Biscom Emerges as Winner of Prestigious Network Computing Well-Connected Award
FAXCOM 7000 enterprise fax server earns best-of-breed distinction
Chelmsford, MA (May 19, 2000) - Biscom today announced that its FAXCOM 7000 fax server has
been named the winner of the Network Computing Well-Connected Award for the year 2000 in the category
of Network Fax Servers. The FAXCOM 7000 fax server was selected on the basis of real-world lab tests
for its ease of use by end user and system manager, expandability, and functionality to win the
Well-Connected Award. The FAXCOM 7000 fax server bested the two other finalists, Rightfax by AVT
and Faxpress from Castelle.
"We are particularly satisfied with this award because it demonstrates the superiority of our servers
in the arena that matters most-one where product evaluations are determined by actual usage tests,"
says Chris Mackenzie, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Biscom. "We are glad
the media is recognizing what our customers have always known, that FAXCOM servers offer superior
performance, functionality, and reliability."
Biscom's FAXCOM 7000 fax server simultaneously supports multiple networks, operating systems and
applications such as Windows 2000/NT, Lotus Domino, MS Exchange/Outlook, SMTP, AS/400, ERP
systems, Novell NetWare, GroupWise, NDS, and IBM Mainframes. FAXCOM servers add fax capabilities
to both desktop and host-based applications simultaneously, streamlining workflow by incorporating
fax into the communications infrastructure of large enterprises. According to Ron Anderson, Messaging
and Collaborative Applications Editor for Network Computing, "Biscom's FAXCOM 7000, a turnkey solution,
covers all the bases."
"The Well-Connected Awards are significantly different from other IT publications' awards," said
Fritz Nelson, Publisher of CMP's Network Computing. "Our editors worked at length to research and
test the best offerings in the enterprise arena." According to Nelson, the products singled out
in the Network Computing Well-Connected Awards are unique because "they are not a measure of popularity-they
are quality offerings tested over a networked enterprise firsthand by editors themselves. So we
know that the FAXCOM 7000 by Biscom is truly an innovative solution."
Tight integration with multiple environments and applications is achieved through the open-systems
architecture of FAXCOM fax servers combined with a mature API, streamlining workflow by integrating
fax with off-the-shelf and in-house business applications. Whether an organization is considering
an enterprise-wide unified messaging solution or large-scale integration with multi-functional network
devices, Biscom's FAXCOM 7000 fax servers are designed to meet the needs of existing and future
environments of large corporations. The winners of the Network Computing Well-Connected Awards were
announced at a gala event on Monday, May 8th held at the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas, NV. All winners
are highlighted in the May 15th issue of Network Computing and also on Network Computing Online
