In a bid to serve the needs of business users, top executives and mobile-savvy employees, GFI Software has developed a new and improved version of GFI FaxMaker 2013, which enables users to send SMS text messages to multiple recipients at once.

GFI FaxMaker 2013 integrates with cloud-based e-mail and fax service providers to cater the changing needs of today’s mobile workforce. The updated version of GFI FaxMaker 2013 is easy to install, use and manage. It provides organizations with the ability to send appointment reminders, special offers and other information directly to mobile devices of opted-in customers, colleagues and prospects.

“Network communications have revolutionized how businesses connect with each other, but traditional paper-based faxing has often stood in the way of these advancements,” Phil Bousfield, general manager of GFI’s Infrastructure Business Unit, said in a statement. “Paper-based fax systems have significant upfront costs and too often hinder efficient, timely communication. Hybrid faxing with GFI FaxMaker 2013 enables the mobile workforce to use faxing intelligently and effectively without being tied to their desks. It is easy to set up, easy to use and results in a greener, more environmentally friendly office.” 

GFI FaxMaker 2013 is available for the equivalent of about $32 per user for an annual license, which includes a one-year service maintenance agreement (SMA (News - Alert)). It supports cloud-based e-mail systems such as Microsoft Office365 and Google Docs, allowing customers to gain all the benefits of hybrid systems.

It offers anytime, anywhere faxing from mobile devices, whether on the road or working remotely, freeing users from being dependent on fax machines.

The new GFI FaxMaker 2013 supports multiple concurrent SMS texting options, enabling organizations to leverage texting as a powerful marketing and communications tool and an invaluable means of reaching employees, customers and partners with vital information.
