Highlights - Captaris(R) RightFax(R) compatible with key Avaya IP telephony solutions - Proven integration helps Avaya customers leverage investments to use the premiere RightFax Fax over IP solution BELLEVUE, Wash., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Captaris, Inc. (NASDAQ:CAPA), a leading provider of software products that automate document-centric processes, today announced Captaris(R) RightFax(R) is compliant with key Internet Protocol (IP) telephony solutions from Avaya, a leading global provider of business communications applications, systems and services. Tested integration provides a straight-forward, proven route for Avaya customers to leverage their IP infrastructure and the leading Fax over IP solution from Captaris RightFax, the market leader in document delivery and fax software. Captaris RightFax enables companies to deliver business information from virtually any application via fax, email, print devices or over the Internet. RightFax is now compliance-tested by Avaya for compatibility with Avaya Communications Manager. For testing, faxes were transmitted exercising the T.38 Fax over IP operation between RightFax and Avaya Communications Manager. "As a certified, interoperable solution, RightFax enables businesses to uncover new possibilities for leveraging their communications infrastructure, more specifically, to incorporate Fax over IP quickly, easily and cost-effectively," said Paul Yantus, executive vice president of marketing and new product development for Captaris. "Tested compliance is further evidence that Captaris is extending its foremost position in the Fax over IP space." One of the companies benefiting from the interoperability of RightFax and Avaya solutions is Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal, a law firm headquartered in Chicago. For security and fault tolerance, Sonnenschein leveraged its Avaya PBX and connected a remote mirrored RightFax fax server to the WAN via IP. "RightFax provided ease of integration into the Avaya FoIP infrastructure for Sonnenschein," noted Mike Cooley, CEO of Exucom, a Captaris Platinum partner and Chicago-based solutions provider retained by the law firm. "Certified compliance helps to expedite the integration process and realization of cost-savings for other organizations that wish to send and receive faxes on their Avaya IP network," he said. Captaris is a Gold member of the Avaya DevConnect program -- an initiative to develop, market and sell innovative third-party products that interoperate with Avaya technology and extend the value of a company's investment in its network. Captaris is eligible to submit products for compatibility testing by the Avaya Solution Interoperability and Test Lab in Lincroft, N.J. There a team of Avaya engineers develops a comprehensive test plan for each application to verify whether it is Avaya compliant.
