| MyFax Launches in the UK MyFax launches in the United Kingdom. MyFax is an Internet fax service that allows business and consumers alike to send and receive faxes using existing email accounts or the web. It also enables users to manage their fax communication and corresponding document management workflow more efficiently and at a lower cost than traditional fax servers or fax machines, regardless of physical location. Despite the perception that we live in a paperless world, the use of fax to conduct business continues to grow. With industries such as the financial, insurance, healthcare, real estate, and government sectors sending and receiving thousands of faxes each month the overall fax market is now estimated to be worth in the region of ?45 billion. With no hardware or software to install, switching to MyFax reduces both capital and P&L expenditure - saving 85% on upfront costs and 34% on ongoing monthly costs compared to a conventional fax server. MyFax empowers users to send, receive, store or forward faxes securely without fax machines, dedicated fax / phone lines, long distance phone charges or fax modems. Subscribers can access their fax communications from anywhere, at any time, the same way they access their e-mail. Packages are tailored to the size of the organisation whether it's a multi-national or a one-man band. Traditional fax machines often pose privacy and security threats as documents sit idle on shared fax machines. With MyFax, incoming faxes are sent directly to the intended recipient, ensuring confidentiality and helping organisations comply with privacy regulations. Furthermore, today there is increased corporate and personal responsibility to reduce the carbon footprint. The MyFax service reduces the paper used by limiting printing to only those documents that must be handled in hard rather than soft copy format.
