GO GREEN with FaxCore

Senior managers are focusing on compliance concerns because of their impact on all aspects of business operations. Efforts to comply with regulatory require-ments must be supported by appropriate IT systems. - Gartner, Inc. (NYSE: IT)

Globalization and the need for timely and accurate reporting of financial informa-tion have created new regulations regarding document retrieval and retention requirements. Businesses must invest in fax servers, email archiving and docu-ment management systems to comply with new regulations.

The first step is to remove all the fax machines. A fax machine cannot prove who sent the fax or what was sent. FaxCore delivers documents and compliance!

The good news is that these systems pay for themselves through gains in efficiency and the related benefits of having every document instantly retriev-able.

COMPLIANCE – FaxCore is a key part of it.

FaxCore’s New Design Features• Web-Based Access via Internet Explorer 9, Google Chrome, Mozilla and Safari browsers (IIS 7.5 architecture). • Design from Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework with A.J.A.X. (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) provides more functionality in a single window.• Auto fax forwarding to email (Fax-to-Email).• FaxCore’s multi-tenant design is perfect for multi-national companies.• Mixed Mode Messaging – fax, http, ftp, SMS & email.• IP-Fax desktop Printer Driver –Print to Fax• Built-in document tracking, searching and archiving of faxes.• Secure fax image encryption (RSA 256 bit) and Tracking with Audit Trail• Flexible and powerful tools for fax enabling 3rd party applications.• Auto fax archiving.

FaxCore® is the next generation fax server built natively on the Microsoft .NET platform, which provides a secure, manageable, flexible and efficient way to fax while leveraging internet technologies such as the web and e-mail.

Success is dependent on communicating with your customers and suppliers the most efficient and secure way possible, and fax is still the preferred method for businesses around the world.

FaxCore’s® .NET SDK has a well-defined SOAP interface making the fax services available via XML to any enterprise platform (Linux, MAC, Unix, Windows). Redesigned from the ground up on Microsoft .NET 4.0 and IIS 7.5 architecture.

.NET DESIGN

By leveraging ASP.NET Web Controls, the rich functionality normally associated with a Fat Client are available to both Users and Administrators through Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Enhanced A.J.A.X. (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) feature.

BROWSER INTERFACE FOR USERS AND ADMINISTRATORS.

Send faxes from Outlook by sending an email to the Business Fax address of a Contact or using a one off address, and option-ally add a FaxCore folder in Outlook for real time monitoring of faxes.

INTEGRATION WITH MICROSOFT OUTLOOK

FaxCore’s® Mixed Mode Messaging allows users to send docu-ments messages via fax, email, HTTP and FTP. With the FaxCore® MFP Connector, users can get authenticated logins at the MFP to fax paper documents and then archive the fax in FaxCore. FaxCore’s Multi-Lingual feature allow users to have a localized language preference (double byte characters).

BEYOND FAXING

The domain model in FaxCore® enables the propagation of inherited user and system properties within Organizational Units or Child Domains, which simplifies the administration of system cover pages, addresses, etc.

INHERITED USER PERMISSIONS

The domain-based user model in FaxCore® is a true enterprise directory structure. This enables FaxCore® to mirror AD and NDS enterprise directory structures unlike other fax products that have a flat domain model.

ENTERPRISE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE

The low level design of FaxCore® allows for scalability and fault tolerance with distributed processing. Legacy computer fax products are client-dependant first generation, while client/server products are second generation. FaxCore® is a latest generation solution and the only one that conforms to the N-Tier and web service paradigm.

N-TIER ARCHITECTURE

Enhanced security design at the user level, dealing with permis-sions related to sending messages and a manager fax approval restriction. Superior audit trails enabling managers to audit and supervise all actions.

SECURITY AND BETTERMONITORING

Key differentiators that set FaxCore® apart from other fax server solutions

The new rendering engine eliminates the requirement of having the native applications including Microsoft Office and Adobe Reader to be installed on the FaxCore® Server.

Additional Print Driver Design specifically for broadcasting.

