Omtool, a leading provider of AS/400, network and Internet fax server solutions, and System Software Associates (SSA), a leading global provider of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, have entered an agreement to integrate Omtool`s FAX/400 with SSA`s eBPCS, SSA`s core software application.
As part of the agreement, SSA will also offer FAX/400, Omtool`s enterprise-wide fax solution for the AS/400, to its end-user customers and resellers.
Omtool acquired CMA Ettworth, a leading developer of AS/400 fax technology, in December 1997. FAX/400 combines CMA`s AS/400 fax software and Omtool`s Windows NT fax technology in a turnkey system. After a thorough examination of the market, SSA chose Omtool as a recommended fax solution for eBPCS customers.
FAX/400 provides high-end AS/400 faxing capabilities with a robust Windows NT server. It provides a production-scale LAN/WAN network fax solution, complete with e-mail integration (Lotus Notes Mail, MS Exchange, SMTP), Windows 95/NT clients and Web browser clients. The NT server connects to the AS/400 via TCP/IP to serve as the fax engine for all SSA applications on the AS/400, including inventory, request for quotes, purchase orders and invoices.
FAX/400 offers users a wide variety of fax options such as the ability to set fax priorities, attach native documents, send broadcast faxes, create custom cover pages, add billing codes, view and analyse a detailed log of faxes and resend failed faxes. FAX/400 cuts costs by taking advantage of least cost routing across a WAN or the Internet, where faxes become local calls, for customers with multiple sites. SSA is represented in South Africa by Armada/SSA and Omtool by Server Tools.
