Fax over IP
According to Boudje Giljam, Marketing & Sales Director of Vox Amvia, “With an increasing number of companies installing VoIP-enabled telephony systems, shifting fax, voice and data to one network makes logical sense, and all but eliminates the need for redundant lines. This makes faxing more efficient and affordable for companies of all sizes.”
Benefits of FoIP
FoIP technology provides lower fax maintenance and operation costs according to Vox Amvia. Deployment is also simplified in a FoIP environment as gateways can be used to link remote offices allowing for greater consolidation of fax services.
Convergence of fax, voice and data reduces management and maintenance costs associated with running each in isolation.
Furthermore, Vox Amvia says that disaster readiness is improved as the location of the fax server is independent to the user. Server deployment can therefore be reduced to one or two strategically located servers. It also takes away the need to purchase back up boards.
Implementation of a FoIP network can enable remote operators to be linked to the fax server providing them with all the compliance benefits, including authentication, management control, archiving and retrieval.
With software only solutions, the fax server environment can be supported on virtual severs, which reduces both power consumption as well as the need for hardware, making it more efficient and cost effective.
