to boost its sme offering with internet fax capabilities
The Partnership Joining Venali and Alcatel Provides Customers the Ease
and Flexibility of a Complete
IP Fax Solution with Less Investment
MIAMI, Fl. (February 19,
2002) - Venali, a premier provider of innovative eMessaging solutions,
today announced
it has joined the Alcatel Application Partner Program, which seeks industry
leading software vendors and service providers to expand the functionality
of OmniPCX integrated "e-communications" appliance for small
and medium enterprises. Together, the two companies can offer Alcatel
resellers and customers a secure IP desktop fax solution that integrates
seamlessly with OmniPCX products.
Adding fax-over-IP (FoIP) features to Alcatel's OmniPCX provides small- to medium-sized companies with significant advantages. FoIP is more efficient and cost-effective than traditional fax servers and dedicated phone lines. Company administrators can now, for the first time, easily evaluate, set up and deploy a corporate desktop IP fax solution, without the need for any fax boards, phone lines or other additional components. With Venali, deployment is as simple as the implementation of any other off-the-shelf business tools. No additional fax hardware, software, phone lines, installation, training or maintenance is required.
"It's essential for businesses to send and receive documents - such as purchase orders, delivery receipts, and invoices to and from customers, vendors or employees quickly and effectively", said Amin El-Gazzar, Venali CEO and President. "By incorporating document-based secure IP fax services into OmniPCX products, Alcatel resellers can offer a flexible, economical and highly scalable fax solution to customers."
With Alcatel's OmniPCX, users can send documents from their PC to fax machines worldwide, receive faxes into their email inbox and retrieve and archive faxed documents, just like emails. This improves business productivity and resource management by decreasing the number of messaging tools.
"Venali is a superior Internet fax service provider leveraging evolving technologies over a reliable, global fax network," said Mark Truhlar, VP of the Alcatel Applications Partner Program. "The ability to integrate into an existing infrastructure and offer our customers a total document delivery system that is both easy to evaluate and install, without incurring additional expenses, was crucial in choosing Venali as our partner."
This solution is available now through the Alcatel Application Partner Program. To learn more, visit www.alcatel.venali.com.
