BERLIN, March 18, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Ferrari electronic AG, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and manufacturer of Unified Communications solutions, today announced that its fax solution is now certified as Interoperable with Microsoft Exchange 2010.

A unique feature of this solution is that it does not use Fax over IP technology. Instead it receives faxes directly on the PSTN interface to achieve best possible compatibility with fax senders. Companies using "OfficeMaster Gate" do not need to install a separate fax server anymore, "OfficeMaster Gate" acts as a media gateway for Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 and supports inbound faxing without purchasing any extra software or services.

The certification process included successful testing by an independent third party authority based on specifications defined by Microsoft to ensure seamless interaction between the involved products.

"Microsoft is pleased to have Ferrari electronic on the list of certified fax solution partners," said Ankur Kothari, senior technical product manager Exchange at Microsoft Corp. "This solution, which is integrated within OfficeMaster media gateways, will help our mutual customers tap the full potential of unified messaging provided by Microsoft Exchange Server 2010."

"Ferrari electronic has a long history in providing fax solutions for Microsoft environments," said Johann Deutinger, Chief Technology Officer at Ferrari electronic AG. "We are proud that we now can offer our customers a choice between a certified inbound fax solution for Microsoft Exchange 2010 included in all of our media gateways, and the full featured fax server software 'OfficeMaster for Exchange' for those who need outbound faxing and interfacing to other platforms as well."
