- Are you still faxing? Of course you are. Despite its legacy, faxing is ubiquitous, simple, reliable, is traceable and most importantly - legally binding.
- But at the enterprise level, there are serious challenges associated with faxing. These challenges have lead to enterprise mandates requiring top IT leaders to investigate cloud fax solutions in order to foster greater cost and productivity efficiency – with the idea being to make fax more of a value added business aspect, as opposed to simply a functional one.
- These challenges have lead to enterprise mandates requiring top IT leaders to investigate cloud fax solutions in order to foster greater cost and productivity efficiency – with the idea being to make fax more of a value added business aspect, as opposed to simply a functional one. This is thanks to the capability of cloud technology and its ability to provide a similar level of outsourced services - as opposed to on-premises implementations centered more on maintaining internal control over fax.
- So what exactly does fax in the cloud entail? A cloud fax service allows you to transmit messages via the cloud minus the typical hardware components mentioned earlier (fax machines, fax servers, fax boards and the like). Messages are sent and received from either common email or desktop applications – through the cloud – to fax machines and/or MFD devices. Again, NO HARDWARE, TELECOM CHARGES or many IT SUPPORT PERSONNEL required. Adding speed, agility and scalability to an enterprise grade fax ecosystem – all of which streamline fax communications and accelerate ROI - tactics that enterprises deem essential given the advent of recent recessionary times.
- So, what makes a cloud fax service enterprise grade? Meaning what makes it capable of addressing the needs of today’s common enterprise.
- So now that we know what makes the service enterprise caliber, let’s discuss the unique benefits resident in a cloud fax service.
- Let’s reviewOpenText’s flag ship cloud fax services products – it starts with Fax2Mail:A fax is sent – then it’s forwarded through our high speed, high volume network of servers with total transparency to end users (Virtually all common document files, spreadsheets and graphic image files are automatically converted to outbound faxes)When sending a fax you simply enter the recipient’s fax number along with the handle @fax2mail.com; then attach the document you’d like to fax and hit send. It will arrive to the intended recipient as a fax. When a fax is received over our system via a user’s uniquely assigned fax number - it is automatically forwarded to that assigned user’s email box as a TIFF or PDF attachment
- … since production is such an important aspect of enterprise faxing let’s touch upon OpenText Production Messaging. Integrated into your backend and other systems, Production Messaging automates the management of high-volume outbound fax documents, whether the format is CSV, XML, FTP or SMTP for delivery as fax, email, secure email and SMS.
- OpenText has 14, redundant geographically diverse data centers backed by state of the art architecture. We own this network - helping ensure reliable, cost effective and secure fax communications. We also offer global network accessibility, customer care & technical support you can rely on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
