RightFax 9.4 Sustaining Maintenance

RightFax 9.4 comes into Sustaining Maintenance on May 31st, 2014. At the end of May, OpenText, the manufacturer of RightFax, will no longer support RightFax Version 9.4. What does this all mean? Well, version 9.4 will certainly continue to work and, given the stability and reliability of the RightFax platform, will probably work well. In fact, it is very likely that you would have no idea that it is an unsupported version…until something goes wrong.

When OpenText no longer supports a version of RightFax, OpenText developers will no longer release subsequent patches or updates to fix any sort of problems that may arise with your RightFax environment. The lack of new updates and releases leaves your RightFax environment vulnerable to significant down time, which can be caused by even a simple Microsoft update. As any RightFax administrator or user knows, RightFax server down time can have a significant effect on customer or client relations.

Protect your RightFax investment and ensure that your fax server environment is as up-to-date as possible. While the RightFax experts at MyPaperlessFax will continue to support your unsupported RightFax environment, upgrading to RightFax Version 10.6 is the only way to ensure that your RightFax environment remains as sturdy and reliable as you’ve come to expect. Contact the RightFax experts at MyPaperlessFax to discuss an upgrade path that makes sense for you and your organization.

RightFax 9.4 Sustaining Maintenance

Pay attention, RightFax 9.4 users! RightFax v9.4 will be in “Sustaining Maintenance” on May 31st, 2013. Sustaining Maintenance means that the software version is no longer under maintenance or supported by OpenText (the manufacturer). Essentially, come June 1st of this year, RightFax 9.4 will effectively be retired in the eyes of RightFax developers and no patches nor version updates will ever be released again. Even the smallest changes to the RightFax environment, such as a Microsoft update, can result in significant downtime without the ability to apply a software patch. If you are still on version 9.4, you should consider exploring your upgrade options.

Upgrading from 9.4 not only protects your organization’s RightFax investment and ensures fax availability, but it also provides some great new features that improve end-user and admin faxing experience. These features include, but are not limited to:

  • Improved FaxUtil responsiveness
  • Enhanced FaxUtil client interface
  • Agnostic web client support
  • Support for Windows 7 and Windows 8
  • Even more server-side and client-side enhancements

While the RightFax experts at MyPaperlessFax will do their best to continue to support your existing v9.4 server solution, remaining on that version will leave your organization susceptible to issues moving forward. Upgrade to RightFax v10.5 and ensure that your fax server environment remains as robust and reliable as every.
