Sagemcom, the global leader in advanced IP fax server solutions since 2002, has just signed a reseller agreement with IKON Office Solutions, Inc., a Ricoh company and leading provider of innovative document management solutions and services.
Under the new reseller agreement, IKON will be offering Sagemcom’s North American version of OpenLine PR Server fax archival and approval routing solution to organizations looking to improve efficiencies within an application ecosystem encompassing Unified Communications (UC), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Enterprise Content Management (ECM).
With today’s accelerating deployment of TDM-to-IP migration technologies, IKON can help customers facilitate the transition by offering Sagemcom’s OpenLine PR fax archival & management appliance built on XMediusFAX Fax over IP (FoIP) technology, which can be deployed with multifunction printers (MFPs) and other network-based document management, ERP or ECM infrastructures.
“Sagemcom’s new partnership with IKON will open up many new avenues for us on the ECM, ERP and UC front. The IP fax ecosystem intersects all of these areas, representing significant market opportunities over the next few years for our OpenLine PR Server solution. OpenLine PR Server, with its hybrid fax archival/document routing engine, is cost- and application-optimized for ECM/MFP applications targeted by IKON. The OpenLine PR Server plays a dual role in helping SMBs and enterprises meet their integrated document management (IDM) and cost-effective faxing objectives for capturing, storing, managing and delivering documents across an enterprise or SMB.”
“IKON is pleased to partner with Sagemcom to extend the benefits of the OpenLine PR Server solution to our customers. We believe Sagemcom’s industry-leading Fax over IP and enhanced IDM solutions will complement IKON’s document management services, which encompass digital copiers, printers, MFPs, and workflow management systems. IP fax has emerged as a sought-after, mission-critical application that many enterprises rely upon for secure and cost-effective document transmission and audit traceability.”
