Alfresco Export Connector
Enterprise-class document management at a fraction of the cost
Alfresco is an open source document management system. It is positioned as a single unified repository to manage any content – Documents, Images, Video and Audio.
With the CaptureBites™ Alfresco Export connector, it is possible to scan batches of documents, automatically index them with bar codes or OCR and export the documents as TIFF, PDF, PDF/A or super compressed PDF into Alfresco.
You can map Kofax index fields with Alfresco content type specific properties and / or Alfresco Aspects (global properties).
The connector is compatible with Alfresco Community and Alfresco Content Services Enterprise Edition.
Alfresco setup screen
After connecting to an Alfresco server and selecting a Destination Repository, Kofax index fields can easily be mapped with Alfresco’s standard or custom Properties or Aspects. Alfresco properties are specific to a content type, while Aspects are global and can be associated with any Alfresco content type.
