Sharp and Faxcore, Inc add network faxing to Sharp OSA enabled MFPs

MAHWAN, NJ, January 18, 2008 -- Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America (SIICA) and FaxCore, Inc. today announced the validation of the FaxCore Connector for Sharp OSA™ enabled MFPs. With a FaxCore^® fax server and the Sharp OSA-developed connector, organizations can fax from their Sharp OSA™-enabled MFPs for less, dramatically shortening ROI time frame due to the efficiency gains from the FaxCore fax server.

• Cut in half the number of fax lines and eliminate a security loophole.


• Utilize FaxCore as a central repository for every fax sent and received.


• Know who sent what, when it was sent and where it was sent.


• Automatically retry failed faxes


• Never lose a received fax since all fax communications are archived.


• Achieve regulatory compliance.


• Integrate FaxCore with other Sharp partner program member solutions such as the Liberty IMS™ document management solutions for a comprehensive and integrated electronic office.
