What Qualifications Do Professional Services Group members have?

All Professional Services Group consultants and project managers have earned the Certified Document Imaging Architechs (CDIA+) credential, demonstrating their expertise in the document imaging field. They are fully trained on the latest releases of Ascent platform products, as well as complementary technologies. Professional Services Group consultants work only on Ascent platform assignments, so no time is lost getting up to speed on the product.

Why Not Just Use My Own Staff Or Other Local Resources?

Installing a complete document management or workflow system can be a monumental undertaking. Often, this is a time-sensitive, mission-critical project that must work flawlessly.  With so much at stake, it makes sense to rely on the expertise your Kofax authorized reseller can provide in implementing complex solutions.

However, sometimes these projects are so involved that the Ascent platform component may represent just a small part of the total solution. The reseller may find it has its hands full just with the complexities of the document management or workflow software. In cases like these, many resellers rely on Professional Services Group to handle the Ascent portion of the project.

Because Professional Services Group has performed hundreds of custom Ascent implementations, it’s likely we’ve already worked on projects similar to yours. By reusing code and techniques developed previously, Professional Services Group can save money while getting your Ascent software into operation sooner. And Professional Services Group guarantees its work.

What Does It Cost? What Size Jobs Will You Take?

Professional Services Group charges $1,500 per day for a consultant, and $1,800 per day for a project manager.

The minimum length of an engagement is three days. However, we recommend a minimum allocation of five days for a new system’s needs analysis, design, implementation and user training. Because we may share duties with the reseller, please work with them for a more accurate estimate of the length of Professional Services Group’s involvement.

How Can I Get A Quote For A Project?

Please work with your authorized Kofax reseller. Let them know you would welcome Professional Services Group’s involvement in your implementation. We will work with them to provide an estimate and, if chosen for the assignment, deliver not just quality software, but also the finest document imaging consulting available.
