  BRIDGEWATER, NEW JERSEY, Nov 02 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
emFAST Inc., publisher of FACSys(R), today announced that its FACSys fax
messaging suite of products are now compliant with IP Office Release 5
from Avaya, a leading global provider of business communications
applications, systems and services.

    The FACSys fax messaging suite is a complete family of products that
includes the FACSys EZ appliance and FACSys Foundation and FACSys
Enterprise software packages, which allow any user on the network to send
and receive faxes through a desktop client, browser, e-mail interface,
MFP device or a fax-enabled application. In addition to enhancing user
productivity by eliminating legacy fax machines, the FACSys family of
products leverages the telecommunications infrastructure for voice and
fax to reduce operating costs. The FACSys fax messaging suite of products
is now compliance-tested by Avaya for compatibility with Avaya IP Office
version 5.

    "Business customers value Avaya compliance when looking for solutions
that integrate with their telephony environment," says Peter Valier,
FACSys Product Manager, emFAST Inc. "Avaya's adoption of the T.38 FoIP
protocol has allowed customers to leverage their investment in their
communications infrastructure to deploy fax as well as voice - more
quickly, more easily and more cost-effectively than ever before."

    emFAST Inc. is a member of the Avaya DevConnect program-an initiative to
develop, market and sell innovative third-party products that
interoperate with Avaya technology and extend the value of a company's
investment in its network.

    As a Gold member of the program, emFAST Inc. is eligible to submit
products for compatibility testing by the Avaya Solution Interoperability
and Test Lab. There, a team of Avaya engineers develops a comprehensive
test plan for each application to verify whether it is Avaya compliant.
Doing so ensures businesses can confidently add best-in-class
capabilities to their network without having to replace their existing
infrastructure-speeding deployment of new applications and reducing both
network complexity and implementation costs.

    "By offering compliance testing to the many innovative companies like
emFAST Inc., Avaya promotes fully interoperable solutions that help
businesses unleash powerful new possibilities," said Eric Rossman, vice
president, developer relations and technical alliances, Avaya. "They are
able to use Unified Communications to connect employees and customers to
information from wherever they are, over whatever device they have
available - getting more out of their multivendor network and delivering
new value to their bottom line."
