Getting information out of faxed documents is often a painful, manual process. It requires perpetually more staff to scale, and is prone to simple yet costly mistakes.
Manual data extraction is no way to scale.
The Kofax Import Connector replaces human effort with automated data extraction.
As an extension of Kofax Capture™ (a trademark of Kofax Inc.), the Import Connector turns digital documents into consistent, consolidated information. It also works seamlessly with RightFax and Private Fax Cloud® to automate document workflows from end to end.
These days, that's not just an advantage. It's a necessity.
The vast majority of manual data/document capture comes from a handful of sources.
Whatever the source, it almost universally requires extraction, classification, and/or routing. Various tools have long been able to handle certain combinations of sources and resulting processes. But using various tools also means various applications to support, vendors to manage, and data standards to navigate. Kofax Import Connector lets your consolidate all the above via Kofax Capture. That means:
A common challenge with fax is the mix of document qualities. Even if you've already digitized inbound faxes with RightFax, the fax images may contain a combination of computer text and handwriting. Kofax Capture finds, extracts, and even validates both sorts of text—not to mention other formats like check-boxes and even barcodes. By adding the Import Connector, documents go from RightFax images to their final repositories with little manual intervention, and often none at all.
If your organization has (or is planning for) RightFax and Kofax Capture, then you'll quickly increase the value of both systems by adding the Import Connector. It involves just two principal components:
But doing this effectively depends on proper RightFax configuration.
Technical implementation is part of that, of course, but nuanced capacity planning and workflow mapping may be even more critical.
For two decades, our team at Paperless Productivity® has helped forward-thinking organizations turn document processing from a burden into a competitive advantage.
Whether you're using the Import Connector to expand an existing RightFax-Kofax Capture solution, or beginning completely from scratch, we'll help you deliver robust automation with a compelling ROI.
