If you think of faxing as an antiquated means of communication that takes up space, costs too much money and eats up ink, you haven't heard anything about eFax.
eFax is an electronic, cloud-based solution that allows businesses to become more efficient, enhance the security of their correspondences with digital signatures and do more business on the go.
Mike Pugh is vice president of marketing for j2 Global (News - Alert), the company behind eFax. According to Pugh, tourism and travel are two industries that stand to benefit tremendously from electronic fax solutions. Figuring out how the optimal method to configure a reservation system can represent a serious challenge. This is especially true for smaller businesses.
The more business you can conduct in the virtual cloud instead of a physical office, the more money you save. While eFax systems can do virtually anything a paper-and-pencil office can do, digitizing the process allows more scalability and mobility.
You also automate many of the tasks that would otherwise need to be completed by hand.
Three of the numerous benefits eFax offers users:
Toll-free eFax Numbers: eFax offers phone numbers to use as electronic fax lines and local fax numbers to nearly 50 countries worldwide, free of charge. Not only do toll-free number save your clients money, but they also lend credibility to your company. Local numbers can help you promote tourism and travel destinations in the area.
Search and Tag Functionality: Imagine if you could take those enormous file cabinets in your office and search it the way you do with Google (News - Alert). When you digitalize your faxes, all of the information conducted on them becomes tagged and searchable in this way. You can track down a specific file through specific names or keywords.
Share Large Files Fast: With cloud-solutions, you can handle and exchange extremely large files with clients in a fraction of the time it takes to do so using e-mail. Cloud-based file management also eliminates issues with failed sends and bounce-backs.
In 2011, PCmag.com named eFax the “editor’s choice winner” for electronic fax solutions.
