TelcoBridges recently posted an article, “Just the Fax – How IP-based Technologies Modernize Faxing for the Internet Era,” that explores how IP-based technologies are changing fax communications and providing a more efficient way for companies to transport business-critical data, securely.
Despite the emergence of the Internet, email and mobile technologies, fax communications remains a viable solution across a range of industries, and continues to evolve.
Paraphrasing the interview, our CEO Paul Banco said:
“Fax is the cockroach of technology: no one wants it, but there’s just no way to kill it. Fax has survived numerous technological evolutions, and today’s fax servers make faxing more popular than ever, by enabling companies to digitize analog fax traffic, and route it through a server to the desktops of those that need it. It’s efficient, and it addresses a major compliance requirement that companies cannot ignore.”
etherFAX leverages the Internet for transport and has “built a better mousetrap,” providing cloud-based delivery of fax communications that is more reliable. This is of critical importance for the healthcare and financial services markets where regulations such as HIPAA and SOX compliance must be adhered to.
As part of its technology platform, etherFAX utilizes TelcoBridges’ Tmedia VoIP gateways to ensure security and scalability.
