I found a recent article at Ezine Articles by Rache Young that outlines some very obvious and basic benefits to using email fax over the traditional fax machine.

She first discusses the mainstream uses of the fax machine in the 1980’s:

“With the invention of the fax machine, all you had to do was place your document on a fax machine, dial the phone number of another fax machine anywhere in the world, and by the magic of technology the document would come out on the other side looking just like it did when you sent it.”

This operation was quite remarkable for it’s time. We had gone a long way since the Pony Express. Now we could send documents in minutes over the phone line.

But things got even faster in the 1990’s. Now everyone was sending info in seconds through the Internet. Young says:

“With today’s advanced technology a simple computer, with an Internet connection, is all that is required to send your email to fax machine documents to anywhere in the world.”

The biggest advantage to email fax is it’s cost savings. You don’t have to purchase fax machines anymore. And you save time since the new technology is faster. You don’t need a dedicated line anymore simply for faxes. No more long distance phone charges. Once again, technology is proving a boon to businesses wanting greater efficiency and greater cost savings.
