E-mail and fax are usually seen as two different worlds but have in common that they are both used intensively.

Fax has been with us since 1843 and will be a useful complement to E-mail well into the future. A messaging system that can only handle E-mail is disconnected from the millions of fax devices in the world. So the question isn’t why fax, but how, how to make fax communications more efficient and more flexible.

E-mail combines the speed and efficiency of the telephone with the written word. However, fax is in many cases still the de facto communication method for important documents such as orders, legal papers, contracts etc. because it’s more secure, more reliable, virus-free and protected by law.

So what is a better idea than to take the best of both worlds and combine E-mail and fax into something that is best described as E-Faxing.

The Vidicode network Fax Servers are the best way to quickly and efficiently turn an ordinary network into a fax enabled network, enabling the users to immediately send and receive their faxes on their PC using E-mail software. No extra server with exchange integration, no license fees to worry about. Simply install the Fax Server and start E-Faxing.

Fax Servers communicate with your organisation's network. The Fax Server may be located in a Server Room, but Faxes can be sent to and from your desk using e-mail.

Received faxes can be sent to e-mail addresses automatically. The system sends faxes with your e-mail program. Just prepare an e-mail like your are used to (even with attachments) and simply e-mail it to the Fax Server. A special software application, running on a central PC, will convert your e-mail to .TIF and send it to the fax server. As soon as your fax is delivered you will receive a notification in your inbox.
