Fax documents are legally binding documents. As a trusted method of secure information exchange, fax is used primarily by industries including; healthcare, government, finance & manufacturing.
4. Cost-effective

5. Fax technology is evolving
It’s deeply rooted within organisations around the world. With digital transformation, fax has also evolved to integrate into digital workflows and existing software. With API tools available to developers making integrations easier than ever.
