Ricoh Corporation and Castelle Integrate GlobalScan Into FaxPress and FaxPress
Premier
WEST CALDWELL, N.J., Dec. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh Corporation, the leading
provider of digital office equipment, and Castelle , a leading provider of fax
solutions for Fortune 1000 companies and small to medium-sized businesses,
announced today that Ricoh's GlobalScan software platform can now seamlessly
integrate with Castelle's FaxPress and FaxPress Premier network fax servers.
This integration provides a complete faxing solution for all electronic and
paper-based documents.
Most desktop fax servers lack the ability to issue paper-based documents. Through an SMTP Gateway, GlobalScan integrates with Castelle's FaxPress and
FaxPress Premier, providing centralized fax and e-mail management. The
GlobalScan-FaxPress solution eliminates the need for traditional fax machines in
the work environment, which in turn reduces consumables and service costs while
increasing user efficiency.
"The versatility of the GlobalScan software continues to help Ricoh's partners
enhance their applications, directly benefiting the end-user," said Hede Nonaka,
Vice President of Marketing for Ricoh Corporation. "By working with Castelle to
integrate this software, Ricoh hopes to help more users experience the benefits
associated with GlobalScan and FaxPress." Castelle's FaxPress and FaxPress Premier network fax servers support workgroups
of all sizes, from small offices to enterprise-level applications. FaxPress is a
self-contained hardware and software solution that allows organizations to
easily implement both LAN and Internet faxing. FaxPress Premier is a
patent-pending technology that builds on existing FaxPress hardware and software
features and offers an advanced level of network fax capabilities including
integrated file storage, embedded e-mail gateways and a secure web interface.
Castelle's network fax servers have earned a well- deserved reputation for ease
of installation, use and administration.
GlobalScan effectively processes, manages and distributes hard copy documents in
electronic form, allowing users to scan documents directly to network folders
eliminating the tedious process of scanning, creating a file and then saving to
the server.
Developed in particular for large organizations, GlobalScan is designed for
document-intensive office environments and easily integrates with existing
document distribution infrastructures to significantly boost workgroup
productivity.
