Canon gives voice to the MFP
The multifunction printer (MFP) is now a VOIP fax terminal following a partnership between Canon and MESSAGEmanager Solutions in Australia.
Canon MFP users are now able to send and receive VOIP faxes via email, desktop, MFPs and CRM and ERP applications.
MESSAGEmanager Fax IP fax software complies with the T.38 standard enabling facsimiles to be sent and received reliably over IP networks.’
Luke Maddison, Senior Product Manager - Business Solutions, Canon Australia said: “Professions such as finance, government and legal, still rely heavily on fax as a legally binding and essential means of communication. Businesses are converting to IP Fax software at an increasing rate to take advantage of the associated cost savings and efficiencies.
“MESSAGEmanager provides businesses with a centralised enterprise fax solution which is effortlessly managed at a remote site, resulting in lower operating costs and increased efficiencies.”
Integrating with Canon’s imageRUNNER ADVANCE platform and its software products such as uniFLOW Output Manager and eCopy, MESSAGEmanager automates document workflows and streamline labour-intensive and document-heavy processes.
It includes tracking, logging and archiving of inbound and outbound faxes, integrating them into a Document and Content Management Solution. This aids in business compliance as the fax solution allows IT departments to electronically tailor how faxes are accepted, routed, audited and archived.
