What you’ve wanted to know about RightFax, but were afraid to ask

July 21, 2015 By Fax Girl Leave a Comment

Why are we still using fax as a technology?
Fax is not going anywhere until another technology comes along that is as secure and reliable {or until the government relaxes data privacy laws — which is unlikely}. Fax is a global business communication tool {almost every business still faxes}. There are over 100 million fax machines still in use.  Faxes have an audit trail {think confirmed message receipt},  you know it got to where your intended recipient.

Isn’t email sufficient?
Email is sent over the internet and can easily be hacked and data can be compromised. RightFax sends and receives documents using your telephone connection or the cloud to connect to the outside world thus delivering them electronically and securely {point-to-point transmission}. Have you ever found an important email in your junk/SPAM folder? What if that was an order from a customer or doctors’ orders? It’s painful just to imagine!

Why can’t I just use a fax machine?
Because it is 2015! Fax machines are great for small home-based businesses, but a fax server is needed when your organization relies on enterprise-grade technology {likely 100 plus employees and lots of fax pages per month}. Fax machines are expensive {toner, paper, maintenance, frustrations like paper jams = “no bueno” as our boss would say}

Is it one-size-fits-all?
Nope! Your business is unique and so is your RightFax environment. RightFax can integrate with your key back-end applications, like ERP, ECM, CRM, EMR, as well as Microsoft Outlook, SharePoint, Office 365, Lotus Notes and more!

Our information is really private. Is RightFax secure enough for me?
RightFax is a legally recognized form of confirmed delivery/receipt in most countries. {HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley and other protected information requirements}. Faxes that show up on your computer are way more private than those that sit on a fax machine waiting for you to come pick up.

Can I still use my current fax number(s)?
Yes! {no need to reprint the biz cards!}
