IP Fax Feature ArticlesWhile most of us rely on social media, email or even texting to exchange information, certain industries must still rely on other communication channels to ensure compliance with industry regulations. For instance, in the healthcare field, texting information regarding a patient does not comply with HIPAA regulations. Sending the same information via IP fax, however, is acceptable.
As companies across the globe make the transition to fully unified communications (UC), IT managers are faced with an important decision - what to do about their fax service. IP fax is often the final step toward achieving total telecommunications convergence, and choosing the right IP Fax platform is therefore critical for a successful and complete transition to UC.
With the weather warming up, event planners are kicking into gear, preparing for weddings, festivals, concerts and other outdoor events. Organizing these events is no small affair. The sheer amount of money and coordination required to successfully host such events can be staggering.

Why FoIP? A number of business leaders are under the assumption that fax technology is dead. The argument seems to make sense, as they can carry just one mobile device to do everything. But, that mobile device likely has the capability to send fax over IP, or FoIP, communications. With the support of IP fax, this 'dead' technology is brought into the next generation.
The paperless office - according to estimates released in the 1970s, we should have already reached this pinnacle.

Cloud: The Future of IP Fax There is no doubt that the cloud is a rainmaker for many types of technology. Businesses are turning to the cloud to meet a variety of needs from storage to computing power to communication. And just about every communications technology vendor needs to look to the cloud to forecast the future of their industry. The fact of the matter is, the cloud represents the next step in the journey for companies, and it definitely marks the future of IP fax.
Coming with a number of enhanced features and functionalities, the next generation of Internet protocol, IPv6, is believed to improve the security of IP traffic and provide more support for real-time communications. With a goal to develop roadmap for telecommunications industry's smooth transition to IPv6 for SIP applications, services and devices the SIP Forum has reportedly formed the SIP over IPv6 Task Group (IPv6).
When it comes to unified communications and cloud-based systems, one feature that cannot be left out is fax. One panel at the Cloud Communications Expo today, collocated with ITEXPO Austin 2012, revolved around just that subject.As it's certainly not a new development in the telecom industry, the panelists agreed that fax is often either left out of enterprise UC deployments altogether, or added as an afterthought somewhere down the line.
While e-mail may be the most common form of communication between colleagues, it's not the most secure. That honor still belongs to fax, and Sagemcom knows it. Of course, fax still needs to keep up with online and cloud technology, but once again, Sagemcom has that covered.

Why IP Fax is Still Relevant In an era that is dominated by instant messaging, e-mail, SMS and other instant forms of communication, some people might ask whether fax communication is still relevant. In fact, a large number of business transactions are conducted via fax, usually IP fax, especially when dealing with purchase orders and other transactional documents. Many companies in the healthcare field also rely on fax transmissions due to legal restrictions, and IP fax solutions lead the way in this space.
GL Communications has announced the availability of its product MAPS SIGTRAN ISDN Protocol Emulator - Scripted SIGTRAN ISDN over IP Emulation.
ABC News recently selected Alteva to provide the new portable HD telecommunications solutions at the just concluded Republican National Convention in Tampa, FL. and the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC., scheduled to be held September 3-6.
Often, technology spaces are crowded with dozens of different vendors offering similar products and little chance for customers to figure out key differentiators. But business - like our personal lives - is all about relationships and recently, IP fax specialist Sagemcom solidified a key business relationship that confirms it as a key player in the space. The company has secured a position as an International Avaya Users Group 3-Star Partner.
Communications technology is constantly evolving, and, like the evolution of mail from the Pony Express to overnight delivery to e-mail, other methods of communications have changed over time as well. Take fax, for example. It has come a long way from the clunky fax machines many of us remember from the 1980s. Nowadays, there are a host of cutting edge options such as cloud and IP fax solutions that can save companies a lot of money.
Recently, global satellite and radio technology developer Thrane & Thrane has announced to supply market-leading SAILOR FleetBroadband terminals to Thome Ship Management, under a new frame agreement facilitated by AND Group plc.

