IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 28, 2013--
Kofax(R) plc (LSE: KFX), a leading provider of smart process applications for the business critical First Mile(TM) of customer interactions, today announced its innovative insurance claims processing solution is available for demonstration as part of an engagement at Microsoft Technology Centers worldwide.
The Kofax TotalAgility(TM) demonstration shows customers how Kofax software interacts with Microsoft's Windows Azure cloud platform to quickly build, deploy and manage smart process applications illustrated through an insurance claims processing example. The demonstration also shows how Kofax software interacts with the Microsoft enterprise stack (Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Lync, Microsoft Exchange, and Microsoft Office 365). More importantly, it shows how Kofax's and Microsoft's technologies work together to help insurance professionals increase productivity, eliminate time consuming data entry, reduce costs, speed claims processing, reduce errors and improve control and compliance.
"Millions of businesses across the globe rely on Microsoft to help run their businesses," said Howard Dratler, Executive Vice President of Field Operations at Kofax. "While the initial Kofax application demonstrated in Microsoft Technology Centers is for insurance claims processing, Kofax TotalAgility is a powerful solution for information-intensive processes in every industry."
"Kofax continues to demonstrate its commitment to the Microsoft community with TotalAgility, the first BPM and case management platform hosted on Windows Azure," said Kim Akers, general manager, Microsoft Corp.
The Microsoft Technology Centers are collaborative environments in 31 major cities around the world that provide access to innovative technologies and world-class expertise, enabling customers to envision, design, and deploy solutions to meet their needs. These centers offer a broad collection of resources in one place - software, hardware and services, plus Microsoft and partner expertise - and a testing environment where customers can see their desired solutions before deploying them in the enterprise. The goal of the Microsoft Technology Centers is to help customers gain maximum value from Microsoft and partner technologies, visualize solutions, reduce development time and cut the costs of putting a solution to work.
Kofax TotalAgility provides a process and dynamic case management solution that enables greater organizational agility through better management of processes. More efficient, flexible and better executed business processes mean lower costs plus greater and earlier return on investment for organizations. TotalAgility provides capabilities for process design, automation, simulation, workflow control for managing human tasks, integration tools for linking business applications (ECM, CRM, email) to processes and business rules. TotalAgility can be delivered on premise via a perpetual license model with a one-time license fee and annual maintenance fees, or as a cloud-based SaaS (software-as-a-service) subscription model hosted on Windows Azure.
