Why Fax is still important
There are currently 43 million fax machines in use across the globe.
Approximately 17 billion faxes are sent annually.
The vast majority of US businesses use fax regularly. Why?
Security
Fax is recognized as more secure.
Fax is more secure than email and cloud file sharing because it’s less exposed. Email addresses and passwords are leaked and scraped from the internet every day. Data breaches happen on even the most secure cloud platforms. But fax machines are far more difficult to breach.
Legality
Faxing is heavily used in the medical, legal, and other professional industries.
Faxing meets HIPAA privacy standards.
Simplicity
Fax machines are everywhere and easy to use.
They are highly interoperable.
