Announcing the new PamFax Developer Program

With great pride we announce the new PamFax Developer Program.

Based on the PamFax3 technology we now have an API available so you can integrate all the PamFax features into your solution. Our own solutions also use the same API.

Usage of the API and the development environment is completely free of charge.

Applying for API access is very simple and is done on the developer page linked below. Once your application has been received, we give you access credentials to the sandbox environment. You have access to the documentation, can look at sample code and start the PamFax integration.

We have created a nice logo which you can use in your solution and marketing programs.

Further (technical and commercial) information and how to apply is written on the developer page at http://developer.pamfax.com.

No Skype Extras System anymore

no_more_skype_extrasSkype has just announced today that the Skype Extras System will not continue. This means no more third-party applications for Skype will be certified and no new extras will be added to the “Tools” -> “Extras” menu in the Skype client. All existing entries will not be removed until the certification period expires. This does not include the Skype Public API which allows third party software to connect to Skype and control some functions and do things like call recording etc. Skype says this API will be maintained in future.

But this shut-down also includes the Skype Credit payment, which will be switched off shortly. No third-party software will then be able to accept Skype Credit payments.

So how does this affect Scendix/PamConsult products? The simple answer is: not very much.

Team grows again: welcome new employees

The PamConsult Team grows again: please welcome our latest two new employees with me. They will both extend our team in our development office in Ebstorf, Germany.

Matthias Matthias is a developer who worked in web development before. He will be part of the web development team and will work on projects from our customers as well as on PamFax, the websites, etc.

Tobias Tobias is a new apprentice who will learn software development in the next 3 years in our company. Through his existing knowledge, he will also help developing our products and projects.

So, welcome!

Expansion of the team – welcome Kay

We proudly announce our first new permanent employee hired in 2009.

Kay Kay will strengthen our developer team in the German office. His main focus will be developing web-applications like the upcoming PamFax 2.0.

Welcome him in our team and be gentle to him, he’s “the new one” ;-)

As we have loads of work in the queue, he will for sure not be the last new employee this year…

PamFax Vista Sidebar Gadget + Skype Developer Days 2008 + TapiRex update

- The PamFax Windows Vista Sidebar Gadget was just published to the Windows Live gallery (see PamFax Gadget details page). Give it a try and experience a complete new feeling and comfort of sending faxes.

- In the next three days, Dick and myself will be in Athens, Greece at the Skype Developer Days 2008. This is a great yearly event and always a great opportunity to meet the Skype staff and a lot of interesting people working with Skype. After Prague, Czech Republic back in 2007 and Tallin, Estland in 2006, we are really looking forward to visit Athens this year for this event.

- TapiRex updated: We finally managed to update TapiRex to version 1.7.2. This update fixes some problems like the error message after wakeup, reverse lookup in Canada, …
Just download and install the newest version from the downloadpage.

We also started an experiment with Open Source: the next version of mceTapiRex has been published as Open Source. We have uploaded the complete source code of the current development version of mceTapiRex V2 to CodePlex: Open mceTapiRexV2 on CodePlex. We hope that many developers join us to develop this very nice TapiRex plugin to the next stage. If this works well, we can start thinking of making other components of the TapiRex system open source…

Upcoming Skype Toolbars will support PamFax

Great news has come. The next releases of the Skype Firefox and IE toolbars (which are included with every Skype installation) will have added support for PamFax.

It works pretty slick and allows you to click and send a fax. Very easy!

Example:

The toolbars are already available as beta release at the Skype Toolbar website here. So, check this out and let us know what you think.

PamFax server update released (pretty cool stuff!)

The new build (.49) addresses not only some minor issues but more interestingly has a new recommend to a friend option. This is a function where, after you sent your fax, you can easily have PamFax send a Skype chat to your friends and once five people start using PamFax we will add a cash bonus to your account automatically. For every five new users you will get a bonus! So, the more you recommend the more bonus (cash) is added to your account.

Note that only people that do no yet have PamFax show on the recommendation contact list. Also people you already have recommended do not show again ;) . To prevent overuse, the maximum contacts you can recommend to (per fax job) is ten.

Another great feature is the support of PamFax in the upcoming Skype toolbars. Take a look here. Pretty cool stuff, so download the beta toolbar and give it a go.

No client update is required, so just keep faxing away.

PamFax is Skype-certified

PamFax finally passed the Skype certification: Now you can be sure that this add-on for Skype does what we promise and is of high quality. The certification-team at Skype did some very intense tests of PamFax and also helped us improve PamFax.

We are very proud to welcome our fourth add-on for Skype in the “Skype certified” family: Pamela for Skype was the first add-on that passed this certification by Skype at all, then our mcePhone for Skype was the second one, Pamela Call Recorder for Skype (which is also Skype Premium directly under Tools -> Do More in every Skype) and now there is also PamFax for Skype as Skype certified add-on application.

Is there any other company out there which has 4 Skype add-ons certified by Skype?

New developer in our team

Florian Say hello to our newest Team member: Florian. He will work as a developer in our german office, helping us to build applications and websites in PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, Ajax, …

Welcome aboard ;-)

PamConsult approved by Skype

PamConsult has been approved by Skype as “Skype Approved Integrator”, in short SAI. More information on the Skyppe website: https://developer.skype.com/SAI

Skype SAI

PamConsult was founded beginning 2006, long before SAI came to life. We saw that Skype would attract more and more users and that that would result in more add-on applications. Many of these are looking for a reliable partner that helps them with their Skype application. This is that PamConsult focusses on providing.

SAI is a perfect program for us which validates the reasons why we started PamConsult in the first place. We are very honored to be among the first SAI partners worldwide.
