  2. Then the documents are transferred to an Esker production facility through a secure channel

  3. Once received, the documents are processed and faxed according to user specifications

  4. Notification is directly fed back into the SAP system so users can follow the status of their faxes

Receive faxes within your SAP Applications

In addition to outbound faxing from SAP Applications, the service can also handle inbound faxing. In a few clicks, you can set up inbound fax lines to receive your faxes via email.

Local and toll-free fax numbers are available in 43 countries and over 3,000 cities.You get to choose the fax number that best suits your needs. Once you are up and running your incoming fax documents are archived in the Esker on Demand Manager, and sent to your email in TIFF or PDF format. There is no limit to the number of recipients per line, and you can easily route faxes to a group or department.

Not only is it a fast and convenient way to distribute fax information in the organization, you benefit from a low fixed price - regardless of the time of day.

Behind the scenes

Documents are transmitted to an Esker production facility using a secure SAP Remote Function Call (RFC) communication between SAProuters, and received by a multitenant Esker server platform with SAP Certified Integration. SAProuter is a standalone program included with SAP system releases to connect networks and act as a firewall to allow connections. The use of SAProuter-to-SAProuter communication eliminates the need to install any software in order to integrate automated fax service into your SAP system.

You get a certified solution to transport faxes directly from your SAP application through an authenticated, encrypted and secured connection.

 

Don't sacrifice security

Upon configuration of SAP Output Determination, your documents are routed via Secured transmission protocol (SSL) - identical to the encryption used for banking transactions - directly into our Esker production facilities and immediately sent back out as a fax.

To ensure your business documents are handled in an efficient and secure way, Fax Services for SAP Applications rely on the worldwide network of Esker production facilities located in the USA, France and Australia. We back-up and monitor our Esker production facility data centers to ensure you 24x7x365 availability. We can also guarantee no delays thanks to our dynamic line allocation and routing system.

 

In addition, we have clustered servers with internal redundancies to prevent hardware failure. Finally, Esker guarantees minimum transmission costs thanks to the Least Cost Routing. 

... or SAP integration

Esker fully supports integrations via BC-CON, and is one of the first companies to be certified for full support of its successor, BC-SMTP. The new BC-SMTP communication interface guarantees 100% external output management integration within SAP.

You can seamlessly and securely send different document types, handle your status, receive business documents with SAP Applications and never worry about compatibility issues.
