eFax: Send faxes over the internet

­ The fax machine has been an important part of office equipment for many years. However, since e-mail has become an increasingly important means of communication that almost all citizens now use, the fax is rarely used. As a result, many companies are toying with the idea of simply decommissioning the fax machine, which consumes space in the office and also incurs maintenance costs.

A great way to get the benefits of fax without having to operate a fax machine is eFax. In this case, the document is simply transmitted to the fax service provider via a computer, which then sends it to the final recipient. This solution allows users to take advantage of all the benefits of the fax machine without having to maintain one themselves. Users can simply scan the documents or create them directly on the computer using a word processing program.
