The main function of a fax server is to automatically convert documents into fax format and then transmit them to recipients. The fax server also accepts fax calls and saves received faxes as files in the cloud, and sends a copy of received messages to customers by e-mail. Received faxes can be printed like any other document.
Large companies often exchange documents with partners in other countries. To speed up the work in such organizations, a fax server is usually used. This significantly improves the quality of work, thus increasing income and reducing costs.
There are several basic scenarios for starting a fax server. The first option is a completely isolated system with its own applications, operating in the intranet and connected to private phone lines. This option is suitable for companies with very high requirements for document confidentiality. The second option is a partially cloud-based solution, in which documents are processed and stored inside the company`s network, and delivery takes place via cloud communication channels. This solution is often implemented by connecting enterprise solutions to a fax server API. The third option is a completely cloud-based solution that customers can use through desktop or smartphone apps or through a browser. All documents are processed and stored in the cloud and delivered via fax service communication channels. byFax can be used in any of these scenarios.
