IP communication technologies are growing at an incredible rate and are fast becoming the de facto in the electronic document delivery realm. Several business trends are driving this growth, including decreasing costs for IP networks, an increasingly mobile workforce and a focus on a reliable, interoperable and streamlined communication.
Galdon Data director Sebastian Wade says as fax-over-IP technologies advance, organisations of all sizes can adopt a unified communication strategy and benefit by consolidating a fax server system into their IP communications backbone.
“By enabling users to send faxes over any IP-based network, fax-over-IP is positioned to leverage infrastructure investments and reduce costs by consolidating and simplifying network and equipment management. The result is a centralised and standardised system for handling business processes, applications and communication.”
The adoption of fax in a converged IP environment can eliminate or reduce analogue and ISDN lines, leading to additional cost savings. An effective fax-over-IP solution that integrates with IP network gateways or a unified communications environment will also speed return on investment in IP equipment and VOIP applications.
The network-based fax server application is the true engine behind enterprise-wide electronic document delivery. The fax server acts as a centralised hub for securely and cost-effectively exchanging all types of documents. It captures business documents from a variety of desktop or back-office applications and applies rules for processing, formatting, tracking and delivering them over a telephone system.
Wade says by using RightFax, companies can securely and efficiently deliver business information from virtually any application via fax, e-mail, print devices or over the Internet. “RightFax is the leading fax server and document delivery software with a market share nearly three times larger than its nearest global competitor. With more than 20 years' experience and tens of thousands of customers across the globe, RightFax delivers outstanding value and performance for document-centric business applications.”
RightFax offers a boardless, software fax-over-IP solution but also supports fax boards, enabling users to choose the best fit for their operations. Fax-over-IP is supported for organisations that have invested in digital 1034 Cantata Brooktrout fax boards. RightFax is also proven in hybrid environments for the many companies that are transitioning from traditional PSTN to VOIP and cannot switch over all at once. A RightFax solution can simultaneously manage fax-over-IP and PSTN in a mixed-mode environment, as opposed to the all or nothing approach offered by fax-over-IP only solutions.
Fax software delivers a significant reduction in fax and document delivery costs by eliminating the need for paper-based delivery, standalone fax machines and associated maintenance, supply, equipment and labour costs. Furthermore, RightFax significantly reduces the time it takes your employees to exchange documents with customers or suppliers, resulting in faster sales cycles, quicker customer service and improved efficiency.
“RightFax offers a trusted and reliable fax server and electronic document delivery solution that will help customers comply with regulations and safeguard information security and privacy. Long-standing partnerships and integrations with leading business software and hardware products make RightFax the obvious choice,” he explains.
RightFax integrates with virtually any business system to offer robust and reliable network fax and document delivery from the applications people use daily to communicate, collaborate and conduct business transactions. RightFax offers Microsoft, IBM Lotus Notes and SMTP e-mail fax integrations to make it easy to increase productivity and manage communications. In addition, e-mail fax integration unifies network fax and e-mail in a single inbox.
He says production fax automates delivery of invoices, purchase orders and other documents from host, legacy, CRM and ERP systems such as SAP and Oracle. “Our production fax integrations improve security while streamlining business processes and reducing costs.”
Network fax software integration with MFPs consolidates document development, duplication and distribution capabilities making a more connected, efficient work environment. Tested and/or certified fax software integrations with MFPs from companies such as Canon, HP, Sharp, and Xerox make the most of MFP and network fax infrastructure investments.
Desktop fax and broadcast fax capabilities allow users to conveniently fax a single document to an individual or broadcast fax documents to fax groups or a fax distribution list. Use our desktop and broadcast fax capabilities to improve efficiency and save time and money.
In addition to its commitment and strategy for future development of fax technology, RightFax offers interoperability with Open Text, formally Captaris document management and workflow solutions, as well as leading business applications.
