Bellevue, Wash. — November 14, 2006 — Captaris, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAPA), a leading provider of software products that automate document-centric business processes, today announced the release of Captaris RightFax 9.3 Feature Pack 1. The latest version of the world’s leading fax server and electronic document delivery solution includes new support for Cantata Technology’s Brooktrout SR140™, a software-based, real-time Fax-over-IP (FoIP) platform.
The combined RightFax-Brooktrout solution enables companies to slash the total cost of faxing by:
- easing deployment with an all-software fax server solution;
- unifying voice, fax and data communication onto a single IP network;
- eliminating fax machines and consumables by leveraging multifunction peripherals with RightFax;
- centralizing and consolidating fax services to reduce remote administration costs.
“We are pleased to partner with the worldwide leader in fax server software and together help our mutual customers take advantage of the significant benefits of a software-only IP fax solution,” said Marc Zionts, CEO of Cantata Technology. “We have enjoyed a long-standing relationship with Captaris and look forward to continuing our partnership and developing the market for IP fax servers.”
“The Brooktrout SR140 and RightFax are a great combination for today's VoIP-enabled IT shops,” said George Lawlor, Professional Services Manager for Informa Software, a Captaris partner. “We can now provide a boardless solution that enables the customer to use space-saving blade servers and to easily add more fax capacity as needed.” Lawlor continued “This solution opens up a significant new market opportunity for us, as we can now offer a fax solution that takes advantage of the benefits of IP technology to enable organizations to standardize on and manage one fax system throughout their entire organization.“
RightFax also supports Cantata’s Brooktrout TR1034™ FoIP-enabled intelligent fax board.

RightFax 9.3 Feature Pack 1 is scheduled for general availability this month. Cantata’s Brooktrout FoIP products are also available through Captaris partners.
