Fax over IP

banner-foip

Transitioning from a physical hard wired world to a virtual IP environment has been taking place for some years.

Taking it one step further, companies that are building or expanding their IP infrastructures can benefit from the consolidation of voice, fax, and data on a single, common resource. The result is significant cost savings, reduced administrative time, and increased security and compliance.

Superb Business Case for IP Fax Servers

Moving to Fax Over IP (FoIP) can greatly improve the business case for VoIP, as the benefits are an exact ‘analogue’ of those for Voice Over IP.

  • Resilience and reliability
  • Centralised control
  • Reduction in management overheads
  • Line and bandwidth cost reduction
  • Streamline business processes by automating communications

Fax is still the most reliable point to point document delivery solution there is.

This is not faxing via the Internet, but it is cheap IP faxing

Looking at the old fax estate in many organisations, and you will see

  • Expensive telephone lines
  • Old Fax machines using energy, paper and toner, (not exactly green)
  • Servers and cables cluttering the Comms equipment room
  • Paper everywhere
  • Remote offices faxing each other

IP Fax is a virtual fax server, serving multiple locations centrally, linking the desktop with the outside world for inbound and outbound fax.

The most cost effective bundle for IP Fax Server is the Exchange Version

Start automating to save real money

An IP Fax Server is an on-ramp for those paper documents people wander around with in their hand, and fax enabled multi-function devices start the flow of ‘paper to electronic’ rather than the other way round.

How many faxes are printed before people scan them?
