"Panafax products offer best-in-class feature sets and performance coupled with designed-in durability and unique, innovative capabilities for fulfilling the internal and external communications needs of business and public agency users of all types and sizes," Odore noted. "Simply put, they increase office productivity and efficiency and save end users time and money.
