IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 23, 2003

Kofax, the world's largest information capture vendor, today announced that Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. is the first imaging company to integrate Kofax VirtualReScan (VRS) software across its entire enterprise scanner family.

After years of successfully integrating joint document imaging solutions, Kofax and Fujitsu will cooperatively deliver the latest version of VRS, Kofax's automated document image-perfecting software, across all levels of Fujitsu's "fi" series of scanners.

Fujitsu was the first vendor to offer Kofax VRS technology with its scanners and has since significantly deepened its partnership with the company. Now, Fujitsu will be the first vendor to offer VRS and Kofax Adrenaline 650i SCSI scanner connector boards with their scanning solutions in the workgroup, departmental, low-volume production and mid-volume production scanner categories.

Kofax's award-winning, patented, VRS technology sets the standard for document image processing and scanning productivity enabling customers to achieve high-quality document capture more efficiently and at lower cost.

"Our alliance with Fujitsu underscores our philosophy of providing the best document imaging solutions to our users and the channel," said Doug Rudolph, vice president of global sales for Kofax. "Kofax scanning technology has long been widely embraced by the imaging community. This integration with Fujitsu's entire fi product line will deliver exponential value to our joint customers."

Fujitsu's first scanner to integrate VRS and the Adrenaline 650i will be the fi-4860C, available in October. VRS field upgrade kits are available now for Fujitsu scanner models fi-4120C, fi-4220C, fi-4990C and fi-4860C.

"Fujitsu has, since the beginning, recognized the enormous capabilities that Kofax's VRS technology delivers to customers," said Don McMahan, vice president of sales for Fujitsu's Imaging Products Group. "VRS technology is clearly the standard for document image quality in all types of scanning environments and, just as Fujitsu's first VRS-equipped scanner raised the bar for the rest of the industry then, the new Fujitsu/Kofax partnership will do the same in 2003.

"By deepening our relationship and further integrating our offerings, both Kofax and Fujitsu reaffirm their leadership positions in the document imaging industry and, most important, bring an even greater array of world-class imaging solutions to market."
