SAGEM Open Line provides a secure solution for fax and document management as well as archiving. Compatible with multifunction peripherals (MFPs), it can boost productivity by as much as 90%.

Montreal, Canada, January 14, 2008 - Sagem-Interstar Inc. (SAFRAN Group) announced today that SAGEM Open Line - the field-proven, "plug & play" network fax server appliance - is now available in North America. SAGEM Open Line offers enterprises a comprehensive solution for all their faxing and archiving needs.

The all-in-one, turnkey SAGEM Open Line appliance (which can be placed on a desk or mounted on a rack) plugs quickly into any work environment so users can send, receive, scan, index, and automatically archive incoming and outgoing documents. Documents can be retrieved using full-text or multi-criteria search capabilities. The solution is scalable from 2 to 24 fax channels, accommodating light to heavier fax traffic.

SAGEM Open Line distinguishes itself with productivity-improvement features, such as:

o Desktop faxing (inbound and outbound): SAGEM Open Line enables users to send and receive faxes from email clients such as Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes, as well as other Microsoft Office or enterprise business applications.

o Automated faxing: Open Line allows faxing through integration with third-party business applications without any software development or programming required.

o Outbound fax approvals: All business-critical outbound faxes, such as purchase orders or quotes, can be automatically routed to the appropriate manager to approve or reject.

o Efficient document search and archiving: Open Line indexes and archives all faxed, scanned and stored documents. This allows for easy retrieval through Open Line's full-text or multi-criteria search capabilities. SAGEM Open Line also offers security features that enable documents to be forwarded to either public or private folders.

o Integration with any MFP: Fully integrates with industry-leading MFPs and copiers through native integration (OKI and Muratec), proprietary connectors (Canon and Sharp) and standard T.37 protocols (Xerox, HP, Ricoh, and Toshiba).

o High-end hardware components: Server-class solution with hot swappable hard drives for 24/7 reliability and support service within 24 hours.

SAGEM Open Line holds a very solid track record in Europe with thousands of systems deployed in major enterprises and organizations in diverse sectors ranging from humanitarian to banking and industry. These customers manage a daily volume of several thousand faxes, which are easily transmitted, scanned, tracked, archived and retrieved because of Open Line. The solution enables significant customer service improvements and rapid ROI.
