New Version of Captaris RightFax® Delivers More Enterprise-wide Performance

Updates make the leading fax server and electronic document delivery solution even more robust, reliable and easier for IT managers to administer

Philadelphia, PA — May 16, 2006— Captaris, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAPA), a leading provider of software products that automate business processes, today announced at the AIIM Expo 2006 ECM conference the upcoming release of Captaris RightFax 9.3. The latest version of the world’s leading fax server and electronic document delivery solution includes significant enhancements in enterprise performance, scalability and user administration, with faster document delivery speeds, better support for disaster recovery scenarios, and an updated web access client.

“We are pleased to see the applied expertise of the Captaris products for imaging and document delivery integrated with the Microsoft Office system,” said Robert Bernard, general manager of the Global ISV Group at Microsoft Corp. “This is a great value-add and a win for our Enterprise Content Management customers, and will continue to help enable those customers to work under the highest level of reliability and performance for increased efficiency.”

Key Features and Benefits

• A new database consolidation feature. Multiple RightFax application servers will be able to share a single instance of the RightFax SQL database, offering significant improvements in user administration, load balancing, data redundancy, and support for disaster recovery scenarios.
• An XML-based tool to synchronize company data to RightFax from Microsoft Active Directory or the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Built on the Microsoft .NET Framework, this drastically reduces administration time and ensures more accurate data synchronizations. The new Microsoft Active Directory integration does not require an update to the company’s existing schema.
• Several enhancements to the RightFax Web Access client that make it even easier to deploy and to use.
• Performance enhancements to inbound document processing that will benefit companies seeing increased document traffic entering their organization. RightFax 9.3 uses Microsoft SQL Server to manage the receive queue, adding even more reliability, better performance and load balancing.
• A new server application, built on the Microsoft .NET Framework, provides a faster and more efficient conversion of Microsoft Office documents into faxes.
• Support for multiple dedicated SMTP gateways for inbound or outbound fax processing, which will improve document delivery speed and eliminate processing delays.
• Updates to Eicon fax board support including call blocking, inbound routing and enhanced use of CSID.

"With the upcoming release of RightFax 9.3, Captaris continues to maintain their position as the leading enterprise fax server worldwide,” said Scott Riley, president and CEO of One Touch Global, a Captaris Platinum Elite partner. “We are pleased with the enhanced simplicity of installation, product stability, and improved integration with Microsoft Active Directory. These updates allow us to embrace our RightFax sales and support commitment in the coming year and next."
