Business travel is a reality in today’s world.  It’s not unusual for a business to be run from airport waiting rooms and via laptops, cellphones, and wireless hotspots.  Many times, a person’s normal workweek involves travel (by plane, train, or automobile) anywhere from one to seven days a week.  It can be grueling, but for many people, business travel can also be enjoyable and interesting.

But no matter how much work can be done via cell phone and virtual meetings, there are always going to be business matters that will require sending or receiving fax transmissions.  Here’s the problem for regular and/or constant business travelers:  how to receive your vitally important faxes when you’re rushing to catch a flight or to make a business lunch meeting?  It’s hard to stop everything to collect the hotel front desk’s fax number, send the number to the folks you need to send you your fax, and then wait for the fax to come through. 

A great solution is to use fax by email.  Yes, email fax is a great convenience for business travelers whose packed daily planners don’t leave so much as five minutes to find a fax machine.  Instead of looking for copy stores, hotel front desks, or another random spot with a fax machine, just use our email fax service and in no time at all, you’ll have the fax you need, right in your email.  No question about it, the ease and convenience of fax by email cannot be beat, particularly for business travelers.

One of the most exciting things about online faxing is that it makes faxing capabilities a possibility literally any time and anywhere. For business travelers, this is especially useful. As an employer, you can send your employees to conferences, events, or distant business calls with the confidence that they can still perform their regular workplace duties while on the road. Anywhere with internet access allows you to send an online fax without any need for fax machines or phone lines.

As technology advances, the amount of work than an employee can accomplish during a single day continues to expand right along with the capabilities of the equipment they use. This means that a New York based business can send a representative to a conference in Seattle, and that employee can use a lunch break to respond to faxes from a client in San Antonio. No longer is office faxing limited to proximity around a single machine.

With GoFaxer, your business travel opportunities are practically endless. Our risk free trial allows you to see for yourself how advantageous fax to email service can be for a business of any size. Whether you are big or small, local or national, GoFaxer can help your business run more smoothly.

For business travelers on the go, a new mini-notebook has recently been released that will make business travel even easier. Manufactured by computer maker CTL, the new mini-notebook is being called the “IL1.” It comes equipped with a seven inch screen, weighs in under three pounds, and has standard Wi-Fi wireless capabilities. In addition, the IL1 from CTL has a battery that will last for four or five hours.

Other features of this business oriented mini notebook include USB ports to make external devices easy to use, plus an internal microphone and digital camera. This makes even web-conferencing possible if your employee is away at a conference but needs to be involved in work back at the office. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the CTL IL1, however, is its price. This mini-notebook costs less than $400. If you want your machine equipped with Windows, it will cost you $389, while if you prefer Linux the cost is just $349.

This makes business travel much easier than ever before. And with online fax service, such as GoFaxer’s easy fax to email product, you can even send and receive faxes from your office fax number while away on business. All you need is an internet connection to make internet fax a reality. These developments are sure to benefit any business that sends employees on the road, no matter how short or long the distance.
