Kofax acquires Kapow Technolgies

Kofax has purchased data integration provider Kapow Technologies in a move the company says will dramatically simplify its ability to integrate smart process applications with third-party software for content import and export purposes, as well as data validation during a business process.

Kofax further believes the acquisition significantly increases its ability to penetrate the emerging electronic content transformation segment of the multichannel capture market. The company adds the deal is highly complementary to the recent acquisition of Altosoft’s business intelligence and analytics products.

Kapow Katalyst is data integration software that provides near real-time application integration and process automation offering both traditional API-level integration capabilities as well as an innovative Synthetic API approach, which gives business users a “point and click, no coding” approach. The resulting data integration modules can then be deployed via Kapow Kapplets, lightweight apps instantly accessible on a self-service basis, according to Kapow.
