E-Mail Based Fax Solution Accelerates Processing of Documents
    EasyLink Services Corporation (NASDAQ: EASY), a leading global provider of services that power the exchange of information between enterprises, their trading communities and their customers, today announced the oil and transportation units of Geo. H. Green, Inc. of Fairburn, Georgia has chosen EasyLink's Integrated Desktop Messaging Solution to enhance communications with affiliates and staff by electronically automating the processing of critical documents and data.
    Geo. H. Green, Inc. offers a variety of fuel services for residential and commercial consumers including supplying fuel for gas stations at dozens of convenience stores as well as the delivery of home-heating oil, kerosene, diesel and off-road diesel. The oil and transportation units relied heavily on traditional faxing to process a variety of documents including invoices, price lists and inventories. In addition, the companies used traditional faxing to check fuel supplies and sales from stations as well as report changes in prices and meter readings. Geo. H. Green was looking for a more cost-effective and efficient method of processing documents and communicating with customers and staff that would not demand deep investment of capital in hardware or software as well as technology management. EasyLink has extensive experience helping companies in the freight transportation and petrochemical industries automate key business processes.
    By choosing EasyLink's IDM solution, Geo. H. Green has experienced improved efficiency and productivity while reducing costs of hardware maintenance, supplies and requirements demanded by traditional faxing. The company can now send and receive faxed documents as e-mails and complete the processing of numerous forms and important communications without spending the time and manual labor that was previously required to do it.
    "The goal of attaining a 'paperless' office and reducing the reliance on faxes has proved elusive for many businesses due to internal business processes and limits on capital spending," said Bill Fallon, VP Marketing at EasyLink. "EasyLink's IDM solution empowers a business to upgrade and advance its operations without demanding that it possesses deep technological expertise or capital to do it."
    EasyLink's IDM service, including its premium package - FaxMail Gold, enables users to send or receive transactions as faxes directly from their desktop workstations. Traditional faxing burdens businesses with a highly inefficient workflow, which involves needlessly printing documents just to fax them and consumes employee time. EasyLink has estimated the total cost of faxing a two-page document domestically exceeds two dollars when all of these costs are taken into account. EasyLink's solutions reduce these costs up to 90 percent.
    FaxMail Gold requires no additional hardware or software to deploy or manage and eliminates the hard Dollar costs of fax machines including their cost of acquisition, maintenance, monthly dedicated telephone line charges, paper, and toner. To send a fax, users simply address an e-mail message, including attachments, addressed to the intended recipient's fax number @faxmail.com. Receiving faxes is as easy as clicking on an e-mail attachment containing the fax. Each customer receives a personal toll-free or local fax number to which faxes are sent and transformed into an e-mail attachment delivered by EasyLink to the user's e-mail address. For more information or to order FaxMail Gold, call 800-624-5266 or visit www.easylink.com/faxmail.
