Support After You Buy

The support you receive will depend upon the Kofax product you purchased and the functionality you are using. The information below contains details regarding the after sales support available.


Kofax Supported Products

Kofax Capture Products

The Capture product line is sold through a Value Added Reseller channel. Kofax refers to these resellers as Certified Solution Providers or CSPs.  In addition to selling, installing and configuring Capture products, the CSP's role also includes providing post sales technical support. 

Kofax recommends that end users with Capture products should contact their CSPs who are trained and prepared to assist with any technical issues that arise during or after implementation.  The CSP is a better source of support for end users because they have knowledge of the customer environment, additional system components and applications, can offer customization and integration services and provide on-site service.   If you are a customer and need more information on who your CSP is so that you can obtain technical support, please contact Kofax Inside Sales Support.  They can assist you in determining which CSP you should be contacting for support. Or, if you know who your CSP is and are not happy with the support you are receiving, please contact Kofax Inside Sales Support to discuss options.
