a critica l requirement for many bus ines ses that need s ignatures , drawings , and other paper-bas ed content. In indus tries and
bus ines ses such as banking, hea lthcare, mortgage companies , and patent offices , faxes a re recognized as important lega l
documents and vita l to bus ines s operation. W ith Open T ext F ax S erver, R ightF ax E dition and E xchange S erver 2010, faxing

Microsoft E xchange S erver 2010 is now ava ilable for bus ines ses worldwide and will help organizations reduce cos ts ,
protect communications and improve user productivity. Open T ext F ax S erver is well-proven in the marketplace and
it gives cus tomers a fax solution that s eamles s ly connects with E xchange S erver 2010 Unified Mes s aging. W orking

Mes s aging forwards it to the Open T ext F ax S erver, which proces s es the document so it can be transmitted to and
viewed within Microsoft O ffice Outlook as a native fax mes s age. It then routes the fax through E xchange S erver to
the recipient's Outlook inbox. T he origina l fax appears as an e-mail a ttachment that a user can s elect and view. Users
can a lso s end e-mail mes s ages and attachments to the F ax S erver from their Outlook inbox for faxing to recipients
outs ide the enterpris e. A s ignificant advantage of Open T ext F ax S erver, is that faxes are digita lly protected, helping to
prevent los s or authorized viewing of documents . Logging and auditing features provide the ability to review and track
