Say Adieu to Traditional Faxing and Hello to Internet Faxing from RingCentral

April 24, 2009
Since the arrival of internet faxing, the way companies communicate with each other has changed. Gone are the days of traditional faxing were one had to stand in front of a machine, dial, wait, insert document (no the other way), wait for it to go through, hope that it does.

 
With traditional faxing, the disadvantages are endless. For starters, there is the ongoing maintenance of the machine, paper, toner, calling in a repair man for breakdowns and jams. The costs alone could send anyone through the roof.
 
Traditional faxing also cuts productivity. The time spent to print, walk to the machine, and type in the number, wait for a connection and send, and then wait for completion is tedious. Then, just to make sure the fax was received, the time spent to call the other party, who has the time to wait for faxes to send or arrive in addition to checking up on them? Plus, there can only be one fax at a time – all other incoming calls get busy signal.

RingCentral knows that there is a better way. “A cursory look at white papers on the subject,” company officials said, “lists a plethora of advantages that internet faxing has over traditional faxing, but these can all be distilled into three basic advantages, efficiency, cost and security.”
 
Digital technology means worldwide operation. Fax from any computer connected to Internet, anywhere in the world. Fax from open application or the user’s online interface and receive faxes in an email or online interface format.
 
Productivity will increase as faxes are received 24x7 and automatically routed to your email address or online account, plus arrival notifications are sent to your email account, cell phone, PDA or pager, which means no machine jams or breakdowns and faxes are sent instantly.
 
Internet faxing also comes with a local or toll-free number so that incoming callers will never get a busy signal making it easy and free for people to send you a fax. Moreover, say goodbye to lost faxes!
 
With no extra telephone line required for the fax, no fax machine purchase, no maintenance costs and no upgrade charges internet faxing saves time and money.
 
Plus, the added security internet faxing gives users with keeping documents private, safe and secure through encrypted technology gives even more value.

To anyone who compares traditional faxing to internet faxing it’s clear to see the better option is without a doubt internet faxing. For RingCentral (News - Alert), “the use of internet faxing is a competitive advantage that delivers startling savings in costs and significant improvements in efficiency and security over traditional faxing.
