• Announced an agreement to sell Kofax's hardware business, which is expected to close during March of 2011

• Introduced new releases of Kofax VirtualReScan and Kofax Communication Server
• Appointed Martyn Christian as Kofax's Chief Marketing Officer

Reynolds C. Bish, Chief Executive Officer of Kofax said: "The first half of fiscal year 2011 yielded exceptional results. The performance in our software business exceeded our expectations and last month we were pleased to announce the pending disposal of our hardware business. Both of these achievements position us to better focus on and further grow our software business revenues and earnings both organically and via our acquisition strategy."

Commenting on Kofax's outlook, Bish said: "We believe we've built a strong foundation for our software business but plan to make further investments to grow this business during the second half of this fiscal year. We also believe that the global economic environment continues to be fragile and the extent and sustainability of any recovery is still difficult to predict. Our enthusiasm therefore remains cautiously optimistic and, as a result, management and the Board now expect our software business revenues to grow by approximately 14% on an organic, constant currency basis during this current fiscal year."

He continued: "Finally, we've previously said we would expect to eventually achieve a 15% EBITA margin in our software business. In light of the adjusted EBITA margin realized in this business during the first half of this fiscal year and the recently announced restructuring to further optimize this business in EMEA, we have now raised our longer term, sustainable target closer to a 20% margin."

Kofax Extends Enterprise Capture Platform with New Capabilities

Hyland Software takes its case-based process management abilities to another level with new OnBase 10.0

December 07, 2010

10.0 further positions enterprise content management (ECM) solution as foundation for case management

CLEVELAND – Dec. 7, 2010 – What do managing patient records and handling insurance claims have in common? Both are case-based processes, meaning that they are long and complex, involving numerous people, types of content and processes. And, lately, the market is paying more attention to them as many scattered systems are causing inefficiency and adding complexity for organizations worldwide. So what’s the answer? For Hyland Software, it’s always been a specific set of ECMcapabilities nuanced according to the industry process being managed. To add to its existing capabilities to deliver this, Hyland, an ECM market leader according to a leading analyst firm, has released the new OnBase 10.0.

“Our customers have known that it’s not only about the content. It’s about the context in which the content is used,” said Bill Filion, vice president of development for Hyland Software. “This is exactly the idea behind the now popular term ‘case management.’ It’s a way of thinking about information management that we believe has its foundation on ECM capabilities like the ones we’ve been proven to offer.

“With this release, we honed and added to our existing abilities, bringing together these core ECM functions, such as document imaging, with elements of business process management, collaboration and records management. The result is an end-to-end document management and process management suite that answers the growing demand for managing case-based processes.”

To expand its current case management capabilities, the main focus of the OnBase 10.0 solution is the new client. It adds significant changes including:

• Ease of use: The client is built on Windows Presentation Foundation, offering a familiar, Windows-based look and feel. This makes it more intuitive for users by creating consistency with their desktop productivity tools. The result is better user adoption and more efficient use.
• More flexible system administration: As organizations are dealing with frequent internal and external changes, their IT systems must be able to adapt to these time-sensitive issues quickly. With a revamped back-end architecture, OnBase 10.0 offers the most up-to-date product platform with which to build timely solutions to solve business-specific problems. 
• Accommodating multiple types of IT environments: Based on an organization’s given needs, some IT systems might be Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based, some on-premise and some even needing to work offline. OnBase 10.0’s new client architecture meets the needs of all these scenarios, making the solution easier for IT to manage.

In addition to the client, OnBase 10.0 extends its case management capabilities with new products, including:

• Intelligent Automated Indexing: Using a learning engine, this tool allows documents to be indexed without human intervention or preconfigured templates. With this capability, documents and other content can kick-off processes with little to no lag time, getting the case moving as soon as possible. Especially when it comes to government social work and healthcare patient records, the time savings could be critical.
• Business process and notation modeler: The tool supports creating and editing of process models, along with versioning and approval of other supporting processes. This promotes more effective, consistent processes across an organization.
• Site Provisioning for SharePoint: Not every process is built around a document. This capability ensures that if a collaborative SharePoint site is built as part of the process, it’s created automatically within an OnBase workflow associated with the case, keeping the site structure and content consistent across the system.
• Comprehensive full-text search with Autonomy IDOL integration: For users, oftentimes those in customer service departments, this allows them to get information to the customer, patient or citizen when it’s needed within the case.
• Integration for Microsoft Outlook 2010: For those employees who need OnBase capabilities, but only occasionally, they’re able to get the tools they need, including document retrieval, archiving and workflow, directly through Outlook. This allows people to stay within the interfaces they’re accustomed to, but at the same time making sure they use the right tools to complete case-based processes.

