OpenText, maker of the RightFax fax server, is a preferred ShoreTel technology partner due its reputation for innovative and cost-effective faxing solutions. And thanks to this ongoing collaboration, ShoreTel’s VoIP environment lends itself nicely to robust fax over IP (FoIP) integration with the RightFax fax server. This enables ShoreTel clients to make full use of their IP telephony investment while reducing reliance on PSTN fax transmission.

Why IP Faxing with ShoreTel?

Traditional analog lines are gone, and enterprise customers have long been abandoning them in favor of FoIP solutions (sometimes referred to as “VoIP fax” servers). Often, a primary driver for ShoreTel FoIP projects is the desire to consolidate faxing and other telecom services into the same UC environment. If executed well, the resulting network is more streamlined, more cost-effective, and far easier to manage.

Depending on the strengths and struggles of your current fax architecture, additional benefits will include:

  • Greatly enhanced security and privacy controls for faxed documents
  • Complete elimination of paper from all fax workflows
  • Inbound and outbound faxing from the desktop as well as virtually every application
  • Greater regulatory compliance and audit-readiness though a customizable fax audit trail

Please note that even relatively straightforward integrations like RightFax and ShoreTel may still require substantial fax server and telephony expertise to execute. Additionally, requirements depend on the customer’s specific product(s) and may change over time, so please contact a Paperless Productivity solutions architect to learn more about UC/PBX fax server options within your unique environment.
