Z-Firm Blue Strip

OmniRush Sunset Announcement


OmniRush has had quite a run. It began life as FaxRush in 1996, and grew into a suite including EmailRush, PrintRush, ShipRush Server, and CashRush. OmniRush has many thousands of installations, tens of thousands of users, and has processed tens of millions of faxes, print merges, emails and shipments. Everyone at Z-Firm thanks you for your support of OmniRush.

Sadly, it is time to say goodbye. While OmniRush is a Swiss-army-knife of function (fax, print, shipping, email), over 90% of OmniRush is for fax. And fax has died. Fax is used in an ever-smaller circle of verticals.

Further, OmniRush relies on expensive licensed technology (PDF module, database engine) and is tricky to maintain, as it depends on device drivers (print drivers and fax board drivers). This is complex to manage with many versions of Windows, 64 bit environments, and more.

As a result, the cost to maintain OmniRush has gone up significantly, while sales have sunk to extremely low levels. Many businesses (Z-Firm included!) depend on OmniRush. However Z-Firm can no longer support or maintain OmniRush. Therefore it is time to sunset the OmniRush suite.

Z-Firm thanks you. Our vision of CRM automation and integration would be meaningless without the great engagement of you, the users and resellers of OmniRush. We appreciate your understanding that OmniRush has reached its sunset. This is not the end of Z-Firm. This sunset in no way affects our ShipRush product. In fact, we can now focus our efforts on ShipRush, making it the best. If you have any questions, please email us at: sales@zfirmllc.com
