Indy Business: Offices Gone Paperless
One of the biggest changes that businesses and offices want to make in 2018 is to go paperless. Or at the very least, they would like to reduce the amount of paper documents they currently create and receive. There are many gadgets and services out there that aid in this process, such as document scanners, shared folders, and even cloud document management services.
What might surprise you, however, is how many businesses believe that they still need a dedicated fax machine. The days of needing a dedicated machine, a costly landline, and all the paper waste that goes with them are all but over. There are many solutions now that cut out the antiquated fax machine entirely, like our secure virtual faxing service (vFax).
Instead of having a standalone machine, vFax services allow you to receive and send faxes from anywhere. You can send an email and have a client or business partner receive it as a fax. And when someone faxes you, you receive it right in your email, already scanned and ready. But the best part is that other people don’t have to make any changes if they are stuck with a clunky fax machine. You get all the benefits of an email to fax service, and they can carry on with business as usual.
Of course, virtual faxing is most effective when paired with other services like Dropbox, OneDrive, or even our business phone service. No one thing will get you to being completely paperless. If you’ll excuse a bad joke, it’s going to be a death of a thousand cuts.
