Before fax, the fastest you could send something was in a day, through Fed Ex, or some other high end shipping method. It was overnighted by plane. Then the fax machine became mainstream in the 80’s, allowing you to send something in minutes, over the phone line. Again, a major innovation in the speed of communication.

But in the 90’s, we saw the next giant leap into a faster world. The Internet was born. And with it came email, a form of sending messages and documents through the Internet in seconds. Funnily enough, this didn’t just become popular for sending messages over long distances. It also became enormously popular for sending messages over short distances. Everything is sent through email these days.

Well, not everything. There still are businesses and organizations that have fax machines. And although most everyone has email and the Internet, there may be times when they prefer that a document be sent through fax. If this ever happens, your organization is required to have access to the technology. But who wants to go out and buy a new fax machine when they can send most of their documents through the Internet?

That’s where Internet fax comes into play. You can send documents to fax machines, through an Internet based system. It’s as easy as sending an email, and significantly cheaper than fax technology.
