Cloud-based fax vs. conventional fax (part 1)

Faxing is one of the oldest forms of communication--it was invented by Alexander Bain in the 1843--but it is still often a business necessity today.  But a lot has changed in faxing over the past few decades, and now modern cloud-based fax systems provide several advantages over conventional fax machines.  Here are six of them.

1. Fax on the go. When used with a fax app, cloud-based fax allows you to send and receive faxes on the go outside the office.  JotNot Fax even has a built-in scanner that lets you capture and digitize physical paper documents.
2. Access fax documents everywhere. Faxes that you send or receive are always available electronically on a variety of platforms accessible via mobile fax app or a web-based fax app on your mobile device or computer.
3. Environmentally friendly. Electronic faxes are inherently green and benefit the environment because they save paper.  Cloud-based fax systems also save you from having to buy a clunky physical fax machine that will eventually have to be thrown away.
4. Organization. Online fax systems also let you categorize and organize your faxes any way that you want using tags or folders.  Electronic documents can also be made searchable making it easy to find and retrieve a particular fax.
5. Save money. The total cost of sending or receiving a fax per page can be significantly lower with cloud-based fax once the cost of buying the fax machine, leasing a telephone line and number, the cost of paper, and the cost of maintaining and fixing the fax machine are taken into account.
