Esker Adds Additional Support for Faxing with Brooktrout Real-Time Fax over IP Technology; Customers can maximize IP infrastructure value using Esker solutions integrated with Brooktrout fax boards

Business Wire, July 18, 2005

MADISON, Wis. -- Esker Software, a leading provider of intelligently automated document delivery solutions, today announced the addition of Brooktrout real-time fax over IP to its supported technologies, allowing customers to take full advantage of their IP infrastructures. Esker DeliveryWare and Esker Fax solutions now offer customers even greater potential to reduce fax communication costs by integrating Brooktrout's latest technology to benefit from both speed and FoIP capabilities.

The addition of Brooktrout TR1034 intelligent fax boards to Esker DeliveryWare or Esker Fax gives customers the ability to integrate real-time fax over IP with their VoIP networks, allowing customers to run a public switched telephone network (PSTN) solution today and migrate to an IP-based system in the future as their needs evolve. With faster connections and more reliability in delivering documents from enterprise applications, Esker customers can maximize their efficiency and productivity.

"When developing new solutions, our primary concern is to help customers reduce their document delivery and information management costs," said Catherine Dupuy, Esker DeliveryWare Project Manager at Esker Software. "Adding FoIP capabilities to Esker solutions directly answer those needs."

"This partnership will enable companies to further tap the potential of their IP infrastructures, and is a great example of how Brooktrout fax over IP technology can help enable process improvement," said Peter Vescuso, vice president of Brooktrout Technology. "Esker's document delivery platform has long enabled companies to eliminate manual paper processes - now customers will benefit from a document delivery platform that moves even faster and simultaneously leverages previous VoIP investments."

"The ability to directly integrate our existing Esker Fax solution with our IP voice and information infrastructure - without buying extra equipment - affords us a significant cost advantage and extends the power of our VoIP networks," said Alberto Monciatti, Environmental Distribution Division Manager at Consorzio Operativo MPS, Italy. "The use of real-time fax over IP is quickly spreading to our customers and partners."
