How virtual fax enables remote working
Recent events have caused many challenges and stress for businesses all around the globe. Many companies have had to implement remote working policies. This has led to them needing technology that enables employees to continue working as normal as possible from home. We have noticed an increase in demand for cloud solutions that can be configured and setup remotely to allow employees working from home the capabilities of an uninterrupted workflow.
Many companies still use MFPs (multi function printers) or fax machines and are going to need a virtual fax solution to ensure there is no disruption in communication. Many offices are closed and physically going to the office is prohibited or inconvenient and someone may only be able to enter to collect faxes once a day. This can lead to them missing urgent faxes as they may not receive them till the next day and it can delay response time. By using a virtual fax solution you can avoid all this.
What is eComFax?
eComFax is a cloud based virtual fax service that allows companies to send and receive faxes and SMSes from virtually any place that has an Internet connection: either via email or through the cloud-based platform of the fax provider. In this case, there is no need for software, fax server, or a fax machine, as longer as the sender and the receiver have an electronic device (a computer, tablet, mobile phone, etc.) with an Internet connection. eComFax ensures you comply with regulations across all industries such as HIPPA, MiFID II, CCPA and Dodd-Frank, and many others. You can connect it to your corporate email so employees can receive and send faxes while working from home. Ensuring no important communications or documents are missed or send encrypted SMS messages to customers with any updates or alerts.

To put it simply, virtual fax enables employees to have the full capabilities that they would have in the office in terms of communication. With eComFax you can send and receive faxes documents or even certified SMS messages from any device or location as long as you have an Internet connection.
