Sagemcom Kicks Off 2011 With New Versions of XMediusFAX & OpenLine

Sagemcom rings in the New Year 2011 with brand new versions of its XMediusFAXTM Fax over IP (FoIP) server technology and OpenLineTM PR Server fax & archiving solution (Americas edition).

Sagemcom, the global leader in advanced IP fax server solutions since 2002, unveils new versions of its global XMediusFAX Fax over IP (FoIP) software suite (version 6.5.5) and OpenLine PR Server (version 10.5.5, Americas edition) fax and document management solution. The new versions are slated for general market availability on January 4, 2011, and will notably help organizations improve business processes and better adhere to regulations such as the Payment Card Industry (PCI), Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act, as well as the European e-inclusion policy.

XMediusFAX FoIP software and OpenLine PR Server (with XMediusFAX embedded) both play vital infrastructure roles within application ecosystems spanning Unified Communications (UC), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Enterprise Content Management (ECM).

New anchor features in XMediusFAX 6.5.5 and OpenLine PR Server 10.5.5 include:

• Administrative Audit Logging

  Records and logs all actions including visualizing a fax, performed by administrators, thus decreasing troubleshooting times and increasing security and compliancy. This new feature plays a big role in PCI Compliance, particularly in government and financial sectors where private information is exchanged and stored in the fax system.

• Optimized Assistive and E-Accessibility

  The WebClient, MMC and WebAdmin interfaces are now optimized for use with assistive technologies by individuals with a visual impairment or reduced mobillity and complies with Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act and the European e-inclusion policy.

• Delayed Faxing

  Users can postpone transmission of their faxes to benefit from off-peak toll charges or to minimize the impact on system resources associated with large transmissions involving hundreds or thousands of recipients.

• User Delegation

  Users can easily switch between their own fax inbox and additional inboxes they have been granted access to. This capability benefits call centers and workgroups where there is a need to access multiple inboxes or share a central department inbox.

• Microsoft Internet Fax Service Integration

  Further leverage your XMediusFAX or OpenLine PR Server investment by having users send faxes directly from MS Office applications using the intuitive Internet Fax option, without requiring an expensive monthly ISP subscription.