IP fax simply allows those old analog fax machines to process both sent and received faxes via a VoIP network. Sagemcom's OpenLine PR Service is a product that gives usability to their fax machine.
Sagemcom has been a leader in the IP fax space since its inception in 2002. With products such as the XMediusFAX boardless T.38 IP fax server, it provides cutting-edge solutions for businesses across the world.
Now, the Montreal-based company, a Microsoft Gold Certified provider, adds a gold star to its repertoire.

Dubbed StarFax Personal, the new cloud fax service offers reliable and high-quality desktop faxing to any Star2Star system.
Let's face it; any piece of technology is only good if it completes the task for which it is designed. In the case of a fax solution, it needs to be able to transmit the entirety of a document to the receiving device, whether across the PSTN or as IP fax solution.
Telecom and networking solutions provider Vocal Technologies has released an enhanced TR-069 VoIP stack with integrated fax image extraction. According to the developer, the enhanced VoIP stack may be used for Lawful Interception (LI) of fax transmissions over PSTN or IP networks. The company said that it can used where flexibility and dynamic reconfiguration of remote LI assets is required to intercept targeted facsimile communications.
The introduction of VoIP technology and cloud-based environments has put pressure on other devices to evolve with the times. Advancements in fax technology were the next logical progression. Fax services are still an integral part of many organizations because of their ability to securely transmit confidential information. For that reason, they are widely used in the healthcare, financial, and legal industries, among others.
Gone are the days when the term "fax" was associated with a separate piece of hardware that probably stood next to the coffee machine in your office workroom. In today's modern age, IP fax is an infrastructure play, sitting at the intersection of unified communications (UC), enterprise content management (ECM), and enterprise resource management (ERP). Nowadays, fax servers are more complex and are in the guts of IT rather than at the edge.
Warning: This story is about facsimile solutions. Agreed, this topic ain't sexy. Fax is relatively flat in terms of the number of faxes sent, and the number of fax machines is clearly declining, being replaced by multifunctional peripheral devices. Nonetheless, fax servers and services represent a multibillion dollar opportunity. And fax remains an important method of document sharing.
The speed of business is faster than ever, so any feature that makes finding the information you need fast and easy is welcome. In the case of faxes, gone are the days where you are forced to scour through dozens of pages of a document to find the text you seek. Now, with Sagemcom's XMediusFAX Release 7, incoming faxes can be automatically converted to searchable PDFs to make the finding and selecting of text within the documents fast and easy.
The world of telecommunications is dynamic and constantly changing. Platforms, products and software are continuously updated and new methods of delivering voice, video and data are being implemented all the time. As the technology evolves, it is important for software providers to evolve alongside these innovations, adapting and changing to various changes.
While instant messaging, video and voice communications continue to play an important role in corporate communications, new innovations still haven't replaced the necessity of the fax machine. In fact, fax continues to be an increasingly critical business application. What used to function as a standalone analog machine, however, has evolved into an IP fax solution that resides on the network.

