Omtool quick out of the blocks with NT 5.0 support

Johannesburg, 26 Oct 1998

In anticipation of widespread IT migration to Microsoft Windows NT Server 5.0, Omtool has announced a fax server solution that supports Microsoft Management Console (MMC).

"This new release will allow systems administrators to keep track of incoming and outgoing faxes from the same one-stop shop that runs all their administration tools," says Jon Perera, lead product manager for Windows NT Server at Microsoft.

Omtool products are distributed in South Africa by Server Tools.

Fax Sr 3.0 takes advantage of Windows NT Server features such as MMC, the default management utility for the BackOffice family of products including SQL Server, NT Server, Exchange and Internet Information Server.

"Omtool has strengthened the unified messaging capability of Fax Sr 3.0 by adding fax enhancements to Microsoft Exchange," says Larry Grothaus, Microsoft Exchange Server product manager. "New features, such as the ability to resend a failed fax with a single mouse click, create a customised cover page and add billing codes, make Fax Sr an even more flexible and comprehensive messaging extension to Exchange Server."

Other Fax Sr 3.0 features are integration with SAP R/3, enhancements to Microsoft Outlook, open database support, a redesigned client with Windows 98 look and feel, integration with Symantec`s Winfax Pro, a new API for OEM integration, and a new Microsoft Word-based cover page designer.
