While there are those out there that view faxes as out of date, antiquated systems that don't keep up with the likes of more modern counterparts like instant messaging and the like, there are still plenty of businesses and agencies that not only use fax services, but depend on it every day. Those making the move to fax over IP, meanwhile, have one more reason to cheer as the SIP Forum's Fax over IP Task Group recently released RFC 6913.

FoIP, or Fax over IP, is the process of sending and receiving faxes via a VoIP network - an innovative technology that has become increasingly popular over the past few years.
But is fax still relevant?
January 30, 2013 |
In an age where almost all work essentials can be integrated into a single mobile device, thanks to the BYOD (bring your own device) trend, outdated systems have been thrown in the dumpsters, and there has never been so much office space freed up. The next bulky appliance to go is the fax machine.
January 17, 2013 |

Thanksgiving, as we know it in the United States and Canada, is a holiday related to English traditions and the harvest festivals celebrated in many countries around the world. Canada celebrates the holiday in October and the USA on the fourth Thursday in November. It is a time to be thankful for the abundance bestowed on each of us. A time to hop in a car or plane or simply walk to a neighbor's house to enjoy getting together with family and friends and have a turkey dinner with all the trimmings.

Many of you will be reading this column while attending ITEXPO Austin in Austin so perhaps a little Texas folklore is in order. The phrase "How the cow ate the cabbage" is a frequently used folk saying in Texas. In fact, the phrase was included in a speech at the 1988 Democratic convention by former Texas Governor Ann Richards. The generally accepted meaning is to tell someone a truth they do not want to hear. It certainly fits this column, as we regularly remind our readers about the dangers presented by not being prepared for business adversities. Procrastinators probably prefer silence.
October 15, 2012 |
When it comes to unified communications and cloud-based systems, one feature that cannot be left out is fax. One panel at the Cloud Communications Expo today, collocated with ITEXPO Austin 2012, revolved around just that subject.As it's certainly not a new development in the telecom industry, the panelists agreed that fax is often either left out of enterprise UC deployments altogether, or added as an afterthought somewhere down the line.
October 03, 2012 |

Some things just work out better by being there in person. For example, sending a kiss by messenger just doesn't cut it. The same holds for trade conferences and is particularly critical for ITEXPO West this year. Frankly, there are just too many changes taking place in VoIP, FoIP, the cloud and IPv6 to miss this event.

The term "True 21st Century Fax" covers a very small segment of the fax server industry defined by companies that use 21st century tools to integrate with other 21st century technologies. FaxCore's product line has always been a forerunner in this segment as evidenced by the list of features displayed in a 2008 TMC Channel Article.
June 21, 2012 |
Enterprises today are more focused than ever on FoIP, but just as in 2007, many "Internet Fax" solutions are now available. However, they're not all created equal so enterprises need to understand some background about the technology involved, including what it can and cannot do. For example, problems persist over the global carrier network. However, many of the issues have been identified and are being addressed - plus virtually 100 percent of the fax machines in the world are not FoIP capable anyway. Regardless, the T.38 FoIP standard is very useful within an enterprise network particularly with a virtual OS and VoIP - so pure point-to-point FoIP does not diminish the value of FoIP.

Ever notice that when you are looking out of an airplane window the clouds appear as firm as packed snow on a ski slope? In reality these virtual solids only provide the illusion of solidity. Certainly a skydiver would not actually expect to land on the top of a cloud when making a jump.

With the way technology has been evolving more toward a ubiquitous experience thanks to the cloud, traditional methods of sending faxes are slowly dying out. HelloFax's recent venture into the world of Google was a pretty big step forward for digitizing the fax market, but a lot of others are developing similar ideas too - like etherFAX, for instance.
May 16, 2012 |
Fax-over-IP (FoIP) has received a lot of attention as a critical component of a global messaging solution which is why FaxCore helped pioneer this technology early in the century. Certainly the speed and convenience of today's messaging and video conferencing technologies has also provided senior executives with a great set of management tools for "remote global meetings." Theoretically, this should lead to reduced travel for management but that is not necessarily so. These same tools have also increased the available business opportunities and growth for companies seeking to expand their global operations. Some things change and some things will always remain the same.

With the continued growth of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), companies are increasingly adopting fax-over-IP technology ( FoIP ), if you prefer, as businesses migrate more and more over to VoIP. Initially, VoIP was adopted by larger organizations or the traditional "first adopters" then moved to the small-medium-sized business (SMB) segment. Many industry experts are reporting that they're seeing a greater adoption of fax-over-IP in the SMB market.

Fax over IP has revolutionized the way in which users communicate sensitive documents to one another. But things come with the territory. Web messages means speedy faxes, sure, but they don't undergo the proverbial customs agent in traditional phone lines. "Digital signatures" are the Internet's equivalent to hard copy signatures, but how official are they if you don't physically ink them on paper?

Over that past weeks, part I and part II of this series reviewed several topics related to virtual reality and virtual solutions. Now may be a good time, however, to define - or redefine as it were - virtual reality.
"In philosophy, reality is the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined." (Wikipedia)
March 23, 2012 |
Virtual reality is a term the general public likely associates with movies like Avatar, which blend real humans with imaginary ones and computer-generated graphics, or with alternate worlds where we, as humans, can interact with other humans through avatars. In other words, it combines the human with a representation that behaves as a human. Likewise, a virtual network is a mix of servers, combining real, physical servers with virtual servers. The virtual servers must exist on one more physical servers, so pure virtual is not really possible.
March 14, 2012 |
etherFAX LLC has redefined cloud-based or Fax over IP (FoIP) by enabling users to send and receive faxes over the Internet, allowing companies to eliminate any monthly fees for an additional phone line. The only expense they occur now is for the faxes they send and receive via FoIP.

Green has become the favorite color for many politicians recently. It is great for them to be seen as defenders of wildlife and the environment. Preserving trees is part of the banter, so the Paperless Office phrase surfaces regularly. The term "Paperless Office" has been around for a long time and gained momentum during the 1970's. In 1975, a Business Week article predicted that advances in office automation would make paper redundant. The introduction of the PC pushed the concept further along. However, the term has lost its luster and there are very few paperless offices out there.

The Global Economy has been a hot topic in recent years. Of course, the Global Economy is not new and went into full swing shortly after the "discovery of the new world" by Christopher Columbus (aka Cristoforo Colombo, Cristobal Colon or any of the other names he used). The discoveries made in the new world transformed (or distorted as some would say) the global economy. Suddenly maize and potatoes were being grown in Europe and Asia. Eurasian diseases decimated the peoples of North and South America, allowing the Europeans to transform the environment to a European model.

People have been talking about "paperless offices" since they began estimating the number of sheets of paper thrown out each day, how many sheets of paper come from a tree, and consequently, how many trees are trashed daily. This was well before conversations about "being green" raised as many red flags as it does today, when paperless is only part of the conversation that also includes energy conservation, emission reduction, and other environmental factors. Of course, trees are as environmental as anything, so paperless is a natural part of the conversation

Simplicity and ease of use - they are two of the most critical elements of successful communications solutions. The fact is that most competing solutions offer similar feature sets and capabilities, but where they often differ is in deployment time, management complexity, and maintenance requirements. With the number of tasks both IT managers and end users are faced with on a daily basis, it seems intuitive that the simplest solutions - which does not mean sacrificing on feature sets - are likely to be the most popular.
