For many people, faxing is a term tantamount to traditional clunky machines with endless paper trails and blotchy ink toner, but you might be surprised to learn that faxing has had a rather glorious digital makeover.
Faxing is now less about huge machines taking up an entire corner of the office and more about quick, silent, digitized communication from the comfort of your smartphone through a fax app.
The sudden transformation from one extreme to the other – without any gradual evolution towards it – has been nothing short of remarkable. The new way of faxing is, quite frankly, utterly amazing in comparison to ‘the old way.’
New Era of Faxing
Modern-day faxing means finishing a coffee at your favorite café before tapping out a few commands on the Fax Burner fax app to send an important contract to a client, a wedding invite to a friend, or a 12-inch Magartita to the local Pizza place.
This is the new dawn of faxing. Spontaneous. Agile. Unbound by physical constraints!
Old Meets New
The term ‘faxing’ probably paints a specific picture of sending regular documents from your smartphone to the recipient’s fax number. But fax apps offer more.
The main premise of Fax Burner, for example, is to select a document from your phone files (or scan/photograph a document), upload it to the Fax Burner app, enter the number, and send it. But our fax app is much more than that: it also ties into your digital work through applications like Gmail, Google Docs, and iNotes.
Remote Work’s New Ally
The fax app has also found a new partner in the world of remote work. As workspaces become more virtual, fax apps offer a clever and reliable way to exchange documents that still require a level of formality and security – think legal documents, contracts, or sensitive information that email just can’t handle efficiently.
Sustainability Meets Convenience
Fax apps are also a friend to the environment, as each digital fax sent is a sheet of paper saved. Think of the ink toner we are saving, also. It’s a small step towards a greener world, but a step in the right direction nevertheless.
Final Thoughts
The modern fax app role is a seriously useful application that is beginning to transform how we exchange documents. In that sense, it is starting to compete with email for sending and receiving documents, but as the technology continues to evolve, could it ever match email, like for like? It sounds far-reaching, but fax apps are booming, so who knows?
