It depends on the company, type of industry, legal requirements and country. While e-mail works for a lot of situations there are some businesses that "have" to have fax.
I agree that e-mail and a PDF of the document can suffice in most cases, in reality not everyone is there yet. From: Murray Freeman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 12, 2009 2:18 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Faxing solution Well, I'm impressed or should I be depressed that people are still using fax "technology". We have a couple of fax machines, but it's rare that they get used what with something called email. When I started working here 13 years ago, the faxes got used a lot, but over the years it's been reduced to a minimum. We've found that most documents begin life on a computer, so there's not much benefit to using fax. Has anyone considered other alternatives to faxing?

Matt From: Tim Vander Kooi [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 12 June 2009 21:27 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Faxing solution I've used both FaxMaker and RightFax in past lives. FaxMaker was great for both in and outbound faxing while RightFax was very expensive and comparatively a huge pain in the keister to administer. It did work though if you happen to have extra dollars that you feel you must throw around. YMMV TVK From: Mayo, Bill [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 12, 2009 1:48 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Faxing solution We use GFI FaxMaker. Never had any major problems with it, but when we did found the support to be good. We don't have that kind of volume, though, and only use it for outbound. The inbound features sound good, but we haven't used them. _____ From: Bill Lambert [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 12, 2009 2:44 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Faxing solution Hello all. We are currently faxing about 3000 pages a month and receiving around 1000. Most of the outbound faxes are documents that are printed first then faxed. I'm seeking a better solution and have talked to eFax but they seem pricey. Can you let me know what you use for a fax solution or recommend a vendor? Thanks!
