Cloud Fax vs. On-Premise Fax Servers

Faxing is universal, ubiquitous, and easy to use. But increasingly, there are challenges seen with legacy paper fax, their related workflows, and costs. The industry has long been moving to replace the paper fax with more secure and HIPAA-compliant technology and there are two technologies at the forefront. They are: The fax server, which requires on-premise hardware and software; and digital cloud fax technology (DCFT), a reliable and scalable technology that runs entirely on the cloud and requires no additional hardware or software.

Troublesome fax servers

In addition to the extra hardware, fax software, and telecommunications services, on-premise fax servers also require on-site installation, training, and ongoing maintenance. These items are costly as they involve IT personnel for administration and maintenance. Other expenses also include monthly telco charges for phone lines, phone numbers, and PBX ports.

Because of these expenses, on-prem fax server solutions are cost-prohibitive for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and for even mid to large-sized corporations.

Fax servers are also less than reliable. The costs of downtime to a business can be incredibly high – and for some industries like healthcare and financial services – are completely untenable.

Cloud Fax Simply Works

Cloud Fax delivers encrypted communications and password-protected documents. You can get a complete audit trail of all activity and optional features such as fax tagging, annotations and digital signatures.

Experience better than 99.5% uptime fast delivery and receipt rates, with is ideal for time-sensitive information with high completion rates and reliability.

Better still, cloud fax is easy-to-use on the desktop, web, on the go (iOS and Android smartphones and tablets) and through an integration with enterprise-level APIs.

Bottom Line

Fax server environments cost significantly more, take more to maintain, and require more effort to deploy when compared to digital cloud fax technology.

Replace fax servers with cloud fax to eliminate major capital expenditures associated with faxing equipment – and the fax server -- and reduce fax expenses to a low operational cost. This means more to your bottom line. Furthermore, cloud fax requires no additional effort and time to deploy, is far more reliable, scalable, and flexible than other options.
