Faxing is a Waste of Time and Money

For all of us who have used email or an electronic fax provider than you know traditional faxing is a waste of time and paper. I would pull the environmentalist approach on you and say you can save some trees. But who am I kidding in today s market it is all about time and productivity.

Wouldn t it be nice if when someone sent you a fax you didn t need an old lumpy fax machine to receive it? Wouldn t it be nice if you didn t use a ream of paper a day to get your faxes? I say the time is here to start getting rid

of fax machines. We are definitely in a time when fax machines are outdated and I cringe at the sight of one. You might be wondering how your organization can save time and money by throwing out its fax machines. In my opinion, eFax is the answer. eFax is an online website specializing in turning traditional analog faxes into electronic documents. The first step is signing up and they give you a phone number in your preferred area code. You can now subscribe to eFax for roughly $10/month and receive all your faxes through a web interface. Better yet if you have an Exchange or other type of email environment you can receive all your faxes directly to email. Or perhaps you are a large organization; eFax can be configured as a public folder so that all of your employee s or a select group of individuals have access to all incoming faxes.

You might be wondering at this point Yea, but what if I want to send a fax? eFax has also come up with a solution to this problem. You can send Microsoft Word, Rich text, Plain text, Windows Bitmap, Adobe Photoshop, JPEG, Gif, Tiff, and many more formats via their web interface.

There is a complete list of supported file

types on the eFax web site. It is very easy and simple to login and send faxes, it s as easy as sending an email.

eFax has definitely revolutionized the world of faxing and it is time for your organization to jump on board. Save a tree!
