As companies adopt new disruptive technologies such as mobile and cloud computing, many countries have begun to develop new information compliance standards and regulations. As a result, the geographic location of stored information has become a growing concern for companies in countries that have such regulatory or legislative requirements.


“With internet and cloud-based technology at the heart of OpenText solutions, our customers, especially in European countries, are looking at our data processing and storage in the cloud as a differentiator,” said Matt Hoare, vice president, IX Fax & Messaging for EMEA at OpenText. “The European Data Zone now allows us to offer our cloud-based information exchange services to easily send and receive information, without concerns over data sovereignty.”


OpenText fax services are part of the OpenText Cloud, which operates in a network of data centres throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific. The OpenText cloud includes a business network that allows companies to exchange documents using EDI, XML, fax and email, a development platform for building web, mobile and analytic applications and a suite of pre-packaged applications to automate business processes such as capture-to-archive, inquiry-to-resolution and procure-to-pay. The OpenText cloud processes over 16 billion transactions per year and houses over 350 terabytes of multimedia content for more than 600,000 businesses around the world.


The company’s cloud-based fax services reduce costs by eliminating the management complexity and hardware associated with an enterprise fax infrastructure. OpenText Fax2Mail is a cloud-based service that allows employees to receive and send faxes as electronic messages directly from their email, eliminating the need for fax servers, fax machines and related infrastructure.


With OpenText’s enterprise cloud fax service, users can:
· Send and receive faxes via email, web portal or API
· Comply with privacy, security and records-keeping mandates
· Automate workflows
· Eliminate fax hardware and installed software
· Improve productivity with reduced cycle times
