Thin Client Indexing and Validation

Remote Validation

Customer Problem Perform data validation and

verification at a remote site to: Take advantage of lower labor costs Leverage local resource skills, e.g.

language capabilities Outsource data validation to field

agents

KCNS remote validation not cost effective if: Many smaller remote locations No local IT skills Changing locations

Solution: Thin Client Validation Thin client validation and

verification allows extracted data to be reviewed over the internet using a web browser

Customer benefit No local software install Lower deployment, support costs Rapid deployment

KTM Thin Client Validation Kofax Capture 10 users now have access to KTM’s Thin Client indexing and validation!

No local software to install and maintain Just open a browser and start entering data No longer need Citrix outside the firewall Lower TCO for remote and distributed capture

Easy-to-use UI designed for efficient data entry of dozens to hundreds of fields Configurable forms layout maximizes productivity for each form and each user Performance-optimized for data entry over the web

Configurable business rules drive process automation

Verification Vital when automatic validation not

possible

Three modes / use cases Confirm/edit existing data

Double-key data with cross check

Read-only verification

Customer benefit – reduce cost/delays due to downstream processing errors

Correction Boosts productivity for validation of

fixed form fields

Used to key single character OCR rejects, separately from Validation

Customer benefits: Increase productivity

Decrease keying cost

KTM Thin Client vs. KCNS Remote Client

• Use Thin Client Validation for:• Validation of many fields on a

document• Validation/verification only at

remote site – no scanning• Many smaller remote locations• When no local IT skills exist• Frequently changing locations• When LAN/WAN connection not

available

• Use KCNS Remote Client for:• Few fields to index• When scanning also done

remotely• Multiple central sites• When LAN/WAN connection is

available

Complement KCNS Remote Client!

Advanced Forms Processing

Handling Paper Forms Paper forms are still a fact of everyday life for

many organizations in many different industries Banking/finance - application forms, account

opening Government – tax forms, benefit forms Healthcare – claim forms, CMS-1500s, EOBs

Gathering data from paper forms and entering data it into line of business applications is a huge burden

18

Business Pains

• High labor costs

• Processing delays

• Legacy documents

• Errors

Automate with Advanced Forms Processing KTM can automate the extraction of data

from any form

Lower operational costs, speed processing, reduce errors

Ability to handle not just OCR-friendly forms, but legacy forms as well

Easy configuration of 100s of form types and revisions

19

Key elements

• Layout / barcode classification

• Automatic form clean-up

• Rapid forms definition

Layout and Barcode Classification Layout classification - removes the need for document sorting

Documents are delivered/scanned in unsorted batches Each document auto classified by layout or barcode – fast, no OCR

required! Automatic document rotation is performed during classification Documents are extracted using the correct classification for each layout

20

Layout and Barcode Classification Learn-by-example techniques make this simple to configure and

maintain:

Form Type A Form Type B rev 1

Form Type B rev 2

Form Type C Form Type D

2. Gather samples 4. Classify unknown documents

3. Train the system1. Understand the categories

Registration of reading zones

Background Removal

• Automatic registration of zones• No need for registration marks (esp. important for faxes)• Skew, stretch and shift are corrected up to 1 cm

• Zonal image pre-processing, background removal and character reconstruction• Auto-OMR thresholding for checkboxes• Learn-by-example system – no rules• Easy to train – only 5 samples required

Automatic Form Registration and Clean-UpTypical legacy form

- no dropout, not OCR optimized

Field Zone Definition

Rapid Forms Definition for Zonal Data Extraction Rapid forms definition – reduces set-up and maintenance costs

Definition of forms with approx 20 fields typically in <1 hour Copy settings in ‘blocks’ to accelerate configuration of similar

types/revisions

What KTM Features are included?

Frequently Asked Questions

This is just a license update to enable select KTM features. No KC software updates are required. Simply re-activate your KC license. You should see the “561” product code in your license.

Is this an update to the KC 10 product?

Frequently Asked Questions

You will see the KTM software in your product download area. Be sure to install both KTM 5.5 R2 and KTM 5.5.2.

How do I obtain the KTM software?

Frequently Asked Questions

After purchase of KTM, re-activate your license to enable all KTM features. Existing projects and configurations will remain in-tact, and you can add additional document types to the project.

What is involved in upgrading my KTM software to the full version?

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, KTM user stations consume KC station licenses, just like any KC user station would. You can run several KTM or KC modules on the same computer and require only one station license. However, a KC station license is needed for each KTM thin client in use.

With this KC 10 Update, do KTM user stations consume KC station

licenses?

Frequently Asked Questions

No KTM volume needs to be ordered – only KC page volume is tracked. If/when full KTM (and associated volume) is ordered, any forms-related processing will not be counted against full KTM page volume.

With this KC 10 Update, must KTM volume be ordered to process

pages through KTM?

Availability and Requirements Available Now

Requirements No-charge KC license activation or re-activation Installation of KC 10 and KTM 5.5 R2 & 5.5.2, including thin client server Creation of a KTM project Additional KC concurrent station licenses for KTM user stations, if necessary No additional KTM page volume required
