We went ahead and bought Snappyfax for an extra computer and use it as a fax server. I had previously looked at essentialfax shareware but snappyfax has a lot more features. We hooked it up last week using a file server on the computer with two clients. One for my assistant (only employee) up front and one for my office. We turned off the paper fax and so far have imported all the faxes into the front office computer. For now she either prints some, deletes trash, and sends other to me for review as imported files into AC.
Major problem when we went to hook up the back office scanner. It is a fujitsu that does not have TWAIN drivers and none seem to be available. A new scanner is to arrive soon. Included software includes paperport and omnipage.
I would like to be able to receive and send faxes via snappyfax and then use paperport to manage the files in prep for importing into AC. ie marking up a report. I would also like to have a document management system to scan and archive some old records and billing sheets. Paperport should be able work there. It is a lot less expensive than Updox.
We are early in implementing AC and I am still sorting out how to put it all together. Fortunately I have great IT support.
Is any reason this would not work?
