Features:
| Ease of use Sending a fax is as easy as sending an e-mail, whether it is from a user’s Lotus Notes mail database or via Domino Web Access, and anything that can be printed in Windows can be faxed. | Safeguard confi dential documents Restrict access for users and/or fax administrators to only see the cover page of a fax, ensuring the contents of the fax remain private and confi dential. For heightened security, route inbound faxes directly to individual inboxes using DID routing. |
| Fax-over-IP (FoIP) support ExtraFax supports FoIP which allows users to send faxes using an existing VoIP infrastructure. | SMS / MMS |
| OCR support Searching large documents for a small piece of information can be tedious and time consuming. With OCR, users have the ability to quickly search faxes saved in TIFF or searchable PDF format for pertinent information, saving time and increasing productivity. | Sametime plug-in This new and innovative plug-in allows users to send a fax, SMS or MMS message directly from within the IBM Lotus Sametime client. By leveraging the web service feature users can enhance their Sametime experience and increase effi ciency and productivity. |
| Centralized database ExtraFax requires only one central database to run. All confi gurations, user preferences, cover pages, logs and fax queues are all centrally managed in one post offi ce database. | Enhanced API/Web Service Programmers working in Java, Visual C#.NET, Visual Basic.NET and ASP.NET can benefi t from the newly enhanced ExtraFax API which allows them to integrate ExtraFax into your custom enterprise applications and ERP solutions. |
| Native printing Native printing ensures quality conversions of fi le attachments into a fax format so that the way the attachment is viewed in its native application is how the document will appear when faxed. | Clustering, fail-over and load balancing By supporting clustering, fail-over and load balancing, ExtraFax is able to ensure high availability and scalability of faxing services. |
