Leave Kofax. Keep the capture.
Kofax (now Tungsten Automation) pairs RPA with document capture and OCR — priced by robot, by page, and by module. We rebuild capture and automation on open OCR plus your own models.

Why teams leave Kofax
The four reasons we hear most often.
Reason 01
RPA + Capture + OCR, each metered
Robots are licensed per bot, capture is priced per page/volume, and TotalAgility sits on top. The three meters together are the real cost.
Reason 02
Rebrands and shifting pricing
Kofax → Tungsten Automation is the latest rename in a long line. Product names, packaging, and quotes shift; transparency doesn't improve.
Reason 03
Module sprawl
Capture, Transformation, RPA, Process Director, SignDoc — value is spread across modules you license separately.
Reason 04
Aging stack, partner-led
Much of the platform is mature/legacy and deployed via partners. The maintenance retainer is the recurring line item.
The math
What Kofax actually costs.
Public list pricing plus the add-ons most teams end up buying. Implementation and admin overhead extra.
| Line item | Cost |
|---|---|
RPA robot | $7,000 / bot / yr |
Capture / OCR volume-tiered | per-page |
TotalAgility platform | $$ module |
Partner implementation year one | $100–250K |
| Real all-in | ~$12,000 effective per bot / yr, all-in |
What we migrate
Every record.
Every field.
Specifically, from Tungsten Automation (Kofax). Nothing is left behind to "migrate later."
- RPA robots and tasks
- Capture profiles and document classes
- Transformation / extraction rules
- OCR templates and validation logic
- TotalAgility process flows
- Integrations to ECM / line-of-business systems
- Audit and retention requirements
Our recommendation
Replace Kofax with A bespoke automation.
Kofax is fundamentally a document pipeline, so we rebuild it as one you own: open-source OCR (Tesseract/PaddleOCR) plus modern IDP via your own LLM keys for classification and extraction, a human-in-the-loop validation app, and Temporal orchestration. RPA steps run via Python/Playwright. No per-page meter, no module sprawl — and you can audit every extraction.
Not the right fit?
We also build fully bespoke automations, deploy Robot Framework / n8n / Temporal to other estates, and integrate with whatever you're keeping. The audit covers the choice.
