It is an advanced solution based on the latest software standards and technology and has been specifically developed for global Enterprise Wide Deployments in large and multi-national organizations. Highest levels of security and confidentiality are guaranteed by features such as data encryption, secured connections, data integrity protection and message delivery confirmations.
Currently supported message types include fax, fax over IP, email and SMS. MPO allows the sending and receiving of messages by virtually any current or future application in an IT environment. Intelligent routing algorithms based on document analysis automatically provide the right information to the right person and business application.

MPO offers a rich set of integration options for business applications. Received messages are automatically stored in the right document folder in Enterprise Content Management systems. Orders from Enterprise Resource Planning Systems such as SAP can be sent transparently. Mainframe transactions can use the communication services of MPO as easy as advanced Web applications through various interfaces.
A browser base user interface includes operational as well as administrative functions. Comprehensive document journals are provided – including a complete history log – e.g. for messages which require manual operation. In addition, all system components can be configured and monitored centrally even if they operate as satellites in remote locations.
Rich rendering functions enable distributed content delivery in various formats to applications, mailboxes, devices and network destinations. The message content can be enriched by workflow mechanisms. Intelligent routing algorithms based on document analysis automatically provide the right information to the right person and business application.
