Hello and welcome to another webinar. Wednesday. Today we are going to be talking about what’s new and Kofax ReadSoft Online, but before we do a few house cleaning items, first off, this webinar will be recorded and posted on our website and YouTube. We’re also going to send out a copy of this PowerPoint presentation to everyone that’s attended this meeting. If you have any questions during the presentation, please feel free to post those into the webinars screen to your right there and we’ll address those at the end.

And if you have any other ideas for future topics, we’d be happy to know. So other than that, let’s get started. So, we have a few other upcoming webinars that we want to make you guys aware of. We have one on Infor document management, IDM for CloudSuite that one…is going to be in December, December 11 and we’re also going to be talking about automation solutions for payroll. More specifically talking about how you can leverage different types of form technologies to kind of enhance and automate your payroll solutions. We have a few office hours coming up as well. We have one for perceptive experience coming up next week on November 15th and another one on ImageNow tasks in December that I’ll be presenting on.
