Digital chooses Fenestrae as messaging partner

Johannesburg, 08 Jun 1998

Fenestrae has announced its alliance with Digital Equipment Corporation as a member of the company`s new Business Solutions for Exchange Programme. The new Digital programme leverages the integrated electronic messaging solution of Fenestrae`s Faxination with Digital`s successful enterprise mail and messaging program. The collaboration is a natural evolution to offer more solutions to IS managers in the burgeoning Microsoft Exchange-based market. Fenestrae is represented in South Africa by Windows NT software specialist Server Tools. "By adding Fenestrae`s robust messaging products to Digital`s messaging portfolio, we`re providing customers with a single messaging platform for all message types," says Jacqueline R Kahle, VP of Mail and Messaging at Digital. "Through our work with Fenestrae, we know our customers will benefit now from their tight integration with Exchange, and in the future with Fenestrae`s diverse messaging architecture." Faxination allows users to send and receive fax, mobile (pager and GSM) and telex message types from or within MS Exchange. The Exchange/Faxination combination enables a company to leverage its Exchange investment by enabling scalable solutions for current and future messaging needs. "Digital and Fenestrae have worked closely together in the past and we look forward to expanding that relationship as an integral part of Digital`s `Business Solutions for Exchange Program," says Greg Grant, Fenestrae`s director of marketing and business development. "We see this as a global opportunity to deliver seamlessly integrated messaging solutions to the most demanding enterprise Exchange customers." As partners the two companies will participate in joint testing, deployment and collaborative marketing efforts. These activities include performance testing and characterization engineering of products, joint-training programmes for sales and engineering staffs, trade show participation, and joint Web-based promotions. Fenestrae and Digital will also work together to develop sales literature, lead generation programms and joint demonstration materials. Faxination, based on Fenestrae`s True Integrated Messaging Concept (TIM), offers end-users a flexible messaging solution that requires no client software deployment. Fenestrae can incorporate emerging messaging technologies into its modular product design. This eliminates the need for different applications for each message type required across an enterprise.
