DICOM Group plc (LSE:DCM), a global leader of Intelligent Capture & Exchange solutions, today announced that it will change its name and adopt the Kofax® brand name worldwide across all of its subsidiaries. The decision was reached following the Extraordinary General Meeting that was held today.
Trading of the company’s shares on the London Stock Exchange under the name Kofax plc and with the new ticker symbol “KFX” will commence as soon as possible. For investor relations information, please continue to reference: http://www.investor.dicomgroup.com until further notice. The ISIN number for the company’s shares will remain unchanged as well.
“The decision to unify our corporate brand under Kofax supports our continued effort to eliminate confusion between the disparate brands that have been associated with our company as a result of growth and acquisitions,” said Reynolds C. Bish, chief executive officer. “Kofax has a strong reputation for quality and innovation among our customers, partners and the industry-at-large, and we are committed to providing solutions that automate document-driven business processes in a more accurate, timely and cost-effective manner.”
The company’s decision to unify its corporate brand supports an earlier announcement in April 2007 when it unveiled a simplified product branding architecture to unify its diverse product portfolio under Kofax Intelligent Capture & Exchange. Together, these initiatives will help to strengthen Kofax’s existing and new strategic relationships – more than 1,200 Kofax Certified Solution Providers (CSPs) and 10,000 customers worldwide – underscoring its leadership and 20-year track record of success in the software capture market.
“We think the rebrand makes good sense: the company has tremendous brand equity in the Kofax name," said Melissa Webster, Program VP at IDC. “The rollout of Kofax Intelligent Capture & Exchange last year has further enhanced Kofax's position in the rapidly growing capture and image management segment of the content management market.”
During the next several months, Kofax will work on gradually updating all marketing, sales and product information to reflect the new unified corporate brand. The separate Kofax and DICOM Web sites will remain in the interim to ensure that partners, customers and shareholders have immediate access to all necessary resources.