What Fax Means in Today's IP World The fax machine was first envisioned by Alexander Bain in the 1840s. That's right the 1840s. For many, the golden era of the fax machine was in the 1980s, when the number of machines in use in the world increased more than tenfold. But in today's world of mobile phones, voice over IP and unified communications, where does the term "fax" even fit in?
Technology has afforded many businesses some pretty nifty features that make communication a heck of a lot easier. From VoIP to virtualization to IP fax, it's a rather seamless process to get in touch with someone one way or the other. But with different technologies offering different features, a desk can get rather cluttered with various and sundry equipment. That is why it's time to ditch the phones and fax machines and go the way of unified communications, or UC.
The configurable time zone feature of Release 7 of XMediusFAX enables clients whose system users are not all in the same time zone as the server to configure time coordinates that reflect their specific geographic location in relation to the server. Clients can configure or retrieve a time zone per user for the rasterization of cover sheets, fax headers and email notifications for each individual.
For companies that have implemented IP communications for voice, fax, messaging and conferencing, there are many benefits, ranging from cost savings to ease of use. But in addition to these benefits, there can also be potential problems, especially considering the high volume of data traffic that crosses the IP network each and every second.
In the hectic business world with its ever more frantic pace, workers are constantly looking for ways to make common tasks easier and simpler. Therefore, when a company is looking to upgrade an already successful offering, one common area of improvement is frequently simplified operations. This was a philosophy adopted by Sagemcom as the company readied the latest release of its XMediusFAX IP fax solution: simplifying operations and optimizing for the Web.
When Sagemcom decided to update its XMediusFAX offering, the company knew that it would have an opportunity to include a wide variety of new features. While Release 7 of XMediusFAX is designed with new SIP trunking features, those are not the only new innovations included in the updated version. The latest release has an anchor feature - barcode routing - that is designed to make the capturing and routing of inbound faxes faster and easier.
GL Communications, a company that specializes in test monitoring and analysis equipment for TDM, wireless, IP and VoIP networks, has enhanced its PacketScan software. The improvements to the Ethernet/IP/VoIP traffic analyzer will enable it to extract images from IP faxes, along with other innovative enhancements.
Some companies, when they achieve a successful niche in a market, are content to sit on their laurels. Others, though, seek to continue developing new features, to push their products to new heights, and to invest time, money and resources to research and develop new methods of achieving efficiency and innovation. When it comes to the IP fax space, one company that has managed to carve out a unique position in the market is Sagemcom, and it has not rested on its laurels, as it plans to release a new version of its popular XMediusFAX server.
Biscom, Inc., a provider of enterprise fax servers, hosted cloud fax services, and secure file transfer solutions, has been awarded patent for file size reduction of scanned color documents with black and white areas.
Changes in leadership always lead to interesting times. Whenever a new leader is appointed or elected, at a government level or in a corporation or organization, it means a time of readjustment. New leaders bring change and new ideas, which can be very exciting, and they can focus on new initiatives or really drive home existing plans.
There are many conferences and events that one can attend if one is interested in learning more about the technology and communications space. If one is particularly interested in various forms of IP communications technologies, such as VoIP or IP fax, then one such upcoming event is SIPNOC US 2012.
In the alphabet soup of telecommunications, it's hard to keep track of all of the acronyms. So if you don't know that RTP stands for Real-time Transport Protocol, or that RTCP stands for RTP Control Protocol, then you probably don't need the new RTP ToolBox from GL Communications. On the other hand, if you regularly deal with this packet format for delivering audio, video over IP networks, and need a testing solution for IP fax, IP phones and more, then this product may be for you.
Affinegy, a proven global supplier of service enablement and network management software solutions for the home, has acquired Sagemcom's TR-069 ACS Solutions business.
Quadrant Software has launched its first annual Customer Trade-Up Program, saying that it provides a path for any current Quadrant FastFax customer to migrate from its existing hardware/software combination to its new QuadraDocV, virtual fax over IP (FoIP) solution.
In the world of modern communications, some businesses could get overwhelmed by the sheer number of devices needed to keep in contact with customers and partners. From smartphones to softphones, from fax machines to tablets, the amount of communications tools in the arsenal of a typical business is massive. So, when a company releases a solution that can convert a typical PC into a multifaceted communications device, business owners should take notice.
While some people who are not as in tune with communications and technology might scoff at the announcement of a new fax solution, thinking that fax machines are remnants of the 1980s, Quadrant Software, a company that has been in the space for almost two decades, begs to differ. In fact, the company is about to release a new product, dubbed QuadraDocV, which is touted to be the industry's only virtual Fax over IP product native to IBM i AS400.
Patton Electronics has said that together with Patton-Inalp Networks, it is now taking orders for the eight-to-24-call SmartNode 4670 BRI/FXS/FXO VoIP Integrated Access Device (IAD) with built-in IP fax capability and G.SHDSL broadband access.

