Learn how using hosted fax services as an existing business continuity (BC) solution can not only reduce, but eliminate, the risks of a communication disruption.

To learn more, here is a great white paper: 7 Steps to Business Continuity with Hosted Fax

We'll give you the first three...

1. (Clearly) Use a Hosted Fax Service to Replace or Supplement Your Existing Fax System
   Using a hosted fax service as a backup system is not just an obvious, but also an undeniable, fax continuity solution. Any fax machine is a potential point of failure: It can run out of paper or toner; lose its connection to the phone system; have a software / hardware problem. Any number of malfunctions cuts off fax connectivity for the users of the machine. One common alternative is to consolidate enterprise-wide fax capability on a premises-based fax server.
   
   
2. Implement a Hosted Fax Service that Seamlessly Integrates with Your Existing Fax System
   
   Business continuity is hardly continuous if users have to change the way they send and receive faxes. The goal of any business leader searching for an uninterruptable fax solution is a solution that seamlessly integrates with the existing business process and which is completely transparent to the end user. Ideally, a fax system or a telephone line could fail with no impact on the business and no awareness on the part of the fax users.
   
   
3. Set up an Available-On-Demand, Failover Hosted Fax Service (Pay Only for What You Use)
   
   Fax machines have associated costs: paper, toner, maintenance, and the fixed, monthly cost of a phone line. While fax servers are much more efficient, they still require fixed-cost telephony connections and maintenance – regardless of fax volumes. In other words, even when a fax machine/server fails and faxing stops, the costs continue.
