Fax is an efficiency killer but survives

Fax kills efficiency, reduces productivity and lacks standardization. However, fax is still a common technology in many industries. It is strongly used in financial services, healthcare, higher education, shipping and logistics that are focused on privacy and confidentiality. Importantly, anyone can use and access it because it is a readily available and simple to use transmission medium. This is the reason why it has survived in some main industries regardless of its disadvantages.

Several amazing statistics about global fax usage:

There are 46,3 million fax machines in the world which are used most in USA and Japan (respectively 17 million ones and 11 million ones).

The total faxes sent in a year are near 17 millions equivalent to 1373 kilometers high of paper or worth 2 millions trees of paper.

By forcing paper or making digital documents into your organization difficult, fax kills efficiency and productivity along with the impact on trees. So, why not go green with iFax, a iFORM Decisions solution?

It enables to transmit or receive faxes for business forms, reports and checks.  It saves time and money when eliminating paper and the need for office workers to walk to standalone fax devices.
