Visioneer Announces Certification of Patriot 470 Scanner on Kofax Document Scan Server.

PLEASANTON, Calif. -- Visioneer, Inc., a leader in intelligent imaging solutions, today announced that its Patriot 470 scanner has been certified on Kofax's Document Scan Server and will be giving demonstrations of the new solution at the ECM West Conference and Expo at its booth #516, November 6-8, 2006, in San Jose, CA.

The Visioneer Patriot 470 workgroup scanner was certified by Kofax for support by the Document Scan Server, which allows organizations to digitally capture documents at the point of entry into their business process.

"With the integration of this completely unique solution, a company can now scan-enable any existing application without an increase in IT administrative costs or the need to add additional pieces of software to their computer system," says Doug Rudolph, vice president of business development and OEM sales at Kofax. "We are thrilled that Visioneer now supports the Kofax Document Scan Server. We believe that ROI will be seen by our joint customers much faster as the Document Scan Server reduces deployment, support and training costs across the board with minimal disruption to the existing IT environment."

Previously, a solution of this kind required specialized software and drivers to be installed on each computer. This method commonly leads to increased administrative costs because IT staff must set up administrative rights, train workers on the new software application and perform timely remote updates and troubleshooting.

"The Document Scan Server is an innovative technology solution that makes scanning a service that IT is comfortable with by leveraging SOA and reducing deployment, support and training costs across the board with minimal disruption to the IT environment," said John Capurso, vice president of marketing, Visioneer, Inc. "Extending support to the Visioneer Patriot 470 enables hi-speed duplex scanning at 33 ppm and 66 ipm at best-in-class price/performance point. It further underscores the commitment and partnership of Kofax and Visioneer as we collaborate to bring leading document imaging solutions to market. We are delighted to be working with Kofax on yet another strategic initiative."

The Kofax Document Scan Server offers the following three major features: a Software Development Kit (SDK), a simple appliance and a centralized Management Console. First, the Software Development Kit leverages Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) to allow a developer to integrate scanning into an existing or new application no matter the operating system or programming language.

This services-based document integration provides a tighter integration of scanning to a core application. In addition, adding scanning capabilities to an existing application is less disruptive to a user's existing workflow and allows for more efficient and effective business processes.