Most organizations today are tasked with protecting and tracking sensitive data, both by regulatory compliance mandates and internal corporate policies. But it's not uncommon for a company to focus a lot of effort on security in one area - company e-mail, for example - while entirely failing to sufficiently securing another area. IP Fax is one of those areas many companies fall down on when it comes to security.
Facsimile (Fax) communication is still considered as one of the fastest and most reliable modes of communication by many organizations in all verticals. With cloud computing technology catching the trend, etherFAX - a company offering fax services in the cloud - has unveiled its Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Software Development Kit (SDK) that will allow enterprise organizations to cloud-enable their fax applications in a cost-effective manner.
The demand for fax communications continues to thrive in a number of different markets, including manufacturing, construction and healthcare, to name just a few. The challenge for companies operating in this space is the increased move to an all-IP environment, as analog faxing technology is creating communication bottlenecks and limiting productivity.
Unlike in traditional telephony, where bundles of physical wires were once delivered from the service provider to a business, SIP trunking allows a company to replace these traditional fixed PSTN lines with PSTN connectivity via a SIP trunking service provider on the Internet. SIP trunks can offer significant cost-savings for enterprises, eliminating the need for local PSTN gateways.
The migration to all-IP communications environments is only picking up steam - including the adoption of Unified Communications and IP fax solutions. As businesses make the move, they will quickly find that, without an effective document management solution in place, they will quickly become overwhelmed with the time and effort it can take to sort through electronic documents.
Slowly but surely, the world's communications are moving onto IP networks, including the once-forgotten fax machine. Without exception, IP fax vendors are seeing surging interest in their products, for a variety of reasons. Perhaps the biggest reason is existing analog fax equipment continues to break down, and businesses are taking advantage and moving to IP fax.
IP fax provider Sagemcom has launched two new Ricoh Connectors to enable organizations to connect their Ricoh Multifunction Printers (MFPs) to the Sagemcom XMediusFAX Favor over IP (FoIP) server technology or OpenLine PR Server fax and document management solution.
This launch is expected to enable companies to leverage best-in-class fax-oriented functions directly from the Ricoh MFP user interface. The Sagemcom connectors are designed to embellish the standard capabilities of the Ricoh MFPs to extend feature-rich IP fax and document management capabilities throughout the organization.
Sagemcom, a world leader in broadband terminals, convergence and energy solutions, recently took a trip to Orlando, Fla., to announce that its XMediusFAX Fax over IP (FoIP) software (releases 6.5 and up) had successfully completed interoperability testing with Cisco Unified Communication Manager (CUCM) 8.5 and Cisco's Unity Connection 8.5 voice messaging and UM solution. The announcement was made at the Enterprise Connect show, held Feb. 28 to March 3.
Often - all too often, in fact - as businesses migrate from legacy to IP-based communications solutions, the fax is left behind. Until, that is, they realize what some claim to be an antiquated medium is actually a key part of today's communications infrastructures, enabling the delivery of contracts, bills, official notification letters and legal documentation. However, planning ahead, smart businesses can alleviate any gaps in their ability to function normally by including IP fax capabilities when deploying new IP-based communications infrastructures.
Sagemcom, a major player in advanced IP fax server solutions, introduced 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.
Anyone who has been following IT trends for awhile is probably familiar with the refrain, Fax is dead. Long live fax! The fact that people still use fax, given all the communications technology innovations developed in the past 20 or so years, might seem surprising. Yet, it's true.
Sagemcom, a global leader in boardless SIP/IP fax, continues to work closely with AudioCodes, Ltd., a manufacturer of advance Voice over IP (VoIP) and converged VoIP and data networking products and applications to service providers and enterprises.

