applications.

Kofax’s DotImage Enterprise Edition is designed to extend enterprise capture solutions beyond firewalls to include line of business applications accessible via the web to the point where information originates, adding document scanning, viewing, annotating and processing capabilities.

Kofax gives an example in processing a mortgage application. Most lenders now allow prospective borrowers to apply for mortgages online but that process is typically not capture enabled. Applicants must provide paper copies of documents evidencing their proof of identity, income and other supporting information to the lender for processing.

By capture enabling a lender’s portal applications,, applicants are instead able to scan those paper documents and submit all information electronically, thereby eliminating paper from the process.

“Kofax DotImage Enterprise Edition demonstrates our commitment to providing software that supports the objectives of improving customer service and satisfaction by delivering user centric initiatives and self-service models,” said Martyn Christian, Chief Marketing Officer at Kofax.

“By extending our capture platform directly to the user, businesses can better leverage capture enabled BPM solutions that automate critical business processes throughout the enterprise and deliver a faster return on investment.”
