ALL ABOUT vFAX
Technology is advancing at a mind-boggling pace. Keeping up with what trends can provide truly helpful, timesaving, and cost cutting business solutions can be a job. To make things easier on you, here’s one technology solution that you should consider for your business, vFax.
NOT YOUR GRANDFATHER’S FAX MACHINE
In 1843, Alexander Bain invented the electric printing telegraph, the world’s first faxing device. Certainly, over the years there have been some advancements to the original design and technology, but nothing that has been developed to date can compare to vFax. In fact, it’s responsible for the old analog fax machine going by the wayside and soon into oblivion.
WHAT IS vFAX?
vFax is an online fax service that allows users to send and receive faxes without using one of the old, cumbersome analog fax machines. When a fax is sent or received with virtual faxing or vFax, users can simply use their own devices, be it a desktop/laptop computer, tablet, or mobile phone.
Using a private and secure faxing portal, vFax users can send and receive faxes, view fax history, add contacts, compose cover pages, and manage internal users anywhere there is an Internet connection. vFax has truly transformed the faxing industry. Not only does vFax dramatically cut costs by eliminating the need for a fax machine, print cartridge, and paper; it also puts a reliable and easy-to-use tool at your fingertips, no matter where you are in the world provided you have Internet access.