Hyland Software named a Leader in Leading Analyst Firm Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Content Management, 2010

November 19, 2010

OnBase developer becomes a new kind of leader through clear direction, continuous improvement and customer focus

CLEVELAND – Nov. 19, 2010 – Stay disciplined and focus on what you do best. Through its 20-year history, that’s been Hyland’s mantra. And in Gartner, Inc.’s Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Content Management*, 2010, it paid off – Hyland Software has been recognized as a “Leader.”

“To us, product vision isn’t only about what you choose to do. It’s just as much about what you choose not to do,” said A.J. Hyland, president and CEO of Hyland Software. “This approach defines Hyland as a new kind of leader in the market. Because of it, we’re uniquely equipped to deliver value to our customers through relevant, enterprise-class solutions. And now, this recognition affirms that this kind of focus is part of what makes a respected and established market leader.”

Hyland maintains clear direction and continues to provide value to the market. Through a never-broken chain of product support and continuous, customer-driven product innovation, Hyland delivers on its culture of “customer first.” The foundation of its product, OnBase, centers on automating business processes that depend on documents, content and people to operate more effectively. By focusing on these specific ECM capabilities, Hyland is different than other vendors who try to be all ECM things to all people.

In the ECM market, Hyland differentiates itself by:

• Offering both on-premise and proven software as a service (SaaS) solutions. Compared to 2009, Hyland’s total SaaS and hosted revenue is projected to grow 288 percent. These solutions are currently offered across five continents.
• Creating products that scale upward and downward in scope, performance and sophistication. The OnBase solution is used successfully in both small organizations, like home healthcare facilities, as well as multinational, disparate healthcare systems.
• Building a solution designed to be completely configurable. OnBase continues to deliver more out-of-the-box functionality, requiring less customization and cost, than is typically found with other ECM technologies.
• Delivering an enterprise approach with a solution that can be deployed one department at a time. The result is that customers receive a vision for growth through a low risk strategy, proving value and return on the investment.

“We feel that being recognized as a leader in our market affirms that we’ve met the needs of today’s organizations. It also signifies that there are new challenges ahead for us. The market is changing, and we are prepared to address these new demands while staying true to our core values and responsibility to our customers,” said Hyland.

Document Capture Analyst Confirms Kofax's Increasing Global Market Share

Harvey Spencer Associates Names Kofax as the Leader in Both the Image and Transaction Capture Segments

IRVINE, CA, AUGUST 24, 2010 – Kofax plc (LSE: KFX), the leading provider of document driven business process automation solutions, today announced that a new report issued by Harvey Spencer Associates, an independent analyst and research firm, confirms that the company increased its overall share of the capture software and services market to 11 percent during 2009, an increase from 10 percent in the previous year. The report, entitled “The 2010-11 Worldwide Market for Document Capture Software”, projects that this market will expand from $2 billion in 2009 to over $3 billion in 2013, a compound annual growth rate of almost 11 percent. The report also confirmed that Kofax maintained its dominant leadership position in the “Image Capture” segment and, for the first time, named the company as the leader in the “Transaction Capture” segment.

In the Image Capture segment, defined as scanning, indexing and then exporting document images and index data, the report cites Kofax as having a 25 percent market share, more than eight percentage points higher than its nearest competitor. In the Transaction Capture segment, defined as scanning, classifying, and extracting critical business data and then exporting document images and data to downstream business processes, the report names Kofax as the leader with almost a 13 percent market share. These two segments comprise the “enterprise” segments and account for more than 64 percent of the overall market.

“Kofax gained market share, which was impressive considering that the company now derives over 40 percent of its revenues from direct sales, which do not gross up as much as indirect sales in our model. The company turned around a difficult first half of the year and, helped by the 170 Systems acquisition, strongly increased its revenue in the second half,” said Harvey Spencer, Principal of Harvey Spencer Associates. “More significantly, Kofax has started to leverage its user base to successfully move into the higher value transaction capture segment and enterprise sales through augmenting its channel with a direct sales force and focusing more on solutions rather than technology.”