NEW RENDERING ENGINE& CLIENT PRINT DRIVER

FaxCore® provides a rich set of APIs that expose the full set features in the FaxCore® Server. The SDK/APIs includes Web Service API via XML over HTTPs as well Windows Communica-tion Foundation (WCF). SDK Functions accommodate all message and user management functions.

FaxCore® SDK

The new SMTP Gateway provides email to fax functionality via direct sending to the FaxCore® SMTP Server, or through Micro-soft Exchange, Lotus Notes and other mail servers. It supports character encoding when parsing sender and recipient emails address from mail server. This allows SMTP parser to convert double-byte characters from base64 string to original encoding.

The new FILE Gateway provides a simpler architecture of initiat-ing faxes through FaxCore® Server by dropping files into directories. Supports PCL, embedded codes, RightFax embed-ded Codes and other file formats.

NEW SMTP & FILE GATEWAY

FaxCore® FaxAgent enhanced security for all communications between the FaxAgent and FaxCore® Server modules. Fax images and transaction details are encrypted and transmission information will be encrypted and relayed securely by a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service. WCF provides secure message transport between client and server, and it will support HTTPS on top of existing communication channel. Improved FaxAgent fax recovery during FaxAgent service downtime, as well as FaxCore® Server downtime (IIS outage)

Supports secondary driver instance for fail-over/overflow configuration. Driver supported is etherFAX services only.

FaxCore® FAX AGENT

The new FaxCore® thin client and administrator interface delivers all the features normally only found in a fat client. The full feature UI allows users to select cover pages, initiate fax and/or email transmissions. User can view all fax transmission details andinformative statistics. Additional reporting modules with most extensive variety of search criteria ever offered, is made available to the user in an intuitive format.

The send message platform will be expanded from basic fax and email, to support print, HTTP/FTP post, and file drop. This allows users to utilize FaxCore® to distribute information on a wider transport protocol. Also allows file transferred in its original format (workflow in progress to prevent spam and unathorized distribution of suspicious files such as *.ZIP)

All UI screens featuring a grid, will have a quick search function to allow user to display specific results, without going through grid paging or column sort. Additional message status information such as read/unread, print, save and notifcation status.

FaxCore® is architected with the same web services design that popular on-line retailers use to provide scalable and fault tolerant Internet based services.

FaxCore’s® architecture enables organizations to duplicate and spread critical system processes across multiple PCs. For example, rather than putting all fax boards into a single server, spread them out over multiple PCs, each containing 50%, 25%, 20%, etc. of the fax boards and PSTN connections, thus eliminating single points of failure. This same concept can be applied to all of the critical fax server functions: Rendering, Document Storage, Presentation Services, and Event Processing.

Fault Tolerant and Scalable without Expensive Clustering

DID — Direct Inward Dial service for analog DID lines.

DNIS — Dialed Number Identification Service for digital T1, PRI/T1 and E1 circuits.

DTMF — Dual Tone Multi-Frequency for analog fax boards.

CSI — Called Subscriber Identification is data traded by fax devices.

Line Routing — records which line the fax was received on.

Caller ID — available with digital fax circuits.

Barcode data — when present can be read by FaxCore and used to assign ownership of a fax.

FaxCore® offers a new way to automatically route faxes to the proper recipient through the use of bar code recognition. Implementing Bar Code Routing is far less costly than the monthly cost of providing every person their own unique fax number. For example, it can cost $5,000/year for 200 DID fax numbers on four DID lines. The FaxCore® barcode module is half that cost and it’s a one time cost.

The vast majority of legitimate faxes are sent and received by people and companies who have an established relationship. Just as we exchange phone, fax and email addresses, individuals can distribute their own unique barcode that contains their User ID.

The key to making barcode routing successful is to distribute the barcodes to the people who send the faxes. Barcodes can be put on survey forms, RMAs, Customer Support Requests, contracts, Order Confirmations, etc.

Barcodes can be placed on forms that are distributed and designed to be filled out and faxed back in. FaxCore® scans every page of a received fax, looking for a barcode. Once the barcode is read the data extracted is compared to a list of Routing Rules for determining ownership of the fax. Once ownership is established, a notification event occurs.
