How Fax to Email Can Save Companies Time, Money and Resources

Posted: March 22nd, 2009 under General Interest.

The fax machine has been around for years.

It was first invented in its earliest form by Alexander Bain in 1843 and has been sitting comfortably in offices around the world ever since.

Even in this digital era, many companies still use faxes, although they are perhaps not as reliant on them as they were in the 1980’s.

Faxes are here to stay and there is a way that businesses can combine the functionality of a fax machine with the flexibility and convenience that emails offer – with Fax to Email.

Fax to Email works together with non-geographic telephone numbers, like 0845 numbers, 0800 numbers and 03 numbers and enables organisations to get all their faxes in their email inbox. If a business has a memorable telephone number, they can also obtain a memorable fax number that is very similar. E.g. Someone’s phone number may be: 0333 123 4000 and there fax number can be: 0333 123 5000 – both of which would be highly memorable and would look brilliant on a business card!

Fax to Email has many advantages over traditional fax machines.

1st, Fax to Email saves companies money, as they do not need an actual fax machine in their office – the system is web based and operates entirely online. In fact, Fax to Email is available to anyone with an email address and means that firms don’t need a separate phone line to receive faxes and there are no maintenance costs (e.g. new ink cartridges).

Additionally, because Fax to Email operates online, people can choose which faxes they wish to print and the ones they want to discard – meaning that paper is not wasted and resources are saved. Fax to Email is a more environmentally friendly option and is a positive step towards many organisations’ corporate social responsibility targets.

Fax to Email also enables businesses to save time. For example, if someone receives a useful fax that they would like to pass to someone in another department/office – rather than printing it out and posting/scanning it, all they need to do is forward it in the same way they would with an email – immediatelly.

Documents can also stay more confidential with Fax to Email. Rather than having private faxes staying in a fax tray in the office for all to see – they can immediatelly be sent to the individual they are meant for.

Overall, Fax to Email is the ideal solution in an era where efficiency, flexibility and affordability is the key to success and if people are smart they can seek out the provider with the most competitive offering in the marketplace.
