The
market is beginning to realise the benefits of investing in
fax-to-e-mail solutions and this bodes well for companies and
the effectiveness of their external communication
strategies.
There
is a lot more to a credible, well-developed fax-to-e-mail solution
than simply technology that allows for faxes to be converted and
sent/received as e-mail.
One
of the core benefits of this technology is that it does not require
additional software/hardware and therefore no lead time is needed
for the installation of equipment.
The
fax-to-e-mail solution represents a cost saving because there is no
need for an expensive fax server system with associated maintenance
and support staff.
The
outbound fax operates with existing e-mail systems including
Microsoft Exchange, Outlook, Linux, Novell and one gets better print
quality when compared to a fax machine.
The
system allows the investor to free up Telkom fax lines or use them
as telephone lines, and leverages off available communications
infrastructure (e-mail, Internet infrastructure, systems and
software).
Another
attractive feature of this technology is that users receive a
confirmation of delivery/non-delivery via e-mail. It eliminates the
media cost of incoming faxes, saves on paper and ink, incoming faxes
are free and one only has to print required faxes to the
printer.
Integr8
IT has stepped up efforts to strengthen market interest in achieving
a paperless business environment and helps to elevate this value-add
service based on the offer of lower flat rate for sending
faxes.
A
user simply faxes a document to the fax-to-e-mail number, issued
upon registration for the service, and this fax is sent through to
the mail server at that is located at MTN`s data centre - providing
the free fax-to-e-mail solution with redundancy and
security.
The
server automatically converts the paper document into a Tiff or PDF
file and this is then sent through as an e-mail to the intended
recipient. It is a fast, secure and effective
process.
It
is encouraging to see the increase in interest and awareness for
this practical technology solution for both medium and corporate
enterprises.
There
is every reason to believe that free fax-to-e-mail will continue to
impact positively on internal and external communication processes
in the workplace, thereby helping to refine and improve information
management, customer relationship management and business processing
disciplines.
