FREE EMAIL TO FAX
by Matt Gerchow
The advent of free email to fax technology is changing the corporate world just as new technology has been doing for decades now. Once the old facsimile machines were a critical piece of communications technology without which the business world could not have functioned so efficiently.
Now the hardware has been left behind by online software. Sending a fax online is much easier than using the old facsimile machines.
This is one reason behind the switch from machinery to online transmission. The process is also much less expensive.
You can send faxed documents from just about any location in the world. This also allows for a mobility that was not present in the old situation.
You were once required to be at the machine in your office or home in order to send a fax to someone. Now you can send facsimiles from any location.
There is also an inherent confidentiality in sending faxed documents via this method and its reverse. There is less chance that an unintended audience will view the fax.
This is especially true when the process is reversed and someone sends a fax to your email account. The fax arrives in your email and is not likely to be seen by anyone else.
With the old fax machines, anyone could pick up the fax if the intended recipient was not vigilant. Now that there is free email to fax technology, many businesses can start throwing out their old facsimile machines.
They can make space for more computers or more staff by removing the clutter. Businesses can also look forward to saving money when they terminate the extra phone lines that they needed for faxing.
With this new method as an alternative, they can simply use existing internet connections to get their faxes out securely and efficiently.
