Fax to the next level: eBot for Cisco Webex and Microsoft Teams
The evolution of communications technology has been abysmal in this last decade, so much so that it is disputed whether the technology has so much potential to develop such significant improvements going forward. This has meant changes and the diversification of both the deployment of media infrastructure in the enterprise environment, as well as the tools themselves, such as SIP phones, social networks, or unified communications platforms like Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Cisco Webex.
Fax and its arrival in the cloud
Furthermore, we are not only talking about diversification, but also about the evolution of technologies that at first glance may seem or sound obsolete, such as fax, yes, do not make a funny face, fax is currently becoming virtual with the digitization process, progressively replacing machines. The servers that host the fax system are moving from operating physically at the users’ facilities, which is called On-Premise deployment, with the security and maintenance costs involved, to being hosted in the Cloud, allowing companies to forget about costs and other headaches, such as compliance and security, which are already intrinsic aspects of the Cloud because their providers work 24/7 to ensure them.
The use of this technology has been increasing in different sectors and, in fact, it is expected to continue growing. This is due to the degree of security it offers, as files remain fully encrypted during transmission, thus complying with strict international data protection regulations, such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability) in the United States or GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) in the European Union, conditions that are not met by email or social network messaging.
Fax providers have developed message modalities to adapt to the needs of the industries that use this technology the most, as is the case of eComFax, which has developed functionalities according to the degree of security required by the nature of the documents transmitted, simplifying the use of fax in corporate environments.
