Market Share According to Davidson Consulting
Also Increases European Market Share Year over Year
NEEDHAM, Mass., July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Brooktrout Technology, Inc.,
a leading supplier of media processing and call control products, today
announced that it holds a commanding lead in the worldwide intelligent fax
board market with a 70% worldwide market share, according to the latest
Davidson Consulting research report "Computer-Based Fax Markets, 2004-2009"
published this month by Davidson Consulting. In addition, Brooktrout also
continues to gain market share in Europe, increasing its market share by 6%
over the previous year, according to the Davidson report.

"The fax board market grew from $95 million in 2003 to $105 million in 2004 at
a growth rate of 9.5%. Most of this was attributable to Brooktrout, which grew
even faster than that rate and continued to eat away at its competitor's market
share," said Peter Davidson, author of the report. "Brooktrout also gained
market share in Europe, and shot up to a 70% share of the worldwide market."
According to the report, growth in the fax server market is driven largely by
compliance regulations ranging from Sarbanes-Oxley to the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) that require internal controls and
audit trails for a variety of documents including faxes. Fax servers
integrated with document management systems can help companies achieve their
compliance goals. Brooktrout intelligent fax products, including its flagship
TR1034(TM), can provide safe, secure and reliable fax transmission by using the
T.30 "fax only" protocol eliminating the security vulnerability in competitive
products that support the V.90 or V.92 protocols.
"For over 10 years Brooktrout has been the leader in the intelligent fax board
industry as a direct result of our commitment to our partners and our focus on
delivering the highest quality intelligent fax technologies supported by
innovative customer care programs, such as Express Exchange and TEC (Technology
Expansion Capability)," said Eric Giler, president of Brooktrout. "Moving
forward, we are committed to continuing the advancement of the industry with
recent innovations such as real-time fax over IP and software- based fax
processing platforms."
Brooktrout recently announced its new real-time fax over IP software-only fax
processing product, the SR140(TM). Businesses will be able to use Brooktrout's
SR140 intelligent fax platform to add IP fax functionality to their VoIP
network. Since it is a 100% software product and not a board-level product, the
SR140, can reduce system complexity, simplify deployment and lower maintenance
costs.
Brooktrout also offers its TR1034 intelligent fax board for both PSTN and VoIP
based fax capability, providing investment protection for businesses who plan
on deploying a fax solution today on their existing PSTN network and migrating
to IP when their needs change, using the same intelligent fax board and
software.
