Irvine Ranch Water District

Water Utlity

Situation: The accounts payable department already had an invoice capture solution, which was Kofax Ascent Capture v7.5 and Xtrata Pro v4. Installed Kofax Capture v10.2 and KTM v6.1 and upgraded the existing batch classes to newest versions of Kofax software. The Xtrata invoice project was not able to be upgraded, so a new KTM invoice project was built to replicate the existing functionality. Additionally IRWD was migrating their Webdocs from iSeries to Windows, so a new custom export connector was created for Webdocs for Windows.

LeasePlan USA

Fleet Management Company

The Project: LeasePlan was using IBM’s ImageWorkstation Program (IWPM) to scan images for the Accounts Payable department into an IBM WAF/400 system. They wanted to migrate the WAF/400 5.3 system to a IBM Content manager 5.3 iSeries system. This required migrating the WAF data into CM data within the database. Additionally all the custom programming (COBOL/400) that was using WAF APIs needed to be converted to CM APIs. Some new workbasket functions had to be created to replace WAF and IWPM scanning components.

The Result:

Replaced IWPM (no longer supported) scanning with Kofax Capture Migrated data and images from WAF400 to CM400 Workbasket user interfaces were kept as close as possible to original WAF functionality Technology Solutions: Kofax Capture, COBOL/400, IBM Content Manager for iSeries

Staffing Augmentation Company

The Project: TRC staffing had a customized Ascent Capture system build with version 7.5 and written in VB6. Since Ascent Capture 7.5 was no onger supported, nor was VB6, the company needed to upgrade. They decided to upgrade all the software components and upgrade the PC hardware at the same time. This meant going from WIN XP to WIN8 workstations and from WIN2003 to WIN2012 for the server. Additionally we upgraded all the custom code from VB6 to VS2010 (.NET4 framework). Kofax Capture was upgraded to version 10.1. Virtual rescan software upgraded to v5.1 Elite.

Catholic Life Insurance

Life Insurance

The Challenge: Catholic Life wanted to image their large paper file room to provide for disaster recovery and utilize the office space consumed by file folders. Eventually workflow will be implemented to streamline the process of their electronic documents. In addition, they wanted to provide the reports generated by their iSeries (i5/AS400) application electronically instead of on paper. The reports would be available in the electronic archive and available to users via the intranet and eventually the internet. They decided to implement a new IBM Content Manager Enterprise Edition 8.3 for Multiplatforms document management system for their policy documents and an IBM OnDemand 8.3 for Multiplatforms for their system generated reports.

The Result:

Installed and configured Ascent Capture 7.5. Created new Ascent Capture batch classes to handle the back file folder scanning, and the newly created documents. Installed and configured IBM DB2 Content Manager Enterprise Edition 8.3 for Windows. Created required item types and setup appropriate user security. Provide training for users.

Installed and configured IBM DB2 Ondemand 8.3 for Windows. Created required report applications and setup appropriate user security. Provide training for users. Created interface process between iSeries reports and windows server.

Service Bureau

Situation: Iron Mountain runs a very large North American customized scanning bureau. They were running Kofax Capture 7.5 SP7 in a Kofax Capture Network Server configuration. Over 45 remote sites with 20 central site servers. Their system provided many release scripts to various repositories.

This project entailed supporting the many clients’ new batch classes or modifications to existing batch classes. As one of several Kofax administrators, keeping all batch classes to standards was critical. Custom scripting was required for many batch classes.

Virginia Retirement System

Retiree Services

The Challenge: IBM announced that WAF/400 would no longer be supported. This required the migration of a custom WAF/400 application to a custom iSeries Content Manager application preserving the same functionality. Additionally, due to aging optical drives, there was a requirement to convert the long term document archive from optical units with a QDLS file system to a direct storage access device document archive with a QOPENSYS file system.

The Result:

Converted custom application code from WAF400 to iSeries Content manager in 5 months. Replace the IWPM image view with the CM image viewer. Implemented Ascent Capture to replace an IWPM document capture solution. Software VRS assisted in better scanned images for difficult documents like birth and marriage certificates.

The Challenge: ITT was implementing SAP on an iSeries (AS400) to consolidate their 22 Accounts Payables departments. They needed to scan the invoices and have them available in SAP for viewing.

The Result:

Ascent Capture 7.0 installed in client server configuration for two scan stations. Ascent Capture released documents along with some data fields using the Commonstore release script into IBM Content Manager. Content Manager and Commonstore where configured to pass a “link” to SAP for the documents in Content Manager. The payables clerks could then pull up images from the payables process as needed.

Susquehanna Bank

Regional Bank

The Project: Susquehanna Bank had stored iSeries (AS400) reports (both SCS and AFPDS) directly from the iSeries into OnDemand (RDARS)for many years. They had scanned documents with Kofax Capture and released them into OnDemand using ANYSTORE. The bank had acquired a new Synergy platform for storing reports and documents. In order to allow the users to search for their new documents and historical documents in just one repository, they needed the historical reports extracted along with any associated meta data and migrated to the new Synergy platform modules.

This project entailed building a custom migration process to satisfy the bank’s operational requirements as well as the technical requirements of the Synergy “ingestion” specifications. The AFP reports were extracted and converted to PDF format. The SCS and AFP reports needed a customized banner page added that contained indexing information for the report module. The extracted files were placed on the iSeries IFS from which a java utility copied these to a storage server for FTP to Synergy platform.

The Result:

Utility to migrate SCS & AFP reports by optical platter Utility to migrate TIFF documents by RDARS report ID Technology Solutions: iSeries CLP, RPGLE, SQL custom programming, iSeries Infoprint, RDARS APIs, XML, java utilities

ODS Health Companies

Health Insurance Services

The Challenge: ODS was implementing a new claims system along with a partial migration of images from their IBM WAF/400 document management system to a new IBM Content Manager 8.3 for Multiplatforms document management system. They were using both IWPM and Ascent Capture 5.5 to scan their insurance claims forms. This required an update to the current version of Ascent Capture and new batch classes to replace the IWPM scanning and indexing functionality of WAF400.

The Result:

Upgraded Ascent Capture 5.5 to version 7.0. Created new Ascent Capture batch classes to handle WAF file cabinet scan and index functions to replace IWPM scanning. Created a custom release script that would release the document and index data to either a custom XML file or to the normal WAF400 environment. The release was conditional upon an index data field. Replaced a limited statistics gathering Excel spreadsheet with the Kofax Statistics report modules to provide a fuller analysis of the entire Ascent Capture process.

Create new user exits in WAF400 to re-queue the documents based on index data passed from Ascent Capture.
