Kofax Enhances the AI-Powered Document Intelligence and Low-Code Capabilities in its Intelligent Automation Platform, Accelerating Digital Workflow Transformation

New Release Focuses on Reducing the Time-to-Value and Improving the User Experience by Streamlining the Development and Deployment Solutions

IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kofax®, a leading supplier of Intelligent Automation software for digital workflow transformation, today announces a new release of its award-winning Intelligent Automation Platform. The new release accelerates organizations’ automation initiatives by streamlining the development and deployment of solutions with enhanced AI-powered document intelligence, low-code capabilities and simplified integration to third-party software applications.

In addition, Kofax’s Intelligent Automation Platform can now orchestrate and leverage its market-leading cognitive capture with Kofax’s RPA software as well as other leading third-party RPA products. Many customers use more than one RPA product but struggle to scale those solutions. Kofax customers can now use its market-leading cognitive capture and process orchestration to seamlessly govern and scale Kofax RPA and third-party RPA products, such those from UI Path™, Automation Anywhere™ and Blue Prism™.

“The major trends in automation are simplifying automation development and increasing the use of AI to broaden the automation opportunity,” says Maureen Fleming, Program Vice President of IDC’s Intelligent Process Automation Research. “Beyond broadening automation, AI is also supplementing low code to make the development experience faster, easier and less expensive to build high value automation regardless of whether development is handled by a professional or a citizen developer.”

“With the release of our next-generation Kofax Intelligent Automation Platform, Kofax is once again challenging the status quo. With the industry’s only truly integrated low-code, citizen developer-friendly platform, we’re making it easier for innovators to digitally transform the workflows that create business agility, resiliency and provide a competitive advantage,” says Chris Huff, Chief Strategy Officer at Kofax. “Our best-in class AI-powered Cognitive Capture helps customers solve business challenges like document classification, customer sentiment analysis and content extraction to achieve greater efficiencies and harness the value in documents, data and content to drive business transformation. By combining our platform with Kofax’s expanded global ecosystem, we’re helping customers rapidly automate work and connect systems, data and people through digital workflows allowing them to grow and scale to meet tomorrow’s needs.”
