Does anyone fax anything anymore? Not a trick question. Anyone that remembers the fax machines of old will recall the noisy whirring of the industrial fax machine, relegated to the corner of the office in an attempt to reduce the incessant sound.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fax machines may sound like a piece of office equipment that should remain back in the realms of shoulder pads and power suits, but faxes still have a firm place in today\u2019s workplace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Importance of online fax for business<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Businesses use online fax for many reasons. The facility to include electronic signatures on official and legal documents is just one of them. Documents sent by fax are deemed legally binding on account of their authenticity compared to emailed documents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s check out some other reasons why fax machines are in everyday use.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Security<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Businesses that handle reams of sensitive customer data use online fax services because it\u2019s much more secure than standard email services. Online fax services are not susceptible to information and data leaks, providing strong encryption tools to protect your documents from unauthorised access and users.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Affordable communications<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Compared to secure encrypted email services, international fax is a much more affordable communications option. Not to mention how much a potential data leak would cost your business if your email services were targeted by cyberhackers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Customer retention<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Enabling your business to send and receive online faxes allows you to communicate with your customers in the method of their choosing. If you\u2019re dealing with a customer who communicates via a traditional fax machine, your business can handle that capability directly from your communications app.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fax from phone vs. fax machine<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Faxing from your phone is super convenient and allows you to excel at speedy and efficient communications. All you need is a fax app and a secure broadband<\/a> connection. The only limitations of faxing from your phone instead of a fax machine are document scanning capabilities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Businesses that still use fax<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Companies that handle secure documents such as healthcare and insurance businesses typically use fax services for sending and receiving personal identifying information (PII).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
