Welcome to 2009!

March 5th, 2009

It’s no secret that 2009 will be a challenging year for all of us. But, as they say, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. At Instant InfoSystems, we plan to buck the trend of this downturn and ramp up our product offerings and value added services to help you face the challenges of today’s tough economy.

Here are just a few of things you’ll see in early 2009:

New Online Training We start this New Year by offering instructor led Online Training courses for RightFax. You will get the same hands-on experience you would get in our training facility, but without the need to travel and incur added expenses. To review the course schedule, or register for training, go here.

Instant Insight™ We have recently launched Instant Insight™ Managed Services for RightFax. Instant Insight™ monitors critical components of the RightFax environment and provides proactive knowledge of a problem that may be occurring, in many cases before the end users are impacted. The result is minimal downtime and resolution of the incident with little or no human intervention. For more information about Instant Insight, go here.

IIS Email Archiving Scorecard, version 2.0 Due to the overwhelming response to our in-depth technical evaluation of the leading email archiving products, we have developed version 2.0 of this useful tool with an evaluation of additional features such as Ingestion Rates and  Search Return Rates. These features will help you determine how quickly the products can archive and search email data in your environment.

New Website In early 2009, we will launch our new user friendly website with the latest information in Enterprise  Message Management technology and resources to help you make quick, informed decisions.

Of course, in addition to these new products and services, you can count on Instant InfoSystems to continue providing you with the superior level of customer service you’ve come to expect from us, and the expertise you need to integrate technology products into your environment. We are very excited for 2009, and hope these new products and services will help you reduce costs and improve productivity across your organization—two priorities at any time, but particularly in these tough times!

Sincerely,

David Klein, CEO

OTFS 9.4 (formerly RightFax) Offers Expanded Support for Virtualized Environments and FoIP

The new features in Open Text Fax Server 9.4 (OTFS 9.4) are designed to help customers reduce costs, increase compliance, improve document processing and enhance integrations. Customers will benefit from expanded support for virtualized environments, improved optical character recognition (OCR) performance, and easier administration through simplified installation and enhanced auditing capabilities.

Feature Enhancements Include:

Extended support for the latest technologies and protocols—including T.38 Fax over IP, virtualization, Microsoft Active Directory 2008, and IP v6. RightFax 9.4 allows for Fax over IP failover in multi-gateway environments and supports VMware ESX server 3.0.1 or higher.

Improved OCR performance with a more powerful engine that advances character recognition and routing accuracy.

Simplified installation via unassisted online product licensing and Microsoft Active Directory 2008 user synchronization.

Increased reliability with RightFax client FaxUtil fail-over in a shared services environment.

Enhanced administrative auditing capabilities via Enterprise Fax Reporter, a new tool that records time and responsible party for user and group additions, modifications or deletions and improves reporting query performance.

Improved client functionality including additional language support for Web access

Open Text Fax Server (RightFax) 9.4 also uses a new activation system. The new activation system provides customers with greater control over their system maintenance and offers a faster installation or upgrade experience due to a much shorter activation process.

Now is a great time to upgrade to the latest version of RightFax. Please contact your IIS Account Manager or email us at info@instantinfo.com for details.

 

RightFax Tech Tip

Deleting Image Files When Using Fax Aging

Fax aging has become an important issue to some of our customers. In RightFax 9.3 FP1b HF1 or higher, when using fax aging, the record of the fax is deleted. However, the image file still remains. This change in functionality is documented in the updated administrator’s guide (Page 259).

If you want to delete the image file, please add the registry key:

Under HKLM\Software\RightFax\FaxServer, add a DWORD key named DeleteImagesOnPurge. Set the value to 0.

The services must be restarted for the change to take effect. This will not delete prior image files that would have been aged prior to the change, so these must be deleted via command prompt or Orphan.
