Kofax Integration with Alfresco?

[prof_1]

I'm working on Alfresco, and I would like to buy Kofax tool to add capturing documents feature to my system.

My Questions are:

1. The capturing tools from Kofax: "Kofax Express", "Kofax Capture", and "Kofax web capture" which one is integrated with Alfresco, or all?
2. "Kofax Express" is a desktop application?
3. I found the prices for just "Kofax Express", what are the prices for "Kofax Capture"?
4. The prices are per year or per PC?
5. The prices are depend on the scanner machine, what will happen for example if I buy Kofax for a Cannon scanner then I decided later to change my scanner machine, do I have to buy a totally new one to be integrated with my new machine?
6. I saw a video for the integration between Kofax and Alfresco, it seems that the Kofax tool is separated (there is no add-on included inside the Alfresco) and the integration is just the uploading documents from Kofax to Alfresco automatically, is that right?
7. Does "Kofax web capture" supports all features of "Kofax Express"?
8. Which one "Kofax Express" or "Kofax Capture" supports Arabic language, or both, and what are exactly the supported features for Arabic?


Thanks,

Hello,

I don't know the details for most of your questions, but

2) Yes, it is a desktop application
4) The prices are per seat / PC (last I checked)
6) The integration is just the uploading from Kofax to Alfresco.

Just an FYI: We have developed a scan integration directly into the Alfresco Share web user interface which does not require a desktop application, can use any TWAIN/ISIS scanner and supports concurrent user instead of per seat licensing. The feature set is not (yet) as extensive as Kofax but can easily be combined with existing, partly free addons from the Community or custom extensions. If you are interested, keep your eyes open for forthcomming infos about NABUCCO Alfresco Web Scan.

Axel

Hi ,

there is Kofax connector used for integration with  Alfresco . does that connector uploads  files ( by creating node in Alfresco ) with property & aspects  ?

We have Alfresco running on unix & Kofax on windows , will that make any difference  ?