Best Practices for IP Fax Design Fax technology has not gone the way of the bag phone and is in fact still an important communication tool within the business sector. The challenge, however, has been in ensuring fax communications integrate seamlessly in an all-IP world.
Believe it or not, the fax market is booming. That same technology that demanded you feed the paper along the rollers and dialed a phone number so the person on the other end would receive a "picture" of the document is still very much a part of the office environment today. The only difference is that many companies are moving away from the standalone, analog fax to a networked solution that integrates into their all-IP environment.
While you may have never imagined you would hear these words combined with fax technology; if you take a closer look you will understand the approach. Sagemcom truly brings value to the enterprise network with its fax over IP solutions.
Sagemcom takes a completely different approach with its IP fax offerings, demonstrating to the enterprise how its solutions do so much more for your enterprise at a fraction of the cost and complexity - which really can have you considering the technology: sexy cool.
Unified Communications (UC) as a communications platform is gaining in adoption as organizations throughout the global marketplace are realizing the financial and operational benefits of integrating multiple communications technologies on a single, IP-based platform, including IP fax.
As IP networks and VoIP adoption expands and traditional PSTN phone services change, businesses with paper-intensive processes are increasingly looking to Fax over IP (FoIP) as part of their solution.
Sagemcom's OpenLine PR Server has been enhanced to offer a full range of new features, including Microsoft application-certified integration with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Unified Messaging (UM), Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2.
Advanced IP fax server solutions provider, Sagemcom has entered a reseller agreement with IKON Office Solutions Inc., a Ricoh company and provider of innovative document management solutions and services
The role of the fax machine is just as important today as it was 10 years ago. The main difference between the enterprise then and the enterprise now is the likelihood to be operating on an all-IP platform.
The one product or service the market is most in need of is reliable IP fax service and the only way Unified Communications will go mainstream is when everyone is connected on the cloud.
Fax continues to play a strategic and mission-critical role in the evolving communication landscape in which customers are migrating from traditional faxing to IP network implementations that build on the concept of unified communications.
During Sagemcom's recent exhibit at Cisco Live 2010, the IP fax company interviewed CCIE engineers and fax experts and Cisco Press authors David Hanes and Gonzalo Salgueiro of the "Fax, Modem,and Text for IP Telephony" book.
Integration between Microsoft Exchange 2010 and XMediusFAX ensures users can benefit from such features as outbound faxing, fax archiving, process automation and advanced inbound routing.
Today, fax technology is integrated into the all-IP network to allow users to send and receive faxes from their desktop, archive faxed documents in an online document management system and reduce overall time involved in the activities necessary to communicate through fax.
The Cisco Developer Network has gained a new member in Sagemcom as a solution developer within the Integrated Services Router (ISR) and Unified Communications (UC) technology categories.
Faxing capabilities within the enterprise are an important communication channel, whether it is communication within the organization or to customers and partners outside of the organization.
Given Cisco's positioning in the global market, Sagemcom's relationship with this leading provider helps to promote the implementation of advanced IP fax server solutions, such as the XMediusFAX, within the framework of Cisco's Developer Network.

The Green Benefits IP Fax Sagem-Interstar takes paper-based faxing to digital platforms in order to significantly reduce overall paper usage and generate environmental benefits.
The ideal solution to integrate fax technology in an all-IP environment is to incorporate fax over IP into the network design.
In the process of moving to this UC environment, the IP fax capability is often overlooked, or is an after-thought in the process.
When implementing a FoIP solution, the project should go through four stages, including initiation, planning, execution and monitor/control.
While Fax over Internet Protocol (FoIP) can deliver significant benefits, not all decision makers understand the integration or when to pull the trigger on implementation.
At Interop 2010, TMCnet had the opportunity to speak with a number of key industry players including Sagem Interstar.
Advanced fax solutions for IP networks provider Sagem-Interstar has announced that its XMediusFAX software only T.38 FoIP server solutions are now compliant with key IP telephony solutions from Avaya.

