MyFax and my1voice Offer Tech-Savvy Savings to American Bar Association Members

OTTAWA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Protus, the provider of the highest quality software-as-a-service (SaaS) communications tools for small-to-medium-businesses (SMB) and enterprise organizations, today announced its participation in the American Bar Association (ABA) TechEZ site. Internet fax service MyFax and virtual phone service my1voice are now available on ABA’s technology evaluation and information site, to the association’s nearly 400,000 members. ABA’s TechEZ site (www.abanet.org/techez) helps lawyers make smart choices about technology so they get the best return on their technology investments.

“Phone and fax correspondence remain a business-critical form of communicating sensitive information for legal professionals, so providing them with the most reliable phone and faxing solutions is vital,” said Steve Adams, vice president of marketing for Protus, the provider of MyFax and my1voice. “We’re pleased to provide this vast legal community with communications tools that boost efficiency, streamline workflow, and improve productivity at an affordable rate.”

MyFax allows law professionals and their clients to send, receive, store or forward faxes securely without fax machines, dedicated fax/phone lines, long distance phone charges or fax modems. Internet faxing enables mobility since subscribers can access their fax communications from anywhere they receive an Internet connection, including smart phones. Since securely transmitting documents is of utmost importance to law professionals, MyFax secures and protects data for compliance with key laws and regulations including SOX and HIPAA. Faxes can be viewed as PDFs, and users have unlimited storage of faxes online.

With MyFax, law firms can eliminate the capital costs of hardware upgrades, there are no software licenses, and it easily integrates with IT systems. Firms also benefit from MyFax’s billing and reporting capabilities including tracking faxes by billing code. Additionally, the fax service is scalable, more environmentally friendly than the traditional fax machine, and allows law professionals to send and receive documents from any Internet connection.

My1voice is a cost effective, feature rich virtual phone service that helps a small law firm appear larger and more professional. The service includes a local or toll free number and a virtual receptionist that professionally answers and directs calls to the appropriate extension – all without the need for a live receptionist. Calls are then forwarded to the appropriate person on any phone – work, mobile, home or VOIP – providing the user with the flexibility of being ‘available’ at any time and in any location.

The my1voice virtual receptionist works with existing phones and delivers professional-quality telephone services without the overhead of installing and maintaining special equipment. My1voice also includes enhanced voicemail, which allows voicemails to be sent to email, as well as several call screening features which enable lawyers to decide whether or not to take a call.

Earlier this year, Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC) Communications Solutions named MyFax and my1voice recipients of the 2008 Product of the Year Award.
