Esker Opens FlyDoc Functionality to Developers; New Web Services Offering Enables Application and Web Developers to Easily Integrate Automatic Delivery of Mail, Fax and Email from Their Own Solutions

September 21, 2006; 04:13 AM
Esker, the leading provider of business document delivery solutions, announced the immediate availability of FlyDoc Web Services, allowing independent software vendors (ISVs) and web developers to add automatic delivery of mail, fax and email from their own applications.

FlyDoc, counted upon by hundreds of companies since 2004, is an online document delivery service that allows users to automatically send documents via email, fax, and physical mail directly from the desktop. Electronic documents are directly sent from the user's desktop applications into FlyDoc's worldwide network of mail and fax facilities, where they are transformed into postal mail and faxes and sent automatically. This process eliminates the need for employees to handle documents manually, stuff envelopes or stand by a fax machine waiting for a transmission to go through. Users can monitor progress via a web interface available 24/7/365 and can call upon live technical support at no additional charge.

By providing a means by which to integrate with FlyDoc, Esker has furnished an easy way for developers to add delivery capabilities into their applications or websites, including ERP, CRM or other internal business systems. As a result, these companies will reap additional recurring revenue based on subscription invoice and client traffic, without any up-front investment. By adding FlyDoc to e-commerce engines on websites, companies can improve communications with customers through automated deployment of documents such as invoices and confirmations.

"With the rapid growth of customers using FlyDoc, the release of Web Services was the next logical step," said Hugo Embert, Product Manager at Esker. "It provides our partners with a reliable and cost-effective solution for integrating today's most powerful automated document delivery service within their own business applications."

The new FlyDoc Web Services offers a multi-standard and open solution compatible with any interface or programming tool.

-- In compliance with SOAP and WSDL standards

-- Multiple transports available: Postal mail, Fax transmission, Fax reception, SMS, and Email

-- Sample code available in industry-leading programming languages: JAVA (J2EE), Microsoft .NET, PHP
