Fax communications cannot be hacked, is a legally binding document, and continues to be a critical communications tool for hospitals, insurance and financial companies, radiology groups, and manufacturing organizations. Companies use fax server technology products to automatically route inbound and outbound faxes to and from users, groups and departments, electronically, taking advantage of corporate standard analog, digital or VoIP telecommunications infrastructure.

Other companies use these solutions to "automate" the delivery of invoices, order confirmations, purchase orders, and other transactional documents via fax, and also email where they can, and print if/when they have to, from ERP solutions like SAP, Oracle, and others. Companies can reap huge costs savings in both scenarios, when compared to sending faxes using a manual fax machine or sending invoices and other transactional documents through the mail. Some analysts say the savings is as much as 90%. Another way to look at it - a single page fax costs about $0.05 to send, where it would cost about $1.25 to mail that same piece (estimate includes labor, print, and postage costs).
