Kofax, which has 25 people in Australia and sells its systems directly and with systems integrators, has also installed systems in banks including the NAB and ANZ according to Mr Christian. He said that in the past information capture had been something of a 'blind spot for many business process owners,' but he said a survey that the company commissioned mid-year found that more than half of the companies surveyed were working on the area currently.

Kofax systems are designed to capture, classify, separate and extract data, validate it and then communicate it directly into applications such as ERP or CRM. Where decreed by the system rules established by the end user, the information can be automatically routed to an application, or verified by an employee first.

The company is currently prototyping an iPhone application which will allow information captured on an iPhone - including photographs of bills for example - to be collated through the Kofax system. Mr Christian said that would be available in the middle of next year.
