"While expanding upon the capabilities of RightFax servers, the latest features of RightFax 10.5 offers businesses new ways to fax while giving them an opportunity to meet and exceed their goals for cost savings and increased productivity. We are especially excited by our initiatives to take advantage of the OpenText Cloud and to leverage the EasyLink expertise."

Setting the Industry Standard for Speed and Security

The new RightFax Internet Connector marks a significant change in the face of the fax market by offering businesses tangible improvements to the way faxes are transmitted. By providing an internet connection point between two RightFax fax servers, the RightFax Internet Connector enables businesses to:

• Decrease the cost of fax transmission - The RightFax Internet Connector provides a non-telephony route to send faxes to other RightFax users. The fax is routed via the connector to another RightFax Fax Server anywhere in the world, eliminating telephony charges.
• Increase the speed of faxing - Because the fax is transmitted via the RightFax Internet Connector, businesses can now send hundreds of pages exponentially faster than via traditional faxing over the public switched network or PSTN.
• Improve security and privacy - With the RightFax Internet Connector, faxing has never been more secure. Each RightFax fax number used by the RightFax Internet Connector is individually registered and verified, helping to ensure that each number belongs to the intended recipient. Each fax transmission is also encrypted for higher information security and privacy. RightFax is the first solution ever to offer this level of rigor in authenticating fax numbers.

Powerful New Integration Capabilities

OpenText has long been a market leader in providing the most current and extensive set of application and device connectors. RightFax 10.5 expands on this collection with the latest updates:

• New interface - A Web Services API is now available to integrate with RightFax for custom applications independent of vendor, platform, and language.
• OpenText eDOCS integration - An OpenText eDOCS connector is now available to support full functionality between OpenText eDOCS 5.3, OpenText's content management solution for law firms, and RightFax.
• New SAP integration - SAP Connector now includes Unicode support and System Landscape Directory (SLD) registration.  
• New MFP integrations - A new personalized, interactive connector is now available for Hewlett-Packard OXPd devices.

Clear, Easy-to-Use Communications

OpenText strives not only to provide its customers with the most innovative and powerful solutions on the market, but is also the easiest to use. While RightFax 10.5 maintains the original faxed image for compliancy and user familiarity, significant enhancements have been made to the product's look and feel, including:

• Image enhancements - RightFax now de-skews incoming fax images to help correct their orientation. In addition, images are de-noised to remove scan artifacts and transmission noise.
• Improved user interface - The overall look and feel of the RightFax FaxUtil, Web Client, and Enterprise Fax Manager have been redesigned and updated with new icons to provide a fresh look without changing the functionality to which users are accustomed.

Improved Performance and Scalability

RightFax 10.5 offers businesses several new enhancements that help improve performance and scalability in any RightFax environment.

• New hierarchical image file storage - Each fax images is stored in its own individual subfolder, facilitating consistent server performance over time.
• Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) for outbound faxes - RightFax now leverages MSMQ for scheduling and delivering outbound faxes, which efficiently processes high volumes of documents, and allows full scalability and utilization of RightFax licensed channels.
