Indy Business: Email to Fax

icon-print Indy Business: Email to Fax?

Is it possible to receive faxes as emails?  Or, even better, is it possible to send an email to a person’s fax machine?  What about attaching a document to an email and sending that as a fax?  The good news is that all of these are possible.  And the even better news is that doing all of them is extremely simple with a vFax service.

How does it work?

Unlike most things, exchanging faxes for emails really is as easy as it sounds.  With our virtual faxing service, all faxes sent to your fax number will be converted automatically and delivered to one or multiple email addresses of your choosing.  To send a fax, you can attach a document to an email, or upload it to our secure web portal where you are able to see all the faxes you have sent and received previously.  You can even send cover letters.

Do I need a fax line?

Nope.  With vFax, you don’t need a separate line just for faxing, so you save money every month.  On top of that, you don’t need an expensive fax machine, you save money on paper and ink/toner, and you are not tied to a specific location.  vFax works anywhere there is an internet connection.

Can I try it first?

Of course!  All our services come with a free trial and vFax is no different.  We can give you a trial vFax number and account to see if it fits you and your business.  There is no obligation to buy anything and no credit card is required.   If you have an existing fax number, you don’t have to port it until you’re 100% sure that vFax is right for you.

If all of that sounds reasonable, please feel free to call us or contact us so we can answer any remaining questions you might have.  We look forward to hearing from you!

Indy Business: Offices Gone Paperless

icon-file-text 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.

The next time you’re looking into reducing your paper usage or eliminating the costs that go along with it, feel free to give us a call or contact us to learn more.

Thanks and have a great day!
