Fax-asaurus Rex?
Internet Aids Fax Growth
Thanks in part to the internet, the fax is actually evolving to meet today's fast paced and flexible communications needs. Purchase orders, quotes and invoices are still important for doing business in the new millennium and companies are springing up like dandelions in July to offer Internet Fax Services – basically an interface with email for sending and receiving faxes – for the following reasons:
- Small companies and those who work from home can avoid the equipment cost of buying a fax machine but still send and receive the digital documents.
- Portable, traveling employees can send and receive faxes from anywhere with an internet connection (including all those WiFi coffee shops that offer hot coffee in a hot zone).
- Internet-fax virtually eliminates lost pages, allows for immediate electronic document storage, and ensures delivery of the document to the right hands.
- Internet-faxes offer better security – no more documents laying out in plain view on the public fax machine.
At last glance the global fax market was worth approximately $80-billion (U.S.) at the start of the decade and is continuing to increase rapidly. So don’t take your fax number off your business card just yet.
