Now Available: FastFax/Enterprise 4.7.3

FastFax, an IBM ServerProven solution, improves user efficiency and saves overhead costs by replacing manual fax machines with secure batch and interactive faxing from within any major business application. FastFax can be used separately or in conjunction with Quadrant Software’s PPM solution IntelliChief suite including Formatter, Formtastic, and E-Mail Gateways.

FastFax replaces manual fax machines with secure batch and interactive faxing from the IBM System i (iSeries 400) running mission-critical business applications such as Infor XA, BPCS, PRMS, JD Edwards, among others. FastFax products allow users to transmit, receive, and centrally manage their faxes and emails directly from their desktop.

Enhancements for FastFax/Enterprise V4.7.3 include:

Job/Document Tracking and Report
A new audit feature allows for tracking and reporting of all jobs and documents that are processed through FastFax. Users are now able to keep a complete record of documents processed and sent over to other applications for print, archival or delivery.

Utility and Imager Recovery
A recovery function now controls those programs and takes over in case of system instability preventing the server from crashing. This added stability feature is completely transparent to the user and improves FastFax’s ability to recover from potential crashes.

Support for Email Batches and Attachments
FastFax’s LAN API, used to automate the sending of faxes outside the System i (iSeries) environment, now supports sending emails in batches and attaching files as TIFF, PDF, or in their native format (e.g. DOC, XLS, etc.) without user intervention.

Improved Flexibility for Working with Parameter Files
The new version 4.7.3 now allows for setting up different folders where the parameter files can be saved and increased security by allowing the setup of restricted network folders. FastFax/LAN will then log on to these folders using the appropriate userID and password and process the parameter files. In addition to that, those files that have been processed are automatically removed from the folders and archived, thus improving processing speed.

Miscellaneous Upgrades for all products in the FastFax Family:

1. Additional support for the Email SMTP Gateways product allows users to send their faxes as emails even if their clients are setup for composing messages in HTML format.
2. Support for MS Exchange 2007.
3. Support for Windows 2003 64 bit OS for Terminal Services and all versions of Windows 2003 - standard, enterprise, standard R2, enterprise R2.
4. Support 64 bit Operational Systems on file servers (Windows 2003 64 bit).
5. Now using Brooktrout’s SDK 5.1.3 which includes several fixes from Brooktrout for systems using their high production fax cards.
6. Additional minor miscellaneous fixes were applied.
