Natural Data Asia & Microsoft Taiwan Announce Marketing
Partnership to Promote Innovative NOAH eDocument Delivery
Solution with Microsoft Exchange Server
TAIPEI, Taiwan--May 17, 2004--Natural Data Asia today announced
a marketing partnership with Microsoft Taiwan to promote its
flagship NOAH eDocument Delivery solution with Microsoft Exchange
Server. NOAH effectively turns paper into email by connecting
traditional fax machines and copying documents as email attachments.
“We are very pleased to be working with Microsoft Taiwan
to promote the benefits of eDocument Delivery by fax,”
said Peter Kuo, Managing Director, Natural Data Asia. “NOAH
makes traditional fax machines behave like Microsoft email
clients. Now all Microsoft Exchange users can take advantage
of the enormous productivity benefits provided by fax email.”
NOAH can simplify fax workflow by using existing email for
routing while reducing traditional fax costs up to 50 per
cent.
The Company’s proprietary technology enables fax machines
to ‘think’ NOAH is the telephone company while
NOAH ‘thinks’ fax machines are network devices.
The combination delivers unique capabilities to route important
print documents as PDFs or TIFF images to information systems,
other fax machines, printers, and mobile devices. NOAH can
automatically move paper documents directly from remote or
internal fax machines to Microsoft Exchange inboxes and folders.
The faxed documents can be routed departmentally or globally
using the Internet, email, PSTN and DID numbers.
As faxing continues to be the primary electronic means of
remotely exchanging printed documents of a ‘material
nature’, recent government and financial industry regulations
(Sarbanes-Oxley Act) have created an imperative to integrate,
manage and archive facsimile with other corporate messaging
such as email. Analysts predict that companies may have to
spend as much as US$1 million on compliance efforts for every
$1 billion in revenue. As a result, new opportunities exist
to allow seamless, auditable, and secure management of fax
documents with other corporate data. Natural Data’s
NOAH copies and archives all inbound and outbound fax traffic,
even failed attempts. NOAH also provides transaction logs
for local fax, PSTN, DID, and Internet Fax Gateway Services.
Fax image files are compressed and identified by the NOAH
FBX adapter serial number, port number, and the CSID number
for ‘compliance grade’ authentication.
“Natural Data NOAH provides an effective onramp to
Microsoft Exchange for traditional fax machine communications,”
said Cathy Yeh, Managing Director Microsoft Taiwan. “Best
of all, users don’t have to change their behaviour to
fully harness the power of its fax to email integration.”
About NOAH
NOAH comprises a 32-bit PCI Adapter with onboard processor
and software. Each adapter can be configured for LocalFax,
PSTN, and DID line support. NOAH operates with Microsoft Windows,
Microsoft Windows Server 2003, and Microsoft Fax Services.
NOAH’s Facsimile Archiving Manager is capable of monitoring
and auditing all inbound and desktop faxing. The solution
comes with an XML API for integration with mission critical
applications and supports archiving on CD, DVD, tape back
up or CAS. Using Fax-over-IP (“FoIP”) transport
NOAH can dramatically reduce management and communications
costs by eliminating the need for dedicated phone lines and
equipment, while using the Internet to eliminate long distance
charges.
