If there is a desire to extract text from emails, documents, spreadsheets, and faxes this is the perfect platform for that. The only thing it does, extracting information, it does well. External information in terms of flat files, databases, and web services can be tied into the platform as well to allow line item matching, address validation, and other features that make it just an overall great ingestion system.

• One of the things we relied on Kofax was its connector with Oracle UCM and Filenet. It was easy to configure batch classes and set up release scripts to UCM or Filent
• One other aspect of it was validation scripts based on external Oracle databases. It was very helpful.
• After removal of dongle, it became easier to maintain the software.

• Although the back-end of the application is very strong, if it can have a visual workflow for defining tasks like scanning, verification and etc., it will be better.
• Reporting feature should be enhance more on web
• Although the result of Arabic Text extraction is very good in ABBYY, if they can focus more on different types of Arabic Fonts, it will be better

• Kofax Capture's interface is antiquated and could use a refresh. An attempt was made two versions back to add ribbons and modernize the interface but anything below the first level looks and feels like a tired application.
• Bugs that have existed in the platform for years are still prevalent and there is no priority to fix them. Features and critical bugs are regularly fixed but simple nagging ones that can cause a development project to close and lose all work is commonplace.
• Licensing, while reasonable for lower volume solutions, becomes expensive once a project reaches a certain threshold. Ensure future planning capacity is done before purchasing to make sure it's a cost effective solution.

We have selected it because it is having very strong OCR Engine. Also, AI-based features like machine learning for the training of batches are a strong feature in ABBYY FlexiCapture. Also, it has the ability to export data into SharePoint and other ECM systems like M-Files. Also, the automatic classification feature for batches is another feature that was the reason for choosing this product.

Kofax Capture was less expensive than the IBM product and was easier to use than both IBM and Amazon in my opinion. The unlimited scripting of Kofax Capture allowed us to fully integrate the tool into our business processes to improve our automation and reduce errors. We also looked at a product from Nuance but at the time decided to eliminate it from our evaluation.

• It has eased the scanning operation and reduced the overall time
• Automatic indexing created the good impacted on ROI
• But it only required the specialized IT Admin to maintain the system

• We were able to decrease personnel expenditures as there was not a need for individuals to index documents prior to incorporating them into the record.
