FAXmaker for Exchange is an enterprise quality fax server that can deliver on this promise. With more than 70,000 fax servers shipped since its launch, FAXmaker is an industry leader when it comes to reliability, robustness, ease of use & administration, and price. FAXmaker for Exchange version 12 is a native connector for Microsoft Exchange server. This seamless integration allows users to send and receive faxes directly from Microsoft Outlook, making it easy to use and learn. FAXmaker for Exchange is easier to manage too - user administration can be done from the Exchange administrator. The result is increased efficiency and lower total cost of ownership.   Features for the user Send and receive faxes from Outlook Faxes can be sent and received from within the Microsoft Outlook client. To send a fax, users can either enter a message in Microsoft Outlook or the Exchange client, or print from their word processor to the FAXmaker printer, after which the Outlook New message dialog pops up automatically. The user now selects the recipient(s) of the fax from the Outlook Contacts list (address book). After clicking on the ‘Send’ button, the fax is sent out and the user will receive a transmission report in his or her inbox.   Sending a fax is just like sending an email FAX from any Windows application No matter which Windows application is used, anything a user creates can be faxed. The user simply prints the document to the FAXmaker printer. Files, for instance a Microsoft Word document, can also be attached to the fax. Each user can customize their own cover page incorporating a company logo and even their own signature.   Supports Outlook contacts There is no need to keep a separate fax address book - just select the recipient’s “Business Fax” entry from the Outlook contacts list or the Global Address Book. In this way you do not need to duplicate address entries. Also, Because fax recipients appear in the e-mail address book, users can interchange fax and e-mail addresses, making it easy for the user to broadcast information to a number of people, whether they have an email or a fax address. Use your Outlook contacts list for fax recipients Attach any Office document Users can attach any Office document to their message. This document will then be rendered to fax format at the server and faxed out. A document can also be faxed using the ‘Send file’ command, which is available in all Microsoft Office applications and many others. FAX annotation Incoming faxes can also be edited. This gives users the possibility to stamp their ‘Approval’ on faxed documents or add their own comments. The edited faxes can then be returned, or routed to another recipient. FAX broadcasting using Microsoft Office Mail merge Using the mail merge facility of Microsoft Word/Office, you can send personalized fax broadcasts to any amount of users. Because Microsoft Office supports ODBC, the recipient list can be retrieved from any data source, including Microsoft SQL server, Microsoft Access and many more.   Features for the administrator FAXmaker: The zero admin fax server!
