Many of the green advocates believe that the Cash for Clunkers initiative came to a close too quickly.
Although Extracomm doesn't want the 1976 Gremlin that belongs to Mary in the cubicle next door, our focus is those other clunkers scattered around your workplace, fax machines.
Yes, the old traditional fax machine that is left on 24/7, printing out junk faxes and burning through expensive paper from irreplaceable trees....for what?
Turn in those old fax machines* and as incentive we will give you a deep discount for ExtraFax, the leading Enterprise Fax solution for Domino. Not only will ExtraFax help your company go green, it will also increase productivity for employees as well as further mobilize your outside work force.
Promotion Details:
Clunker Credit -$1,000 off Standard Edition (Excluding Standard 15)
Clunker Credit -$1,500 off Enterprise Edition
Promotion expires November 15, 2009

Steven Alexander August 13 2009 09:20:48 AM The impact of global warming is here and now. We contribute to carbon dioxide emissions in our daily activities such as driving to work, flying to meet a customer, down to printing a delivery note or sending an invoice by courier. Global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the burning of fossil fuels stood at a record 8.38 gigatons of carbon (GtC) in 2006, 20 percent above the level in 2000. Emissions grew 3.1 percent a year between 2000 and 2006, more than twice the rate of growth during the 1990s. Per capita carbon emission in North America tops the chart averaging 24.1 metric tons person, followed by 10.5 for EU, 5.3 for South America and 3.4 for Asia in 2006. It's shown that operating a traditional office fax machine causes the annual emission of 0.662 metric tones of carbon. Not to mention paper and consumables (e.g., thermal paper, toners, ink cartridges), -- materials and energy used in their manufacture and subsequent pollution of various kinds and levels in their disposal. Today, documents remain a irreplaceable media for the business norm. The deployment of ExtraFax can play a substantial role in your go-green strategy – focusing on reduction of hardware, consumables, physical space, energy, and distribution requirements. - Avoid printing multiple copies of a faxed document and instead print documents or selected pages on an “as needed” basis.
- Eliminates the printed coversheet of a document when a complete hardcopy is needed.
- Eliminates the need of a hardcopy when submitting and forwarding a fax or original document to a fax recipient.
- Eliminates the need for both in-bound and out-bound multi-part/copy forms/documents for different handling units or multiple recipients.
- Archive your fax documents electronically to save paper and physical space.
- Easily find and retrieve fax documents by keyword search.
- Save money by reducing the number of network printers required for printing documents that need to be faxed.
- Eliminate the need of fax machines because with ExtraFax, faxes are sent from and delivered right to your e-mail.
- View your fax on the web with your iPhone or Blackberry using the Domino web interface.
It is the way for businesses to save in these tougher economic times while also going green to help the environment. Steven Alexander June 16 2009 01:03:29 PM New Product Announcement - June 1, 2009
