Centravoice, the largest multi-vendor telecommunications distributor in sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian Ocean islands, and a member of the Centratel group of companies, has announced the availability of LightningFAX Enterprise Edition.
LightningFAX Enterprise Edition is the award-winning fax server software that empowers organisations with cost-effective desktop e-mail faxing and fax broadcasting.
"LightningFAX has many superb features," said Wernher Lotter, sales director for Centravoice. "One of the main features is that it boosts productivity by 90% over traditional manual faxing [1] since users no longer need to make time-consuming trips to the fax machine," said Lotter.
It consolidates fax hardware and analogue fax lines into a single system, enabling organisations to save thousands of rands a year.
In addition, it protects document privacy and facilitates compliance with regulations such as HIPAA and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. LightningFAX also routes sensitive documents in TIFF or PDF format via the security of VOIP networks and VPN encryption to approved recipients and designated secure printers.
LightningFAX easily integrates with existing databases, applications and groupware tools, even using existing directories and phone books. It boasts a robust multiple fax server architecture that allows organisations to add servers as they expand their organisation to different locations.
In addition, LightningFAX is noted for its reliability and has been implemented in mission-load balancing and failover support (using Windows clustering) and distributed processing are additional features of LightningFAX.
A host of administration features such as Batch Fax API, scripting support, billing codes and remote monitoring enable powerful control over transmission, logging, delivery and notification of faxes. Users can send individual faxes or fax broadcasts from their familiar e-mail programs, a Web interface, or the feature-rich LightningFAX SendFAX Client. Faxes can be sent immediately or scheduled.
Lotter says additional primary features include up to 120 fax channels per server; highly scalable multiserver architecture; support for G3 and G4 TIFF fax format; terminal services and Citrix MetaFrame support; network installation support with Windows Installer technology as well as Windows Roaming Profiles support.
LightningFAX Enterprise multiserver architecture can easily accept additional fax servers to accommodate any growth in fax volume. For IP networks, organisations can easily migrate to XMediusFAX, the market-leading boardless FOIP (fax over IP) software.
"LightningFAX's rapid, secure and reliable routing of faxes makes it the trusted choice for handling any fax volume. Document workflow is streamlined and privacy is improved, all while yielding significant ROI," concluded Lotter.
