GFI FaxMaker is a fax server that allows users to send and receive faxes and SMS/text messages directly from their email client. GFI FaxMaker can save each fax digitally for easier finding and filing and it reduces the time spent sending, collecting and distributing faxes. It supports Fax over IP (FoIP) and integrates with IP-enabled PABXs, and Brooktrout's SR 140 technology to send faxes over an IP Telephony Network. New in FaxMaker 2013 is support for fax services - either GFI Online Fax Services or etherFAX. With a fax service there's no need for phone lines or expensive fax boards.
No burden on the administrator
GFI FaxMaker is easy to install, requires little maintenance and integrates with existing messaging clients and customised solutions.
Seamless integration with existing business processes
GFI FaxMaker integrates with your mail server, allowing users to send and receive faxes and SMS/text messages using their email client. The company can also search for and back up all faxes in the same way as emails are stored and retrieved on the network.
Active Directory integration reduces administration
GFI FaxMaker for Exchange/SMTP/Lotus was designed from the ground up to minimise its administration. It integrates with Active Directory and therefore does not require the administration of a separate fax user database. User-related settings can be applied to Windows users or groups directly.
Supports Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino and other SMTP servers
GFI FaxMaker integrates with Exchange Server via a standard Exchange SMTP connector. There are no schema updates to Active Directory. This makes GFI FaxMaker scalable and indifferent to new Exchange service packs and versions. GFI FaxMaker can be installed on the Exchange server or on a separate machine, in which case no software has to be installed on the Exchange server itself! GFI FaxMaker also integrates with Lotus Domino and other popular SMTP servers.
Send a fax from any application
To send a fax, users print from their word processor to the GFI FaxMaker printer, or create a new message in their email client (for example, Outlook or Outlook Web Access).
Fax over IP (FOIP) support
With the optional Brooktrout SR140 host based module or TE-SYSTEMS' XCAPI, GFI FaxMaker integrates with your existing IP PBX or with T.38 SIP providers to offer Fax over IP (FOIP) without any additional hardware requirements.
Automated fax delivery/inbound fax routing
GFI FaxMaker can automatically route incoming faxes to the user¿s mailbox or to a particular printer based on a DID/DDI/DTMF number or the line on which the fax was received. Faxes can also be forwarded to a public folder or assigned to a network printer per installed fax port.
