IRVINE, Calif. -- Kofax (LSE:DCM), the world's largest information capture vendor, today proudly announced that for the second consecutive year the company was named by KMWorld to its prestigious annual "100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management" list for 2005. Recognizing the top companies and technologies in content, document and knowledge management that provide true business solutions, the list was compiled through the publication's discussions with knowledge management (KM) practitioners, theorists, vendors, customers, analysts and editors.

According to Hugh McKellar, editor-in-chief of KMWorld, the "100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management" list was created to acknowledge those companies that enable organizations to accurately assess their information assets, then maximize their use and reuse in every conceivable manner that promotes sound business.

"The list was conceived as a way to identify some of the organizations leading the way in the knowledge economy," said McKellar. "The list is certainly not intended to be the final word on the member companies' contributions. Instead, it is designed to encourage a broader discussion of knowledge management and the leading players in the market. Criteria for inclusion varies, but each company has helped to create a market, redefine one or enhance one. In addition, every company on the list shares one thing in common: velocity of innovation."

"Kofax is proud to be recognized by KMWorld as one of the market leaders that is driving innovation and growth in the industry," said Rick Murphy, president and CEO of Kofax. "Recent product installations with several high-profile, large organizations illustrate how Kofax reduces the complexity and cost of information capture, and further enables our customers and partners to streamline their business processes and maximize productivity."
