Business-critical operations still rely on FAX. Existing T.38 and telephony infrastructure are costly, unreliable and lack performance and scalability. As we move towards cloud and IP based communications infrastructure, FAX doesn’t have to be left behind. Industries like Healthcare, Legal, Government, Education and Finance now have access to 21st century FAX-as-a-Service options from Xmedius (Canada) and EtherFax (US Only).

The new way of faxing is more secure, less expensive and more flexible. Check it out.

The most obvious difference is that FAX-as-a-Service (FaaS) eliminates the need for dedicated FAX hardware, no FAX servers or FAX machines. It also eliminates the need for costly, dedicated, Telco PRI lines just to carry FAX traffic. With FaaS, those FAX messages run over higher bandwidth, lower cost internet connections.

By delivering FAXs, securely, righto the desktop application, business can also reduce paper costs, printer ink, and maintenance.

Because FAX-as-a-Service does not rely on premises hardware it does not have capacity limits. No local line or trunk limits to constrain how many faxes can be sent or received or local fax machines, servers or printers reducing the speed with which faxes can be sent or stored.

WIth FAX-as-a-Service you leverage high-speed, broadband internet – faster, higher capacity. No busies.

With standard fax solutions organizations have to deal with several vendors when it comes to solving fax issues. Telecom line providers, fax hardware vendors, telephone system vendor and possibly others.

FAX-as-a-Service eliminates all the hardware and line/trunk vendors, simplifying support. No delays, no hand-offs, no miscommunication to impact the speed of resolution.

For many industries reporting is essential for audits, bill back or compliance purposes. For many organizations it requires pulling reports from several different sources to understand the full cost of their FAX requirements.

FAX-as-a-Service offers single access to simple, browser based reporting providing full real-time fax reports and logs, full audit trails and job tracking.

FAX-as-a-Service lends itself well to application integration so that users never have to leave their existing business applications to send or receive FAXes.

All the standard Microsoft Office applications are supported, as are MFPs, Printers and Network Scanners from vendors like Xerox EIP, Ricoh ESA, Sharp OSA, eCopy Sharescan, Fuji-Xerox Apeos, Lexmark eSF and more.

FAX-as-a-Service also supports Active Directory integration.    

FAX solutions that are reliant on premise hardware and low speed Telco lines also limit some document types from being transmitted or received.

If you need to send (or receive) high resolution and/or full-color documents, you need a solution that offers higher speed, higher bandwidth options. FAX-as-a-Service leverages your high speed broadband internet connectivity – coupled to a high capacity cloud service. The result? Full colour, high resolution documents can be delivered in seconds.
