IRVINE, Calif., Aug 07, 2013 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Kofax plc, a leading provider of smart process applications for the business critical First Mile(TM) of customer interactions, today announced that a major global bank selected a Kofax solution to process up to 300 million payment protection insurance claims per year. More than $400,000 has been invested to scan and extract data from documents residing on microfiche.
The bank is using a solution comprised of Kofax Capture(TM), Kofax's patented VRS technology and Kofax Transformation Modules(TM) to automate the scanning, image perfection, classification and data extraction. Kofax's software enables the bank to significantly speed processing while minimizing labor costs and helping to meet compliance requirements for archiving data.

"Kofax continues to be the leader of choice for automating the capture of critical information for the world's top banks. We help banks simplify and solve this common operational challenge so they can focus on their core business of serving the financial needs of their customers."
