Interstar at GTEC Week government IT show - FoIP/VoIP readiness and regulatory compliance


(PRLEAP.COM) Montreal, Canada, October 3, 2005 — Interstar Technologies (www.faxserver.com), a leading developer of IP telephony solutions, will exhibit at GTEC Week (Canada’s largest IT event for the public sector, www.gtecweek.com), held at the Ottawa Congress Center, Booth 2116, October 4-5, 2005. Interstar, recognized for its award-winning fax server solutions and #1 position in the worldwide IP fax market, will be demonstrating its suite of cost-reducing, fax server software for PSTN and VoIP networks.

Canadian government organizations already deploying Interstar’s fax server solutions include the Canadian Senate, Environment Canada, Public Safety Emergency Preparedness Canada (PSEPC), and Canadian Red Cross. Interstar’s fax server software enable fast, secure, and reliable email-based faxing that facilitates PIPEDA/PHIPA compliance, significantly reduces costs, and increases productivity.

“As Canadian government IT evolves toward IP-based communications, many forward-looking organizations have elected Interstar’s fax server software solutions due to their adaptability to both PSTN and VoIP networks,” said Martin Demers, President and CEO of Interstar Technologies. “Interstar’s fax server solutions not only enable organizations to reap monstrous cost-savings and a quick ROI, they are above all, future-ready for an easy and transparent eventual VoIP migration.”

Interstar’s XMediusFAX and LightningFAX fax server software:

 reduce telecom costs and fax expenses by at least 40%
 enable secure email-based faxing, fax archiving, and fax document management
 create an audit trail for Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)
and Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) compliance.
 enable an easy and transparent migration path from PSTN- to VoIP-based fax communications

The overall fax server market is expected to grow by a 6.8% CAGR from $270 million in 2004 to $375 million in 2009, per Davidson Consulting, a US-based fax-industry analyst firm that has recently identified Interstar as the dominant worldwide leader in IP fax in its July 2005 “Computer-Based Faxing Report”.

Davidson Consulting forecasts that with VoIP migration, IP fax systems are forecasted to dominate the market by 2009 with revenues of $82 million, and boardless IP fax solutions (like Interstar’s XMediusFAX boardless FoIP pioneer) will account for more than 50% of those revenues.

Aside from topping IP fax rankings, Interstar also currently ranks #5 in the overall fax server market segment for large enterprises with 5,000+ users.

“As organizations increasingly migrate toward a VoIP infrastructure, Interstar is well-poised to maintain its lead over the competition for years to come. With our pioneer boardless FoIP technology that is certified to interoperate seamlessly with the leading VoIP gateways, Interstar has a 4-year advantage in the FoIP market. Interstar’s XMediusFAX is still the only boardless FoIP product fielded in the fax server market today,” said Martin Demers
