Faximum Client/Server is a fax software package for UNIX workstations.
It allows users to send faxes directly from their workstation or X terminal without having to print the document first, without having to type up a cover sheet, without having to line up for the fax machine, and without having to nurse the document through the machine. Faximum cuts costs to make you more efficient and your company more profitable.
Faximum will also receive faxes that can be viewed on the workstation or X terminal and/or printed on plain paper using almost any laser or dot-matrix printer.
If you thought fax was wonderful, just wait until you try Faximum!
Faximum Cuts Costs
By automatically scheduling domestic and international faxes to be sent when the phone rates are lowest. By preventing unauthorised people from making long-distance calls; and by keeping detailed accounting records of each fax sent. By permitting a single modem and fax line to support both data and fax calls. By broadcasting price lists, special offers, or invoices without the cost or trouble of postage, envelopes, or stuffing.
Faximum Saves Time
No need to print messages and stand waiting in front of your printer before faxing them. No need to type up a cover sheet. No need to wait for the fax machine to become available; and no need to nurse the paper through the machine. No need to check for success or handle retries.
Faximum is quick and so easy to use
Users will start sending faxes of short notes instead of picking up the phone. And since fax calls are almost always shorter than voice calls, phone costs are further lowered.
Applications can easily be fax-enabled using the line print intercept which can capture the output of accounting and other applications and fax invoices or other documents (optionally overlaying invoice, letterhead, or other business form images) without any customisation or programming.
Finally, Faximum allows you to trace costs by providing detailed call accounting by user and project that can be tied to your CDR (call detail recording) or phone system accounting mechanism.
Almost any office that is concerned about their fax phone bill, the presentation quality of their faxes, or about the time and money wasted printing documents and then coaxing them through the office fax machine.
Accounting & Administration
Office workers will benefit from being able to send faxes without leaving their desks. Purchase Orders, Invoices, Confirmations, and Requests for Proposals can all be sent via fax directly from the operator's terminal. With our new line printer interface, your accounting program can feed invoices and other business documents directly to Faximum as if it were just another printer!
Take a moment to calculate the number of invoices your office sends out in a week. Multiply that by the number of stamps and envelopes that are used, and add in the cost of lost productivity of your employees as they shuffle paper, stuff envelopes, and "move the mail". The earlier your client gets the invoice, the sooner 30 days is up!
In addition, calculate the number of faxes that your office sends out in a week. What portion of those faxes are urgent, and what portion could wait until lower phone rates are available? Even today's most advanced fax machine can only delay, at most, 50 pages of fax material all of which has to be fed into the machine manually. With Faximum's Intelligent Delayed Transmission (IDT) the user specifies if the fax is urgent, can wait, or should be sent at the lowest cost.
There is no limit to the number of faxes that can be queued for later transmission. Selecting least cost ensures that when the greatest discount period is in effect for that particular destination, the fax will be sent at that time. All this without operator intervention.
Significant cost savings can also be realized by taking advantage of our exclusive Least-Cost Routing (LCR) feature. Least-cost routing is the ability to select the telephone line that is the least expensive for a given destination. For example, a multi-line installation might have a normal long-distance (DDD) line, a foreign exchange line into another city, and several WATS (wide-area telephone service) lines into different regions of the country. With least-cost routing, Faximum will automatically determine the line that is cheapest for each call.
Sales & Marketing
Professional sales people who need to send sales literature by fax will benefit not only from the convenience and immediacy but also from the desktop publishing quality of Faximum-generated faxes. Organizations invest a lot of time and money in creating documents to have the greatest impact on their clients. Imagine the sales edge that your organization will have over the competition, when laser printer quality documents, complete with pictures, graphs, diagrams, and schematics, are delivered to your client's desk, at the same time as you are speaking to your client! Intangibles and concepts instantly become hard-copy facts.
Using Faximum further benefits those organizations that send faxes to many people at once. Broadcast a new price list or other announcement to just ten or even ten thousand fax machines. The number of lines you may use is limited only by your hardware.
Companies that need to send sales literature by fax will benefit from the desktop publishing quality of Faximum-generated faxes. By generating the fax image in the memory of the computer and sending it directly to the other fax machine, Faximum generates faxes that are clearer and sharper than anything that can be sent using a standard fax machine. The result out of the other fax machine is just like desktop publishing.
People who have to broadcast a new price list or other announcement whether to ten or a thousand fax machines will benefit from the broadcast capabilities of Faximum.
Managers will benefit from the lower telephone costs that result from the automatic scheduling and least-cost routing.
Software developers will benefit from the easy integration of Faximum with their software, permitting invoices, statements, or other computer-generated forms to be faxed automatically.
There is just no comparison. Faximum is as far ahead of the traditional office fax machine as desktop publishing is ahead of the manual typewriter.
