Kofax Releases New Version of RPA
Earlier this year, Kofax released a new version of its Robotic Process Automation software product, formerly known as Kapow. Kofax RPA 10.4 was released in late March. Here are some highlights and features of Kofax RPA 10.4:
Unified Design Environment
Leverage a single robot design studio that enables robot builders to visually recognize applications, screen areas and objects in real time as you are building the robot automation workflow.
Cognitive Document Automation
Apply powerful, AI-based cognitive intelligence to learn, process, and classify unstructured document data with Cognitive Document Automation. With our machine learning analysis, Kofax takes the guesswork out of complex document processing and dynamically adapts to your evolving content-heavy processes.
Built-In Analytics and Process Intelligence
Gain insight from out-of-the-box dashboards on robot operations and system performance; customize dashboards to analyze employee productivity and other key process elements; identify trends and improve processes over time.
Centralized Robot Deployment and Management
Deploy, manage and execute robots from a centralized server and communicate with applications running in a virtualized environment; concurrent running of robots enables superior performance and scalability.
Flexible, Scalable Deployment
Easily scale with a stateless, multi-threaded architecture that can be implemented as an on-premise enterprise deployment or provisioned in the cloud.
Robot Lifecycle Management
Integrated industry-standard based on Git Version Control System (VCS) for managing enterprise RPA robot deployments-from hundreds to thousands of RPA robots. VCS helps manage RPA robots, snippets, resources, and schedules, as well as synchronization between different source control repositories (e.g., dev, test and production environments).
Automated Process Discovery
Automated Process Discovery records, maps and analyzes targeted business processes, applications and actions, including human interactions via the desktop, and multiple internal and external business applications and reference sites. It provides insight into existing processes and tasks and helps to identify repetitive tasks that can be performed by RPA robots.
Multiple Data Sources and Types
Use robots to capture an image of a screen and dynamically locate and identify UI elements such as labels, buttons and text boxes within application environments like Citrix.
Intelligent Screen Automation
Automatically publish robots with a standard Java, .NET, SOAP and RESTful interface, which can be used to control robotic processes from external applications and remote systems.
Integrated Web Browser Engine
Delivers superior web application automation support and supports the execution of multiple robots concurrently on a server, versus requiring multiple virtual desktops and a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) to run.
Micro Apps Powered by Robots
Lightweight business applications called Kofax RPA Kapplets can be designed to execute robots based on set parameters or present data back to a business user.

What's New
Hyland Re-evaluates Support Lifecycle of Office and OnBase
In order to align Hyland's support of the Office platform with Microsoft's current roadmap, Hyland is re-evaluating the support lifecycle of Office and OnBase. In April of 2017, Microsoft announced
that mainstream support will be required for the Office platform to connect to Office 365 commercial services. Historically Hyland has supported versions of Office through extended support; however, with growing concerns regarding security and infrequent updates to software in extended support, they look to align support for Office products by ensuring that all OnBase integrations with Office products run on Office platforms that are still in mainstream support.
Timeline
Microsoft is scheduled to end mainstream support for
Office 2016
on
October 13, 2020
. After that point, the majority of customers will migrate to newer Office products in order to continue receiving security patches and new features. By staying in step with Microsoft's mainstream support timeline, we are also encouraging customers to move onto platforms that will receive security patches.
Products Impacted:
- Integration for Microsoft Outlook
- Office Business Application
- WorkView Integration for Outlook
- Document Composition template builder for 2016
- OnBase clients (Client, Unity, Web, etc.)
To continue to receive support, Office/Outlook products need to be on a supported version and the individual OnBase integration add-in software components need to be updated to function with the new version of Office. These add-in components will be available for download from the Hyland secure download site for the proper OnBase and Office version. The Office integrations version agnostic licensing changes make this transition much easier as the software will be available for whatever Office version is supported with your current version of OnBase.
(Support for Office also includes embedded viewing of Office documents and sending email using Outlook within OnBase clients. In order to continue to receive support, the Office products need to be on the supported version, but no additional software will be required.)
Licensing
Customers who currently use the OnBase Integration for Outlook and/or Office Business Applications
DO NOT
have to purchase new licenses for the Office version to which they upgrade, as the version-specific licensing has been eliminated
Be sure you're getting the most out of your OnBase system by keeping it up to date, learning more about it, managing conflicts, tuning and/or engaging All Star's
Managed Services team to help.