“Kofax’s continued dominance in Image Capture, our new leadership position in Transaction Capture, and our increasing overall market share serve to reinforce our enterprise capture strategy, and that the breadth and depth of our product portfolio is meeting the needs of the market,” said Martyn Christian, Kofax’s Chief Marketing Officer. “The proven capabilities and scalability of our solutions, the global reach of our sales and support operations, and our financial strength and stability have positioned Kofax for continued success now and in the future.”

Founded in 1989, Harvey Spencer Associates, Inc. is a New York-based analyst and consulting firm specializing in document scanning and capture software solutions. Mr. Spencer has extensive background in the information technology industry gained from over 40 years as an end user, VAR, manufacturer and consultant.

Hyland Software’s transactional content capabilities with the collaborative technologies of Microsoft power more efficient business processes

CLEVELAND – May 13, 2010 – Hyland supports Microsoft platforms, like SharePoint Server and Office, as they are the foundation of many organizations’ processes. Staff turns to these technologies first to create, collaborate on and share content. So making them the gateway for users to access enterprise applications, such as transactional enterprise content management(ECM), only makes sense. This allows employees to stay more involved with processes, such as those in accounts payable and human resources. And, they’re more likely to do so because they can access them through the Microsoft tools they use every day. To amplify the combined power of collaborative and transactional ECM, Hyland Software has extended its OnBase integrations with Microsoft technologies, including the new Microsoft® SharePoint® Server 2010 and Microsoft® Office 2010.

“Microsoft products play a strategic role in most companies’ IT structures,” said A.J. Hyland, president and CEO of Hyland Software. “It’s why, for the past two decades, Hyland has positioned OnBase with Microsoft technologies. Now, we have many packaged integrations for SharePointServer 2010 and Office 2010. The result is that organizations can have all the ECM capabilities they need from just two vendors.”

Here are a few benefits of Hyland Software’s alignment of OnBase with Microsoft technologies:

• Promotes adoption and reduces training, because users can stay in programs with which they’re familiar
• Allows more people to participate in document-driven transactional processes, ultimately increasing productivity
• Eases integration because Hyland is experienced in the .NET Framework, and OnBase is based on it

“As organizations continue to build their IT foundations on Microsoft technologies, they also continue to explore ways of maximizing these investments by integrating with complex business processes,” said Ryan Duguid, senior product manager on the Enterprise Content Management Team at Microsoft Corp. “OnBase extends the reach of SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010 with vertical transactional content management and process automation applications, developed using the latest Microsoft technologies.”

Boost Your Business Efficiency with an A3-Size Compatible, High-Speed,
Fast-Feeding Scanner

The Panasonic KVS 5055C is the long awaited A3 scanner and the spiritual successor to the aged Panasonic KVS2065. Along with some now obligatory technologies including ultra sonic double feed detection and staple detection the unit also features some innovative design features including a double feed skip (DFS) key to allow operators to skip known double thickness documents such as envelopes.

Paper dust is a document scanners kryptonite. It is very difficult to manage and over time makes image quality poor, The clever folks at Panasonic have armed the KVS 5055c with the introduction of an Ion filled breeze which neutralises electrical charge on the paper reducing the amount of dust that collects on the scanner lens, a mechanical scanning glass brush further reduces paper dust accumulation on the glass which again improves image quality.

The scanner is due for launch in June 2010 with demonstration devices arriving in Late May. To register your interest in a demonstration and be one of the first to see the KVS5055, contact Twofold on 0118 9519 853 and we’ll be pleased to arrange this on your behalf.

Steve King joined Twofold this month from Kofax. Steve has many years of experience in the scanner marketplace and will be responsible for growing our user base as well as setting up a unique support contract for any users of scanners to benefit from. If your organisation uses scanners contact Steve on 0118 951 9800 to discuss the latest models and how our support contract can lower your costs and improve the levels of service.

Mr King said "I am really excited about joining Twofold, they already support over 3000 UK customers including over 90 of the FTSE 100 and nearly 1 in 2 Public Sector bodies. I want to offer this unique service to any users of scanners. I also want to share how scanners have changed lowering costs, carbon emissions and dramatically improving ease of use and operational efficiency".
