A Fax-to-Email Service with Biscom Fax Servers
With Biscom's onsite fax servers and/or Hosted Fax Service, businesses of any size can implement a fax system that enables users to send and receive faxes via email. Biscom's software integrates with several popular email clients, including Outlook, Exchange, and Lotus Domino, to turn the email client into a virtual fax machine.
Faxes sent via an email client are indistinguishable from those sent via standard telephony fax machine. Received faxes appear in the inbox as searchable PDFs, which can be re-sent, altered, or filed as necessary. Printing a hardcopy is never required to resend a fax to another recipient.
Using one's email inbox as a fax destination enables a user to keep all correspondence related to a particular business endeavor in one location, simplifying the sorting process and making it possible to quickly and easily find the necessary information with a simple search performed in the email client.
There are other advantages to using fax-enabled email. Faxes sent to a user who has faxes directed to his or her inbox can be received whether he/she is present at the computer terminal or not. Faxes can be sent at any time and held in the email inbox until the user can return to his or her workstation. In that time, no other employee can see the contents of the fax, increasing the privacy of each individual user as well as that of the sender.
Fax-to-Email with Biscom's Hosted Fax Service
With Biscom's Hosted Fax Service, the email client is not just used as a gateway for fax transmissions. Faxes are literally sent and received via email to/from Biscom's offsite fax servers. This setup enables a business to reduce costs by using its Internet network instead of its telephony or VoIP system to send and receive faxes.Read more on:
