About GFI FAXmaker for Exchange
GFI FAXmaker for Exchange is a native fax connector for Exchange Server, which means that there is no need for a proprietary fax client: Faxes can be sent and received from within the Microsoft Outlook client. This eliminates the need for client software administration as well as end-user training.

GFI FAXmaker for Exchange is the first fax server to require zero administration: It eliminates the need for an internal fax user database and relies on Active Directory instead, allowing fax-related settings to be applied to Windows users or groups directly.

GFI FAXmaker for Exchange features include a multi-line fax server, inbound fax routing, print to fax driver for Windows, support for server-based rendering of Office documents, fax management features, inbuilt spam filter, and more. GFI FAXmaker for Exchange is the most competitively priced fax server on the market: A 25-user version costs US$825; US$1995 for 100 users. More information is available at http://www.gfi.com/fex/.
