Many small to medium size organizations still use standalone fax machines to conduct daily business. What they might not realize is the amount of money they are spending annually simply to maintain a single machine. One Fax machine can cost an average of $1000 annually to maintain. This is not even taking to account the amount of time that is wasted from retrieving these faxes from the machine and ensuring they are directed to the appropriate recipient.

OpenText fax solutions eliminate the need for fax machines and keep businesses from losing important information, thus saving time and money. Below are some questions to take into account for deciding to implement a faxing solution to replace fax machines in your organization:

• How much do you spend annually on maintaining fax machines in your office? (paper, toner, repairs etc.)
• How much time are associates wasting on a daily basis from retrieving, and rescanning faxes from machines?
• Is vital information being lost in fax transactions?
• Would you like to streamline your business to ease the amount manual paper processes?
• Are there security and compliance issues that you face from having fax machines outputting sensitive information?
• Do you want better control and availability to see audit trails of your faxes?
