Data On Call's Web-Based Fax Services Provide Immediate Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Relief to Companies Impacted by 2004 Hurricane Season

San Diego, CA September 13, 2004 -- Data On Call is providing immediate business continuity and disaster recovery relief to companies at risk of losing critical documents and communications due to impact by the 2004 hurricane season.

Thousands of organizations already rely on Data On Call's outsourced services to send and receive faxes from wherever they have access to email or the Internet. This allows important fax communications to go uninterrupted during a natural disaster or other emergency.

"Companies can be hit hard by natural disasters or other emergencies," says Ken Truesdale, president, Data On Call. "Surprisingly, though, we're finding that many still do not have disaster recovery plans in place for their fax communications." Gartner research estimates 40 percent of enterprises that experience an emergency will go out of business within five years.

Truesdale continues, "Maintaining adequate internal redundancy for faxing and other communications is extremely costly. Outsourcing fax communications, on the other hand, requires no upfront investments and can be implemented almost instantly."

Data On Call's web-based fax services give companies an immediate and highly effective back-up solution to maintain important business communications.

"For example, our UniFax service has been helping a number of companies get up and running instantly when their internal fax communications go down during an emergency. They can even route their existing fax numbers, so that customers, vendors, etc. can continue sending faxes to existing numbers," Truesdale adds.

UniFax™ is Data On Call's flagship service for sending and receiving faxes via email or the web, without any fax infrastructure or software. Any company currently experiencing damage from the hurricanes can get started with UniFax right now by signing up for the service at http://www.dataoncall.com/online-fax-services.jsp or by calling 888-429-4615. The service supports single or multiple users and fax numbers with plans available to fit every business situation and volume requirement.

The company also offers an easy-to-implement fax integration service, WebFax Enterprise™, for sending faxes securely via end-user applications or websites. Data On Call's free Software Developers' Kits (SDKs) make integrating with WebFax Enterprise possible in less an hour, versus the typical 2- to 3-week development timeframe. SDKs are available for Java and .NET/COM environments, or a Universal User's Guide is available for general API integrations (if none of the SDKs are applicable). These free SDKs and tools can be downloaded at http://www.dataoncall.com/web-fax-api.jsp.
