KIRKLAND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 24, 2001

Captaris, Inc. (Nasdaq:CAPA CAPA California Alternate Performance Assessment

) introduces a new RightFax connector module that integrates RightFax capabilities with Panagon(TM) Image Services from FileNET Corporation (Nasdaq:FILE) so that faxing functions as an intelligent channel for inbound and outbound e-document delivery and archiving with the FileNET system.

FileNET is a leading provider of eProcess Management software solutions with an installed base of more than 3,300 customers worldwide.

The RightFax Connector for FileNET extends the functionality of the RightFax product line with new capabilities for inbound fax routing and committal com·mit·tal

 to an image repository. Captaris offers the RightFax server which functions as a high-volume, fault-tolerant, scalable exchange hub to extend the FileNET Image Services system. Key data points can be captured from an inbound fax so that the electronic document can be indexed and automatically routed. The process provides an added layer of security and data loss prevention as well.

All Panagon-supported annotations can now remain intact when an outbound document is sent through the RightFax server. RightFax also is able to automatically distribute outbound documents as faxes to multiple destinations.

"Captaris product offerings allow us to use RightFax in a Panagon eContent management application, which provides businesses with a cost-effective means to store and access high volumes of business-critical content transmitted via fax," said Michael Harris Mike Harris or Michael Harris may refer to:

, senior vice president, products & strategy for FileNET. "This is especially valuable in e-business applications where the combination of Panagon Image Services and RightFax allows customers to use any medium to conduct business."

A recent study by Meta Group predicted the content management market would grow at a compounded annual rate of 66 percent and reach a market size of approximately $10 billion by 2004.

"Sun Life needed to leverage its current corporate enterprise RightFax infrastructure with its enterprise FileNET Content Management repositories," stated Sam Aidonidis, network planning officer for Sun Life Financial. "Sun Life required a high-availability faxing solution for both inbound and outbound faxes that would not only scale and/or load-balance across a multitude of fax and imaging servers but would be transparent to the end user."

The RightFax Connector for FileNET can be used to quickly scale the capabilities of RightFax upward as document requirements increase.

There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. . Because of its three distinct operating modes, the new RightFax connector can be fine tuned to the volume and document-type requirements of a particular FileNET system. The connector is available globally through Captaris sales partners.
