Email-On-Demand Fact Sheet

... Is your company's "info@" mailbox being deluged with ad hoc requests for more information?

If your company's aggressively marketing its "info@" email address on brochures, advertisements and the Web, the flood of ad hoc requests for more information has probably already hit you! And without help, the resources that you'll need to effectively support your info@ mailbox can get out of control.

Easy information delivery

InfoPress Email-On-Demand™ will transform your info@ mailbox from just a receptacle for ad hoc requests in an automated, interactive email system that allows users to request information via email and receive it, automatically, within seconds. InfoPress Email-On-Demand goes beyond simple mailbots or autoresponders by providing email access to a library of information and giving the user a choice of document formats. Native file formats such as Adobe Acrobat and MS-Word can be requested and sent as MIME attachments via email; while plain text formats can be universally sent to any email system.

Here's how it works

When an initial email is sent to InfoPress Email-On-Demand, the system returns a catalog of documents which acts as a document order form. The email user places an "X" next to the document(s) of interest and replies to the email. InfoPress Email-On-Demand then retrieves the documents, in the appropriate format, and emails them back to user.

Not everyone surfs the Web

Although there are over 100 million Internet users, not everyone is connected to the World Wide Web. And of those Web users, not all are connected full time or have high speed connections which allow them to be efficient Web users. With InfoPress Email-On-Demand you can fully implement an effective strategy to reach the maximum percentage of the on-line population.

Powerful Document Management

With the InfoPress Document Explorer, adding to the document library is easy. Select the appropriate topics, add the document, and the system will generate new email catalogs and document order forms at the rate you select - hourly, daily or at will.

Comprehensive Reporting

Keep track of your system's activity with reporting and monitoring capabilities. And start building your email database - InfoPress Email-On-Demand will capture every email address received.

Automated or custom email responses

InfoPress Email-On-Demand will generate replies automatically, using the template which you set up and the library of documents that you categorized. Additionally, you can customize a response following a few guidelines on the use and placement of keywords and symbols. A hybrid approach can be used, by letting the system generate a catalog of document choices, which can then be edited.

Integrated fax option

With the addition of the InfoPress Fax Enabler™ module, a "Fax Me" feature can be added to each catalog generated by the system. Users can request information and receive it via fax, extending the delivery of information even further to non-email capable sites.