Indeed, according to a recent survivability guide white paper from XMediusFAX, this is where the fundamental business value of fax is clear - "its well-established wide ranging benefits including low costs, format insensitivity, ubiquity and global standardization as well as transport velocity, security, and general robustness."
During a podcast interview that's available here, Sagem-Interstar's Sabrina Stratford addressed the issue of how a company knows it's ready to move to document management. No matter what the vertical, Stratford said, they typically see their customers "advance through the same three stages."
Recently, TMC had a chance to sit down and talk with Sabrina Stratford, Strategic Partner Manager at IP fax vendor Sagem-Interstar. Stratford addressed the topics of which segment of the enterprise Open Line fits into, and the value of Open Line vis-à-vis other similar appliances available on the market.
As the technology surrounding telecommunications continues to advance and enterprises throughout the world move toward an all IP environment, the placement of the fax and supporting technology seem to be an after-thought. In some environments, it is believed to be obsolete; in reality, it is very much a needed and demanded communication channel that companies must make a priority in order to support streamlined communications.
At this year's ITEXPO East 2010 in Miami, whose counterpart ITEXPO West will take part in October in Los Angeles, key providers within the IP fax space sat down together to discuss the reality that fax is still a key point of communication.
A number of companies are recognizing that document management solutions must include fax capabilities in order to maximize their value for the organization. While organizations throughout the world have implemented a pure IP networking solution, many still need the ability to fax, either within the current infrastructure or with clients.
The idea of faxing over a Voice over Internet Protocol connection opens up a world of connectivity possibilities for a wide variety of industries. Sagem-Interstar is one company leading the pack on solutions that are designed to meet the growing needs within these and other industries and deliver IP fax and document management solutions companies of today need for tomorrow.
Recently, TMCnet spoke with Sagem-Interstar's Sabrina Stratford, strategic partner manager, to discuss customers' need for traditional fax interfaces and documentation and business process.
It's a more widespread issue than you might realize.
Recently, TMCnet's Kelly McGuire sat down at the ITEXPO East 2010 in Miami to speak with Sagem-Interstar's Communications' Strategic Partner Manager Sabrina Stratford about the hardware side of the IP fax products her company sells.
"There are so many small businesses who are analog right now, but they know they're going to have to go to VoIP systems," Stratford said during the video interview.
Searching for a new IP fax solution isn't the easiest of chores. With so many options, companies are often unsure which service to choose.
Sagem-Intestar, an IP fax server seller, recently introduced two new fax solutions to the marketplace - its XMediusFAX 6.5 software suite and the Open Line IP fax server hardware application. But how do companies know what service is right for them?

When it comes to deploying IP fax services, many users aren't too concerned with the intricacies of the technology. Most companies want to ensure the service works, and that it works well.
Officials with Sagem-Interstar, a provider of IP fax server solutions, said there are a number of technical aspects vendors follow to offer flawless IP fax service. But to achieve a Unified Messaging or UM integration from Microsoft Corp., vendors have a higher threshold to meet, Matthew Miller, product manager for Sagem-Interstar, explained in a TMCnet podcast.
With constant technological advancements happening in the communications technology industry, it's no wonder that more and more businesses are paying closer attention to high-definition voice features in IP communications products and services. While the possibilities may be exciting, it takes time to develop the right specifications to meet companies needs, according to a Montreal, Canada-based provider of advanced fax server solutions for IP networks.
As the popularity of IP fax grows and new advancements with the technology hit the marketplace, traditional fax servers, including TDM/analog-based, are fading fast. And companies like IP fax solutions providers Sagem-Interstar are taking advantage of the rising interest, offering users new services to
Despite the recession, the company reported "substantial" growth over the last year, John Nikolopoulos, director, marketing and product management, Sagem-Interstar, told, TMCnet in an interview, printed in full below.
Companies interested IP fax sometimes get lost in the terminology and jargon that supports the technology. While many just simply want to send and receive their faxes, the industry has a lot more to offer users.
Matthew Miller, product manager for Sagem-Interstar, recently talked about the differences between a standard Microsoft Exchange 2010 integration and Microsoft Exchange 2010 UM integration.
