CHELMSFORD, Mass., Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Biscom, Inc., the leading provider of enterprise fax servers, hosted cloud fax services, and secure file transfer solutions, today announced that its Biscom Mobile Fax app for Apple iPad and iPhone, Google Android tablets and phones, and Amazon Kindle Fire devices is now available from the Apple, Android, and Amazon marketplaces.

With Biscom Mobile Fax, users download the app on their mobile devices, but enterprise IT administrators can manage access control and permissions. In the event a mobile device is lost or stolen, an administrator can immediately disable fax privileges on the device or change the login credentials on the account. In his August 2012 report, "Computer-Based Global Fax Markets, 2011-2016," fax industry expert Peter Davidson predicts that portable/mobile faxing will be a key item in enterprise fax server bids, especially in corporate apps where signed faxes are required.  

"Usage of mobile fax devices in enterprise settings has doubled in the past year. Enterprise users expect to use their mobile devices for most forms of communications, and it's increasingly important that fax be among those options," said Peter Davidson, president of Davidson Consulting. "Biscom's new mobile fax app is intelligently designed and meets today's business needs by giving employees the mobility and flexibility they need, and IT managers the security and control they require."

Biscom Mobile Fax enables:

• Executives to review, sign/authorize, and return faxes from the road
• Sending or receiving faxes via Biscom's on-premises server and/or hosted cloud-based service
• Faxing PDF, JPG, TIFF, Microsoft Office and other files from email, Adobe Acrobat Viewer, Dropbox, and other mobile apps
• Opening, viewing, and/or saving received faxes within other mobile apps
• Faxing pictures taken with the device's camera
