with the help of World Fax Services, you can contact fax machines
all over the world -- no matter where, no matter how many,
no matter what time -- all done from your computer in the
comfort of your home/office. It is called Fax Broadcast.
World
Fax Wizard Software
There
are two major World Fax components that users need to use
when transmitting a fax broadcast. The first is the World
Fax Wizard, designed to guide users through the set-up and
configuration of a new fax broadcast. The other is the World
Fax Client which allows the user to monitor and control fax
broadcasts that have been sent to the Server.

broadcast.

powerful addition can be accessed during the Recipient Selection

the current fax list.
- Contact
Manager Integration This tool offers extended convenience
to the user by allowing existing databases to be used as
World Fax fax lists. In World Fax, simply click on a button
and import the desired database or a database selection
from Act!, GoldMine, Maximizer, Microsoft Excel or Microsoft

Eliminate
the worry of remembering to transmit a fax broadcast and the
inconvenience of running a fax broadcast during your peak
hours. With Advanced Job Scheduling, the user can specify
exactly when the fax broadcast is to be transmitted - up to
a century in advance! This feature can be edited during the
Job Parameters Setup.

includes Error Fax Lists, Success Fax Lists and Unsent Fax
Lists (comprised of Failed Numbers and Numbers not Submitted).
Job-centric
Design
This
very powerful feature of World Fax allows users to run several
jobs at any time. These jobs can be set according to priority
level, whereby those with highest priority are submitted to
the server first and those with the same priority level are
submitted concurrently and comprise an equal percentage of
the job.
BroadMail
BroadMail
is designed to complement the communication capabilities of
World Fax. This gives the user the ability to transmit personalized
faxes and e-mail's concurrently to the same list of recipients.
With fax numbers and e-mail addresses combined into one list,
the success rate of reaching important contacts will increase
substantially. It has been determined that personalized e-mail's
attain 50% more results than nonpersonalized e-mails. No other
software offers the extended convenience, efficiency and flexibility
needed when sending outgoing mass communications.

Completely different documents. b) Some similar and some different

Add-ons
World
Fax Mail Merge
Personalized
documents can be created effortlessly using Microsoft Word
Versions 97 and up. Create a template document in Microsoft
Word and insert the fields to be personalized. Then select
the database list to be merged into the template document.
From Microsoft Word, the personalized documents can be previewed
and converted to a faxable document.
Billing
Module
This
enhancement is indispensable for fax service bureaus in maintaining
updated billing records for their clients. As clients submit
their fax jobs to their fax service bureaus, the Billing Module
updates the status of the client's account - debiting the
account for prepaid services. Otherwise, a detailed bill can
be generated and the client can be charged appropriately.
As well, the fax service bureau can specify: area code billing
rates for users, the Client's allowable Minimum Balance and
Client User security parameters.
