Tin Cups and String: The Convergent Microsoft UC Blog

I had a tough time recently finding a consolidated list of info links and products surrounding Exchange 2010  fax support.  We did the original research because a smaller client received a rather large price tag from a major vendor for fax support, and they don’t want to plunge ahead with an Exchange upgrade without a better (read: cheaper) solution.  Attached is the content from our research OneNote after several hours of Bing searching and tracing product literature - I hope it helps save others some searching!

Note: These vendors offer traditional “email item forwarding” integration over SMTP for Exchange support,  and to not create UM Fax messages, nor can the receive forwards from the UM role.  These vendors do NOT report EX2010 certified at this time.
