 |
May 14, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Hostopia has launched a “private labeled, wholesale fax-to-email service” that “telecoms and other service providers” - including web hosts - can sell on to their customers, it was announced yesterday. The service allows users to user to send or receive facsimile messages from a computer using an email application such as Microsoft Outlook.
"Fax-to-email is in high demand as a business service with annual growth of over 25% according to a prominent category study published by Davidson Consulting," explained Hostopia's Chief Marketing Officer, Paul D. Engels. "Our wholesale customers such as telecoms and broadband companies are eager to offer these services to their SME customers".
The service is flexible enough to allow providers to offer it as a “standalone service” or as part of a bundle of services “such as web hosting and business email”. Hostopia deals with billing and end-user support. "Service providers who sell this service will enjoy the benefit of patent protection due to our license with j2 Global Communications, the leader in IP fax technology," added Mr. Engels.
"j2 Global licenses its patents to leading companies worldwide. We are especially delighted to add Hostopia as a licensee because they have a demonstrated ability to successfully sell IP-based business solutions on a large scale basis to telecommunications and Internet service providers," said Jeffrey D. Adelman, Vice President and General Counsel of j2 Global. "This agreement is a great opportunity to expand the market for digital faxing services by delivering these patented solutions into the hands of a leading service provider."
Hostopia offers web services to small- and medium-sized businesses that include telecommunication carriers, cable companies, Internet service providers, domain registrars, and web hosting service providers. Hostopia's customers purchase their web services on a wholesale basis and resell these services under their own brands to small- and medium-sized businesses. The company provides customers with the technology, infrastructure, and support services to enable them to offer web services, while saving them research and development as well as capital and operating costs typically associated with the design, development, and delivery of web services. The company’s fax-to-email service allows 300 sent or received pages for a set monthly fee. |
