Enhance Staff Productivity for Better Patient Care

Patient care goes well beyond bedside care. It starts behind the scenes with streamlined processes — like online faxing with eFax.

As the evolving regulatory landscape places greater importance on data privacy and security, enterprises rely on business solutions that save time and money while guaranteeing compliance.

The art of faxing may sound like an activity consigned to the 20th Century. Yet many businesses still rely on sending critical data via fax, including financial organizations, healthcare providers, and manufacturing firms.

Sending information from one fax machine to another can be time-consuming, costly, and insecure, with printed fax messages being easy for anyone in an office to pick up. But enterprise online cloud faxing for business enables companies to remove these challenges, allowing them to easily send and receive faxes online.

Why Faxing Remains Crucial for Businesses

Web-based services have made faxing one of the best ways to share documents online. It allows financial firms to authorize transactions, health providers to share test results with patients, and manufacturers to approve new products and more. The advantages of sending an enterprise fax online include:

Document signing: Faxing is crucial for businesses that need to send and receive signed documents, such as contracts or project scope agreements. Online faxing makes it easy to sign a piece of paper and quickly submit it to their recipient without downloading various files and creating a digital signature.

Why Faxing Remains Crucial for Businesses

Greater security: Many enterprises continue to rely on faxing due to its security benefits over other digital communication formats. An e-signature may not carry the same weight of reliability as a legitimate pen-and-paper signature shared via fax. So online faxing provides the added security that a contract has come from a trusted individual. Additionally, online fax services enhance enterprise compliance with data privacy regulations like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Immediate data: Faxing remains vital to companies in the legal and medical sectors as it enables them to send and receive messages instantaneously. Doctors and lawyers can quickly share visual information with their patients and clients and hold it up as evidence in court.

Cost reduction: Moving to an online faxing solution enables enterprises to reduce the costs of sending messages between fax machines. It eliminates the need for on-site fax hardware and software, which can be expensive to purchase and maintain, and removes the need to buy reams of paper to send and receive faxes.

Send faxes via email: Another option is to pair an eFax Corporate account with corporate email addresses. This enables all employees to gain access to the faxing service and securely send fax messages from their email inboxes on any device.
