UniFax V.4 Delivers Major Efficiency and ROI Improvements for Business Fax Communications

Online fax service provides a more convenient, scalable, and secure way to send and receive business-critical documents via email and the web

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) August 24, 2004 -- Data On Call, a leading outsourced provider of web-based fax and electronic document delivery services, announces several exciting feature additions to its flagship online fax service, UniFax , greatly improving the productivity and ROI of business-critical fax communications.

UniFax provides businesses with an extremely convenient, scalable, and secure way to send and receive mission-critical documents via email and the web, without the time and costs associated with fax equipment, software, and telephony.

Companies can send and receive faxes using our high-capacity infrastructure much more efficiently and cost-effectively than otherwise possible," says Ken Truesdale, president, Data On Call. Businesses utilizing our web-based fax services can save potentially thousands of dollars on document production and processing. This accounts for the time and expenses associated with printing, copying, fax equipment, phone lines, long-distance charges, etc."

According to Gartner analysts, businesses lose anywhere between 1 and 3% of their annual revenues to a poorly managed document production infrastructure. Another recent Gartner report estimates cost savings of up to 30% for enterprises that outsource their data communications.

UniFax V.4 gives businesses a comprehensive outsourced solution for faxing documents securely and reliably via email or the web without any infrastructure requirements.

New UniFax capabilities include:

Increased Performance and Reliability. UniFax now runs at V.34/33.6 Kbps, allowing faxes to transmit up to 50 percent faster than the industry average standard (V.17/14.4 Kbps). V.34/33.6 Kbps capabilities provide a faster transmission time per fax page, greater adaptability to varying line conditions, and a reduction in the number of resends per fax.

Additional Usability Features. New usability features include a convenient email address format for sending faxes to different fax numbers via email, the ability to receive inbound faxes as PDF files, and an online reporting module providing users with on-demand access to their fax activity and account details.

FTP Option for Automated Fax Delivery. UniFax now also offers an FTP push (file transfer protocol) option designed for enterprise environments. This feature allows inbound faxes to be automatically deposited directly onto client networks.

More Data Security and Encryption Options. Additional data encryption and security options are available. PGP encryption can be utilized to support encrypted email messages. UniFax users can now also restrict access to their specific IPs for additional security. These security features are critical to businesses following HIPAA compliance or other stringent security/privacy requirements.
