GFI FAXmaker 12 Ups the Ante With Better Fax-to-Email Server Integration - New GFI FAXmaker Version Offers Improved Email Integration for Administrators and Users Alike, at a Lower Cost

London (ots)

GFI is launching a new version of its enterprise
fax server, GFI FAXmaker. Version 12 merges GFI FAXmaker for Exchange
-- multiple Readers' Choice Award winner -- and GFI FAXmaker for
Networks/SMTP into one product, GFI FAXmaker for Exchange/SMTP. GFI
FAXmaker is now completely SMTP-based, and offers better email
integration and improved scalability. Furthermore, the purchase cost
has been reduced significantly.
New SMTP-based GFI FAXmaker connector for Exchange Server
GFI FAXmaker now integrates with Microsoft Exchange through a
specially configured standard Exchange SMTP connector. Schema updates
to Active Directory are no longer required, and no custom software
needs be installed with Exchange. This makes GFI FAXmaker extremely
scalable, and supportive of new Exchange versions and service packs.
Microsoft Exchange 5.5 is supported by configuring a separate routing
rule on the Exchange 5.5 SMTP connector. GFI FAXmaker can be
installed directly on Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange 2000 Server,
or on a separate machine. Lotus Notes and popular SMTP/POP3 servers
are also supported.
"Microsoft is pleased to see GFI extend the capabilities of
Exchange," said Tiffany Allesina, lead product manager for Exchange
at Microsoft Corp. "With version 12 of FAXmaker, GFI offers Exchange
customers even more options to meet their needs."
Across-the-board price cuts
The new version brings significant cost savings to GFI, to the
benefit of customers. GFI has drastically reduced all GFI FAXmaker
prices: A 25-user FAXmaker has gone down by 22% from US$895 to
US$695, for example, and a 100-user from $2195 to $1950, i.e., 11%
per cent. A sample of price reductions may be viewed in the following
table:
No. of users  New Price  Old Price  % reduction
    10          $375       $425         12
    25          $695       $895         22
    50        $1,250     $1,495         16
Archiving to SQL Server
Version 12 can archive all faxes centrally to Microsoft SQL
Server. The central fax repository can be searched via a web-based
interface, and faxes can be searched for based on recipient, sender
or the text in the fax (requires OCR module).
Supports multiple mail servers and clustering
Because of its flexible new SMTP-based design, one GFI FAXmaker
installation can "fax-enable" multiple mail servers, even different
versions of Exchange Server and SMTP/POP3 servers. Active and passive
clustering are fully supported because GFI FAXmaker does not require
any software to be installed on the mail server itself; one must
simply configure both mail servers in the cluster to be able to send
and receive faxes via GFI FAXmaker.
Improved SMS/texting gateway: GFI FAXmaker embraces mobile
messaging
GFI FAXmaker 12's SMS gateway has also been enhanced. Support has
been added for robust GSM modems, so that SMS messages can be sent
and received directly from the server. It is now also possible to
configure different web-based SMS providers to work with the SMS
gateway.
The SMS gateway has proved popular because users can type and send
SMS messages much faster from their computer (rather than using their
mobile phone pad) and can also use the address book for recipient
mobile numbers. The SMS gateway can also be used for administrative
alerts such as notification of a web server outage, network intrusion
or Internet link failure. News can easily be broadcast to a list of
recipients from the email client. Because the SMS gateway integrates
seamlessly with SMTP, any program that can generate emails can also
send notifications via SMS, allowing organizations to SMS-enable any
corporate application.
Faxes can be received in PDF format
GFI FAXmaker allows faxes to be received in PDF -- this permits
GFI FAXmaker users to view faxes in their PDF viewer and forward them
to external parties (who do not have a GFI FAXmaker viewer). Faxes in
PDF format are also easy to integrate with document management and
text archival systems.

Other features introduced in version 12 include:
- No Active Directory schema updates necessary
   - New Windows 2003 NetPrintQueue2Fax driver
