Software Features

Zetafax fax server software provides a range of features that help increase the efficiency of your staff, as well as reducing costs. Its server client architecture enables from five to thousands of users in an organization to send and receive faxes from their desktops via a centrally managed server. Download our “All About Zetafax” detailed features and technical information document for more information.

Fax directly from your office network

Faxing direct from your office network not only eliminates the cost of stationery and fax consumables, but is 80% quicker than using a standard fax machine. The resulting time savings can save thousands per year. See how much you could save with Zetafax with our ROI calculator.


Fax over Internet Protocol (FoIP)

With more and more companies extending their IP infrastructure to include voice, adoption of FoIP is growing rapidly. By bringing traditional phone applications into the data network, data and communication resources can be consolidated by using the internet and company networks for cost-effective voice and fax communications. Read more about this technology in our guide to Fax over IP.


Integration with IP phone systems

Zetafax also provides integration with your IP phone system, saving the cost of installing separate phone lines for the use by the fax Server by using it to fax directly. Zetafax also supports a range of media gateways that will manage communication between the phone system and the IP network, and communication over the PSTN to enable compatibility with traditional fax machines.

Integrated faxing from within existing applications

Zetafax increases user efficiency by allowing documents to be sent directly from the everyday business software that they use. You can therefore send and receive faxes using Outlook® or Lotus® Notes out-of-the-box, or integrate with ERP, CRM and other applications.

Fax archive for quick retrieval

Zetafax automatically archives documentation in a central electronic archive, improving productivity and supporting audit processes through fast retrieval of documents.


Automate delivery by email and fax

Where fax is not essential, Zetafax fax server software eliminates other costly manual processes by automating the delivery of content via email. Content held on paper and in different electronic formats can be merged into `print quality` electronic documents and delivered automatically by email and fax. It cuts stationery costs and speeds up processes like sending sales quotations, invoices and statements. Watch a video on Zetafax Duo (10MB download) or download the Zetafax Duo datasheet.


Fax broadcasting

The specialist Zetafax FaxBroadcast solution is an option for businesses that send regular fax mail shots and need a cost effective solution. It provides a specialist client for importing data from ODBC databases and an enhanced server for delivering faster fax throughput. Read more about fax broadcasting.


Send and receive SMS from the desktop

The Zetafax SMS Gateway allows you to send text messages directly from the desktop to customers' mobile handsets, either immediately or at a pre-defined future time. Learn more about sending and receiving SMS from your PC.


Automatic fax routing to desktops

Faxes can be routed automatically to individuals' desktops in TIFF or PDF format, using DDI, DID and DTMF. They can also be routed to departments, network printers or standalone fax machines. Optionally, all inbound faxes can be converted to PDF for easy viewing by users without fax viewing software.


Support for server virtualization

Businesses using virtualized server environments can enable the Zetafax server in the same environment to provide protection against computer hardware failure. The Zetafax server can be moved onto another physical computer quickly and easily, avoiding the need for a separate failover server just for fax.

Zetafax supports VMware® servers using VMware ESX or ESXi, the vSphere suite, or Microsoft Hyper-V. The full server feature set is supported, so users are unable to distinguish between a server running under VMware and one running on a native operating system. Read more about fax server virtualization.


Route to network folder

Inbound faxes can be routed to a network folder based on the recipient's fax number, where faxes can be dropped as TIFF files, or automatically converted to PDFs. Network drop folders provide an easy method to integrate Zetafax with third party applications.


Integrates with specialized systems such as CRM and accounting software

The Zetafax Automation Toolkit offers developers a rapid way of adding fax capability to in-house applications. Integrating Zetafax fax software with your CRM or accounting package, for example, could save your business significant time and money. The Zetafax Automation Toolkit is designed for Visual Basic and C++/COM programmers and is fully supported by our technical team to ensure the integration process goes smoothly.

Options include analogue and digital intelligent fax boards from Cantata/Brooktrout and Dialogic/Eicon, most digital and analogue V.34 modems and fax over IP (FoIP) software.  Read more about Zetafax hardware and FoIP options.
