press release
venali, the leader in
enterprise ip fax announces a new relationship with microsoft providing
internet fax services for the beta release of microsoft® office 2003
MIAMI, Fl. (March 10, 2003)
- Venali, the premier provider of innovative eMessaging solutions for
global
enterprises, announced today that its IP fax solutions will be available
via the Beta release of Microsoft®
Office 2003. Delivering a new and convenient fax messaging solution that
seamlessly integrates directly into
all Microsoft Office 2003 applications enables users to send and receive
faxes from Microsoft Outlook 2003
over Venali's secure IP fax network. Sending faxes is now as easy and
accessible as sending email.
All Microsoft Office 2003 customers, from small and mid-size
businesses to enterprise-sized customers, can
leverage their business applications and existing communications platform
in a simple and cost-effective manner. Instead of relying on traditional
phone lines, modems or fax servers, transmissions are routed over the
Internet quickly and efficiently. Faxes are sent directly from all Microsoft
Office applications to any fax number worldwide, and faxes can be received
into your Microsoft Outlook 2003 inbox as an email attachment. Users are
able to select an individual in-bound fax number from over 175 worldwide
locations where faxes can be received and accessed.
With Venali Internet Fax functions integrated directly
into Microsoft Office 2003, users now have the tools and benefits at their
fingertips that they otherwise could not have with traditional fax solutions.
Among the many features of Microsoft Outlook 2003, you can select fax
cover sheets, preview faxes before sending, calculate
the cost of fax transmissions, send signed or annotated faxes using a
tablet PC, organize faxes in search folders, and apply document stamps
to faxes.
"The Venali Internet Fax Services available through
Microsoft Office 2003 provide a practical solution that our company has
been waiting for a long time. We receive faxes much more efficiently with
a PC-based fax service
and no longer need expensive fax modems, which aren't conducive to enabling
every user with fax," said David Wilmering, Director of Product Management
at Think Dynamics. "The overall cost advantages are tremendous compared
to providing document delivery capabilities internally".
In addition to the many value-added fax functions, the secure Venali service provides Venali Account Management Services, a web-based administrative tool for users to modify or update account information.
"Our goal with the Microsoft Office System is to
connect people with information and business process", said
Joseph Eschbach, Microsoft Corporate VP. "Enabling people and companies
to quickly and conveniently establish
an Internet Fax environment for their messaging needs is a great example
of how we're turning that goal into reality".
"As a provider of premium Internet messaging services, we're excited
about expanding our product line into
a wider segment of the market with Microsoft," said Ralph Musgrove,
Vice President of Market Development
at Venali. "The advantages that IP fax and our services offer are
now going to be available to everyone across
the globe".
The competitive advantages that businesses gain from the Venali and Microsoft relationship includes rapid cost containment, immediate global deployment, zero investment and maintenance, and enhanced messaging security. Enterprises are able to increase workflow and office productivity through speed and efficiency of delivery, as well as reduce operating expenses associated with fax hardware, software, maintenance, support, printing and/or mailing.
