FALLS
CHURCH, Va., Sept. 7,
2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cognosante and Consensus
Cloud Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: CCSI), the exclusive partnership for
federal Enterprise Cloud Fax (ECFax) services, today announced the
successful implementation of the government cloud faxing solution
at VA facilities across five Initial Operating Capability (IOC)
sites across the country. The sites, which were activated over a
three-month period, include more than 40 separate facilities and
represent all five examples of VA workplaces throughout the U.S.,
including inpatient- and outpatient-care, pharmacies, cemeteries
and administration.
Digital faxes are now being delivered across multiple delivery
and integration points within these sites, including
multifunctional devices and shared folders, yielding operational
efficiencies and reducing the need for standalone hardware in each
location.
A critical business technology, ECFax was customized to meet
stringent government technical and security requirements while
providing a truly universal and robust solution to support
Veterans, as well as VA care providers and staff. This service will
be available in more than 2,000 VA facilities across the United States.
Cognosante, the prime contractor and program lead, will continue
to implement ECFax digital fax services, which includes
installation, onboarding, reporting and training, throughout all VA
settings. ECFax is the first cloud-based digital faxing solution
approved for use by VA and enables the transformation, enhancement
and secure exchange of digital information.

services with cloud-based technologies," says Erick Peters, Cognosante's Chief Technology
Officer. "Working with Consensus on the ECFax program is a natural
extension of our promise to VA to help improve Veteran care by
streamlining administrative processes."
The technological advancement of VA's cloud faxing system will
accelerate the department's ability to deliver a variety of
services to the country's 16.5 million Veterans, while enabling
interoperability and secure data exchange between all VA facilities
throughout the nation.
"We are proud to successfully complete this first major
milestone with Cognosante and VA as we continue to deliver on our
objective of supporting government agencies across the U.S. by
providing best-in-class cloud fax technologies to improve document
exchange processes," stated Scott
