    Why Scan to Fax is Replacing the Traditional Fax

    While the technology behind the fax machine was invented many decades ago, it didn’t
    become a widespread, popular device in the workplace until the 1980s. Today, the
    traditional fax machine now holds a place as a relic in the Smithsonian.

    The fax machine hit its peak in 1997 when around 3.6 million were sold that year. If you
    look at other technologies available in 1997, you’ll wonder why any company would still
    be utilizing the stand-alone fax machine. In 1997, you were probably using RealPlayer to
    listen to music on your computer; AOL was king for Internet and email use and Netscape
    was a wildly popular browser.

    You also likely used Lycos or AltaVista for searching the Web; the most popular monitor
    was the 640x480, low-res option and CD burners were new and very expensive. The
    antenna on the newest mobile phones were finally built inside the device and touch
    screens were still years away.

    Given the technology that was available in 1997 and has since been left in the dust by
    newer, better engineering, why would you still be using the analog fax machine?

    The fax machine has evolved into something quite different than what it was back in its
    heyday. We now have IP fax, which is far superior for many reasons. IP fax can provide
    your company with cost savings, storage efficiencies and a more “green” way of running
    your business. For instance, with IP fax, you don’t have a paper copy of the fax – it’s all
    electronic, which means it’s stored digitally. There is no longer a reason to order reams of
    paper to fill your machine.

    If you’ve made the decision to ditch your stand-alone machine, you’re taking steps in the
    right direction to better manage your data. Companies that have taken the leap to IP fax
    have reduced their costs, increased their productivity and improved their services.
    Furthermore, they’re also more efficient at handling their regulatory requirements that
    govern how companies communicate with consumers.

    As Internet speeds and availability have improved since 1997 and nearly everyone is
    connected over the worldwide web, it makes sense that the stand-alone fax has become a
    relic. While the technology is still in use by companies that have a hard time letting go of
    the past (or in Japan where the business culture still has a place in its heart for the analog
    fax), the IP fax has definitely become the go-to method for faxing documents.
