Kofax Reseller Places Order To Meet Rapidly Growing Demand for Robotic Process Automation Solutions

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) January 18, 2018

Kofax®, a leading provider of software to simplify and transform the First Mile™ of business, today announced that a long term Kofax reseller has placed an order for $1.8M of Kofax Kapow™ to meet rapidly growing demand for robotic process automation (RPA) solutions from its end user customers, reinforcing Kofax’s declaration of 2018 as the Year of the Robot. This partner leverages Kapow software in its own market leading RPA solutions to mimic human actions and automate a wide range of manual, repetitive tasks, driving continuous improvement and significant cost savings for its customers. The partner cited Kofax’s commitment to ongoing innovation as a key driver for its use of Kapow over competitive offerings in the market.

With hundreds of thousands of Kapow software robots deployed at more than 550 enterprise customers, BPO providers and shared service organizations around the world, Kapow has enabled exceptional results by driving better operational efficiency, customer responsiveness, compliance and cost savings. Kapow’s automation capabilities are being leveraged across a wide range of use cases and industries including customer and employee onboarding, banking, insurance, supply chain, logistics, finance, accounting, marketing, and customer service.

Unlike other RPA software, Kapow's unique architecture runs all robots on a centralized server and does not require a virtual desktop infrastructure. These smart robots interact seamlessly with applications, aggregating data, transforming it into actionable information, trigger responses, and communicating across enterprise systems, web sites and desktop applications. Kapow robots can be implemented without complex coding or lengthy development cycles, which speeds project deployments and increases ROIs.

“Kofax is proud of our global reseller partners and their success in the RPA market, as evidenced by this order,” said Reynolds C. Bish, Chief Executive Officer of Kofax. “We’ve been working with this reseller for years to deliver RPA software that enhances their own solution and provides them with significant competitive advantage. Our flexibility, collaborative approach and sustained innovation put Kapow head and shoulders above other RPA products and poise Kofax for success in 2018.”

The neurodevelopment diagnostic division of Stemina Biomarker Discovery has validated 12 metabolic subtypes of autism spectrum disorder. The diagnostic blood test for ASD will be available later this year.

MADISON, Wis. (PRWEB) January 18, 2018

NeuroPointDX, the neurological disorders division of Stemina Biomarker Discovery, announced today that it has validated a first-generation autism diagnostic blood test panel in the Children’s Autism Metabolome Project (CAMP), its clinical study. The study has enrolled 1,100 children, age 18-48 months, over the course of two years. CAMP is the largest study ever conducted that examines the metabolism of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

“We’re so proud of the work our eight clinical sites have done to recruit very young children and their families to participate in CAMP. This tightly-designed study requires a first-of-the-morning blood draw, behavior and cognitive assessment, and medical examination. The quality of the work done at these sites deserves recognition.” said Elizabeth Donley, NeuroPointDX’s CEO.

NeuroPointDX’s first-generation autism diagnostic blood test was validated using patient samples from the $6 million CAMP study. “A manuscript is in progress and will be submitted to a peer-reviewed scientific journal by the end of January,” said Donley. “It is not an exaggeration to say that NeuroPointDX will revolutionize diagnosis and precision medicine. By identifying imbalances in the patient’s metabolism, we can diagnose neurological disorders and identify targeted treatments. These interventions may be as simple as modifying diet or dietary supplements, or as complex as developing new drugs to correct the imbalance.”

The test will be available this year and delivered by Stemina’s CLIA laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin. Families of children with suspected developmental delay are encouraged to ask their pediatrician about NeuroPointDX’s ASD panel once the test becomes available.

“Much like cancer consists of many distinct types, neurological disorders like autism can be best understood by looking at how an individual child’s symptoms present and what exacerbates them. Our research shows that how some children process certain amino acids can tell us a lot about how to help that child thrive. We have validated 12 metabolic subtypes of ASD, which together account for approximately 30% of children with autism, in our first-generation panel,” Donley said. “This is just the beginning of what we expect to learn from the CAMP study. This is an historic moment, not just for Stemina and NeuroPointDX, but for our knowledge and understanding of autism.”

Stemina was awarded a $2.7 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in August 2015 to support the CAMP study. The study is also supported by a $3.8 million investment from the Nancy Lurie Marks Family Foundation (NLMFF). The clinical sites are the MIND Institute at the University of California-Davis, Arkansas Children’s Hospital Research Institute in Little Rock, Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, the Melmed Center in Phoenix, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and the Lurie Center at Massachusetts General Hospital in Lexington.

To support CAMP and the company’s commercialization of this revolutionary diagnostic blood test for autism, NeuroPointDX is launching a crowdfunding campaign, called Providing Children with an Earlier, More Precise Autism Diagnosis, on Experiment.com. “We want to raise a minimum of $50,000, with the option to create stretch goals once that amount is reached,” said Donley. “If we publish the data but never bring the test to market, it won’t help one single child or family living with autism.” To learn more or donate, visit neuropointdx.com.
