BENEFITS
The Faxcom system provides a number of benefits:
- Reduced hardware and maintenance costs, as physical fax machines are no longer required.
- Greatly reduced monthly telephone costs associated with the use of fax machines, as a dedicated phone line is no longer required for each fax machine.
- Time savings to users, especially when faxing documents created or stored on local or network resources. For example, Word and Excel files can simply be attached to an email message and sent to a fax number.
- Savings of paper resources, as fax messages are delivered directly to the recipient’s County email inbox and aren't printed unless the recipient desires to do so.
- Improved security, as fax transmissions don't have to be printed and are sent directly to intended recipients.
