RightFax and non-OpenText Cloud Services

OpenText does not recommend installations of non-OpenText cloud services with RightFax. OpenText cannot support third party cloud extensions to RightFax, or any issues arising from the use of such services. Further, the installation of third party components may interfere with the ability for OpenText to properly investigate and diagnose whether technical issues are with RightFax or other cloud service provider(s). Ultimately, your RightFax performance and reliability is at risk with third party add-ons. Customers who require secure, scalable and supported hybrid faxing solutions are encouraged to evaluate OpenText RightFax Connect, a proven, effective and fully supported cloud-based communication for RightFax servers.
