Why would anyone be concerned about the environment right now? For starters, we still don’t know how Mother Nature is getting depleted. We have yet to realise that what goes around comes around so we will be hurt too. Please think of the environment. Go Green.

There is a lot of buzz in offices using these words…. Go green, Go paperless but honestly are we doing our bit towards that? Go green is all about saving the environment and saving money. The biggest culprit hindering our Go Green way is the ubiquitous Paper. Paper waste is  probably the biggest item in any company’s landfill. Copiers, printers and fax machines are the fastest  growing area of energy consumption which use tonnes of paper and burn a deep hole in the environment. Thus the more you digitize  your paper and keep it on-line or in the control of your computer  systems; the more money you save. The more secure your  information is; the more compliant you become. So how does one get started in this direction?

Look for a simple and cost effective green solution that digitises your faxes. A Fax server provides the real solution. Fax technology is ubiquitous and faxing is recognized as one of the few electronic mediums where documents can be easily transferred and tracked in real-time. Thus, faxing remains an important component of business communications today.

A modern fax server provides an organization with the flexibility to distribute virtually any document from any application, using a central server integrated into a company’s network. Fax servers are purchased to replace fax machines, leverage investments in multi-function printers or automate part or all of a manual paper based process (for example, sending a fax automatically from a CRM or ERP application or routing a fax based on information contained in the fax).

Fax server purchases are generally justified on the cost savings that they drive within the first twelve months of implementation. But there are many other benefits that a fax server provides, including improved employee productivity and organizational effectiveness, process improvement, leveraging IP and VoIP infrastructure investments, document tracking for regulatory purposes, paper wastage reduction, storage benefits and meeting compliance and information security needs.
