The Basic Advantages of Online Fax Systems

A lot of us have switched traditional things we do and started using the internet for them.  No longer do we make calls from our phone, we call from our computer, we do banking from the computer and we even pay our bills online.  The use of a traditional fax machine has also become an internet service.  Online fax systems have been around for a few years and there are certainly some benefits that come along with them, but determining if those benefits are right for you may be another story.
 
Cost – No matter what, you can save money by sending faxes online.  All you will need is a computer, internet service and web browser.  If you plan to send documents that are not from your own computer, you may need a scanner as well.  Using an online fax system usually comes with a minimal fee, but some providers offer them for free as well.
Efficiency – When you use a traditional fax machine, there is a lot of waiting and error involved.  Power outages, busy signals and other interferences get in the way of sending your fax to your recipient right away.  Online fax is sent through the internet.  Therefore you do not have to worry about busy signals, power outages, etc.  The online system will automatically resend whenever it is needed and your sent faxes are typically stored online for at least 30 days with most providers.  You can even fax internationally online, where as with a traditional machine you would have to have an internationally capable phone line.
Secure – Faxing online is much more secure than your traditional machine.  You will be using a secure server to send all of your faxes and you can password protect your documents.  With online fax systems the only person that views your fax is the person you authorize to.
Sustainable – By using online fax systems you can save the environment by using less paper and ink products.  You can do everything electronically and have the option of only printing what you actually need to print out.  This can save on your office storage space as well.
