FaxLink fax server
FaxLink
The Esnatech FaxLink Fax Server software is an advanced outbound/inbound fax service that can be added to any Esnatech Unified Communications platform. It provides direct SIP faxing with any PBX or IP PBX resolving faxes over existing voice channels, not only eliminating the need for legacy fax machines but also minimizing the lines and resources needed to process faxes within an organization. Fax is still a core technology in many organizations for EDI and is typically overlooked.
Corporate networks are increasingly evolving to support voice, video, and data applications on a single network infrastructure. According to research firm Gartner, 91% of all corporate telephone sales are expected to be IP-capable by 2009. By migrating fax communications to converged IP architectures, companies enjoy many advantages over legacy analogue or time division multiplexed (TDM) fax. The centralised and fault-tolerant nature of IP fax servers:
- Reduces phone bills by driving long distance fax traffic over IP
- Eliminates costs of maintaining dedicated analog fax ports off your phone system
- Easily provides fax services to all employees regardless of location
- Lowers cost of disaster readiness associated with fax technology
- Consolidates remote fax servers in a central location
- Eliminates analog fax machines
Fax in Remote Areas
Traditionally, providing fax services to employees in remote locations required on-site fax servers that are cost-justified by large user bases. However, with an IP fax server, employees can access the fax image and signal processing capability that resides in the remote data centre. The field office gateway is the link to the public switched telephone network. Adding remote offices to an IP fax server is a matter of software configuration. With IP Fax, a remote employee can use the company's fax server as easily as if it were in their own office. As companies implement gateways at remote locations and centralize voice and fax services, they're able to leverage their network infrastructure to route calls between office locations at the lowest cost. Fax server technology sits squarely at the intersection of communications, document management, business process automation and compliance. The shift to IP communications, combined with the increased focus on business process automation and document management, maakes the IP fax server an excellent option as companies accelerate their IP communications plans.
The Faxlink service is designed to offer companies a cost-effective and easy-to-use alternative to faxing based upon a unified voice and fax network, rather than costly dedicated PSTN connections. Users can easily enable their e-mail systems to send/receive fax messages.
