| Myth or Reality: Is the Fax Dead? GFI has released a report on how companies can streamline faxing technology to improve employee productivity. The report examines the costs involved in manual faxing and estimates that the average yearly cost for businesses sending 50 faxes per day is $26.000. The report concludes that GFI's integrated fax solution, GFI FAXmaker, can reduce the annual cost of manually sending 50 faxes per day to $2.600, if they are sent directly from their email client. A recent Gallup/Pitney Bowes poll of Fortune 500 companies conducted in the US discovered that faxing is still the number one method for sending and receiving official international messages that must be signed for, at an average cost of $15 million per year. Whilst email is still the most common form of business communication, until the digital signature is deemed as a legal entity, many industries are still reliant on faxing. GFI FAXmaker integrates with any email server and allows employees to send, receive, view, print, and save faxes from any PC or laptop without having to print a copy or visit the fax machine, which improves efficiency and productivity by allowing employees more time to carry out other business tasks. GFI FAXmaker also offers Fax Over IP (FOIP) functionality enabling employees to send faxes over the Internet whilst easily integrating with the existing IP infrastructure. Faxes are sent out directly from the user's desktop. Integrated network faxing is a very secure method of communicating important or confidential documents. As faxes are received in the user's account, they are not left out in public view and are not prone to being discarded. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
