FaxCore is gearing up to announce a new product designed to add fax management capabilities within Microsoft’s SharePoint Portal Server. According to the company, the FaxCore SharePoint Connector will integrate with the SharePoint Portal Server, enabling fax indexing through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) — making faxes text-searchable. Previously, faxes on the SharePoint Portal Server could only be viewed as images and not indexed for users to retrieve.

 

Tom Linhard, Director of Channel Sales for FaxCore, Inc., spoke of the added benefits of this new offering. “In addition to fax indexing,” he said, “this new offering includes the capability to deliver faxes into designated SharePoint Document Libraries, making documents like purchase orders, sales invoices and contracts easily accessible by appropriate personnel.”

 

Additional features include security and access enhancements, and the ability to keep an audit trail on received faxes.
