FTAPI Fax-Alternative is a digital communication solution designed to replace traditional fax with a GDPR-compliant (DSGVO-konform), encrypted transmission platform. It is primarily targeted at healthcare organizations, public authorities, and enterprises operating under strict data protection regulations, particularly in Austria and the German-speaking region. The solution enables the secure transmission of sensitive documents and data — such as patient records and citizen data — without relying on fax hardware or S/MIME certificates. Incoming faxes can be digitized and forwarded digitally, allowing organizations to retain existing fax numbers during the transition. The platform integrates with existing IT systems, including medical practice and clinic management systems, and supports automated processing of incoming data and documents. Online form data can also be automatically processed via FTAPI SecuFlows Advanced. Encryption is handled without requiring complex certificate infrastructure, making adoption straightforward for end users. The solution targets compliance with Austrian and EU data protection legislation, including the Austrian "Fax-Verbot" (prohibition on faxing health data) and GDPR requirements. Key use cases include inter-organizational communication in the healthcare sector (e.g., between healthcare providers and patients), government-to-citizen communication, and any scenario previously relying on fax for regulated data exchange.
