Compared to digital alternatives, fax machines are outdated and unsuited to the modern workplace. Incorporating these inherently vulnerable, costly, and resource-wasting machines is no longer viable in your business. Modern, more secure options can provide the same authentic, secure document sharing. With a modern, cost-effective, seamless, and reliable fax solution, documents can be sent and received seamlessly and reliably from anywhere. Find out how Milner's secure cloud fax solutions from XM Fax can help you save time and money, streamline workflows, and meet regulatory compliance more easily.

Make the switch to digital fax

Instead of using POTS lines for faxing, companies need to move to cloud-based fax services. There are many advantages to using digital fax over legacy fax machines, including lower costs, higher quality, and time savings. XmFax addresses some core challenges for businesses today. Digital fax providers contain fax software or apps that can be easily installed on mobile devices and desktop computers, which reduces paper waste and eliminates wait time for your employees whether they are in office, remote workers, or even busy executives on the go. You might even be able to upgrade your existing MFP’s software to enable digital faxing, eliminating the need for any true hardware changes.

There are many advantages to using digital fax over legacy fax machines, including lower costs, higher quality, and time savings.

Moving from traditional fax to digital fax solutions reduces cost, streamlines workflows, enhances security and makes regulatory compliance simple. Paperless faxes can be sent to and received from employees in any manner that suits their personal workflow, while still maintaining top-notch security through direct-to-recipient delivery and centralized record-keeping. A wide range of computers, MFPs, EHR/EMR systems, and mobile devices with apps are all capable of sending faxes. The entire process is fully secure, and the service is compliant with standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, FERPA, PCI DSS, Sarbanes/Oxley and all others.
