The Truth About Faxing

Faxing seems like a relic of a bygone era, a product representative of the time before cell phones, a time when technology came in any color, as long as that color was beige. Well, that is how it appears to be to the average person, at least. To businesses and individuals whose work involves operating according to the rules of compliances, such as HIPAA and FERPA, faxing is a necessity.

Fax vs. Email

The reality of the situation is that we have become heavily reliant on email, which is not very well secured. With time, we've entered a scenario where viruses, spyware, and phishing attempts are prevalent within the world of email.

These tricks aren't as easy to spot as the Nigerian prince scams of old, and can lead to massive information leaks, time loss, and stolen funds. Faxing avoids those issues, providing a clear method for digital communication that circumvents the trickery that can be found in an email inbox.

Additional Advantages

Security

The most notable feature included with our digital fax solutions is end-to-end encryption, which protects the content of your message on every step of its journey, as well as when it arrives. The message can only be opened by the intended recipient, who possesses the decryption key that’ll allow the message to be opened. This is ideal for all sensitive matters, ranging from business secrets to private medical information, and allows for you to communicate digitally while meeting the stipulations of many compliance policies, including HIPAA. It also means that your business can be more comfortable in using e-signatures, where the security will prevent any fraudulent interactions, and guarantee that no one’s signature will be copied and used for nefarious purposes.

Quality-of-Life

TIn addition to security, there are some quality-of-life advantages digital fax solutions hold over email, with our personal favorite granting senders the knowledge as to the state of their message; with verifications informing them if their message has been sent and delivered. Email, on the other hand, typically only lets you know when something fails to deliver, via a 'bounce back' message. Some others include additional privacy, as it is harder for scammers to get ahold and reach out to your fax line, and that fax lines circumvent most spam filters—so recipients won't lose your message in a sea of spam and junk mail.
