Why Cloud Fax Services?
Today’s organizations regularly experience productivity and operational bottlenecks within their fax communications. There are a lot of reasons this congestion is happening, including paper-intensive document handling, on-going investments in maintaining on-premises fax machines and hardware, and continuous manual on-boarding of new fax users.
In turn, these gaps make it very difficult to streamline the creation and delivery of customized fax communica-tions. Employees are forced into tedious and error-prone manual processes that slow business cycle times and threaten the entire customer experience. For high-volume messaging, this can prove especially painful and costly, as staff must repeatedly find and merge data between disparate business systems and turn that information into personalized documents. Then they have to transmit this unique information to large numbers of customers in an acceptable format–all manually.
Scenarios like this are commonplace in today’s busi-ness world. The resource and productivity drains have forced enterprises to investigate cloud solutions that optimize the flow of their fax traffic in a way that elim-inates over-reliance on traditional fax machines while reducing costs associated with paper, server hardware, ad-hoc fax policies and procedures, and the necessary IT personnel resources to maintain it all.
