Although fax is a communication system of the twentieth century, there are still companies and organizations that need to use it daily for legal or security issues. However, nowadays no one plans to receive faxes in the same way as it was done 30 years ago, by means of a machine connected to a single telephone line. Nowadays, faxes are sent and stored from the cloud using virtual fax systems.
The virtual fax is an Internet-based fax system that is used as an email account, without the need for a machine or consumables, with the content of the fax being attached to the email. You can receive the fax as many people, as email accounts are associated with the fax number.
Virtual fax services have all the advantages of cloud services, and some differential features.
- Savings: Does not require any additional installation, you only need a web browser and an email. There are also no expenses in machinery, maintenance and consumables, nor is it necessary to have any type of dedicated fax line.
- Ease of use: Faxes are sent or received from an email account, from any place where an Internet connection is available (instead of always receiving them at the place where the fax telephone line is located).
- Unlimited: There is no limit to simultaneous incoming or outgoing faxes (the fax never communicates).
- Online storage: Storage of documents in pdf format and access to the history 24/7.
- Integration: Integration with your corporate CRM or ERP systems through post-http protocols or web services. Centralization of fax management through a mail account.
All these advantages make the virtual fax a service that offers companies the maximum efficiency and flexibility to send and receive communications.
