Why Do Companies Fax?
Why Do Companies Fax?
Scott Hagenuson March 28, 2012
In all my years of involvement with the fax server software industry, telephone systems, a plethora of industry sectors, and small to enterprise business in general, I cannot remember one person ever telling me they love to fax.
So why do companies fax? It’s not because they want to, but more because they have to. There are several reasons for this. The type of customers they have, legislation, regulation, the age of the industry and so on.
