What's New
The Importance of Knowledge Base Maintenance With Kofax Transformation Modules (KTM)
Is your system extracting data as well as it should?
Kofax KTM is designed to learn and get better with each invoice that is processed through it. It is a learning-based system that gets better based on the corrections the users make in validation. But there's a catch! Conflicts are generated when a user captures data (lasso) from an area that is different than how the invoice was originally trained. When this happens, a "conflict" is sent to KTM online learning where a trained administrator must review the conflict and decide which one is correct. This happens on all fields that are set to "automatic learning" and as a result, the online learning database can become large and fill up quickly. In addition, conflicts lower the field confidence which results in users taking longer to validate documents. If the records are not reviewed and conflicts resolved on a regular basis, the system simply stops learning when the maximum number of records is reached. In addition to conflicts, newly trained documents are added to the online learning. They also must be reviewed and tuned accordingly for optimal performance.
Unfortunately, many users don't take the time necessary to learn, maintain and continue to tune the KTM system for optimal extraction performance. The KTM Project Builder has built in tools for doing analysis called benchmarking, where adjustments can be made and tested to validate results prior to implementation in production. Maintenance and tuning are key to attaining efficient extracting results, driving down costs and speeding document processing time.
At All Star Software Systems, we train all our Kofax customers how to do this and encourage them to be self-sufficient. In addition to the training we offer, Kofax offers a 5-day, self-paced KTM course that will help users get the most out of their KTM system. We realize our customers are busy and may not have the time or skill set to take on this task, and for this reason, we also offer this as part of one of our
managed services offerings.
The productivity gains of an efficient KTM system will easily outweigh any costs related to managed services. Check out our web site for details!
Be sure you're getting the most out of your KTM system by keeping it up to date, learning more about it, managing conflicts, tuning and/or engaging our
Managed Services team to help.
