Business fax is a service which provides customers with the ability to send faxes from multiple devices,(computer, telex and fax)with enhanced fax features, fax broadcast, automatic multiple fax delivery retries, and reporting on delivery status. The system is based on advanced Store-and-Forward technology. Received messages are stored, converted as needed into alternative message formats (such as E-mail to fax) and then forwarded to their intended destinations. The system utilizes high-speed telecommunication networks, dedicated leased lines, to minimize long distance charges and increase profit margins.
