Fax isn't dead...but the fax machine may be

The blogger at ScanGuru wrote up an interesting post titled Isn’t fax dead yet. In it, he hit on the point that fax remains a standard for transmission of paper information for many businesses (he is recommending a move to network faxing). One point that ScanGuru made about why faxing is still alive and well in organizations is that it is an accepted and fully adopted standard and that some people just refuse to give it up. Very true…faxing is not going away.

However, I can envision the problems of trying to have people change from using an analog fax machine to their desktop for outbound faxing. And, you still need something to do the document imaging work of converting the paper. What ScanGuru missed out on is that the natural replacement for the fax machine is the copier or MFP. It is just as accepted and fully adopted as the fax machine (maybe more) and can be easily tied into the network fax systems with document imaging software. So, if you are still using faxing for transmission of paper, leverage your MFP…it can do more than you may think.

Ah, I did in fact leave that out of the article. eCopy is a great tool for fax-enabling the MFP. The connectors to RightFax and other network fax software make it a great tool for leveraging the MFP, and actually making it "multi-functional".
