Few technologies pair together as well as mobile devices and the cloud. Cloud connectivity enables millions of people to handle a number of tasks with greater convenience than ever. All it takes is an Internet connection and the rights apps to perform an increasing number of professional duties.
This is why businesses should be interested in pursuing cloud for any and all daily operations. Cloud has a transformative property that is is helping to redefine traditional workplace assets, including – but not limited to – the fax machine. As such, having a diverse set of cloud services on-hand can help to empower employees in new ways.
"Cloud mobility is an emerging trend aimed at making workload migration across cloud platforms seamless," stated Gigaom Research. "It also makes managing distributed private-cloud deployments efficient and cost-effective."
Cloud becoming IT status quo
There may have been a time when the cloud was widely-feared, but that day seems to have passed in the enterprise world. According to eWEEK contributor Nathan Eddy, a recent study from CompTIA found that 90 percent of companies are using cloud computing powers of some kind. This is likely because there are so many classic office channels – like faxing – that are increasingly found to be more effective in a software-defined environment.
Cloud-based faxing is becoming essential
There are many industries out there that still need fax capabilities. This is due to the insufficient security commonly found in email clients. Simple encryptions and weak network protections – not to mention simple human error – have caused more than just a few data breaches. Yet email remains a popular resource due to its convenience and inherent mobility. Many people have used this as evidence that the fax machine is dead, but that would imply that the technology behind it has no value in the modern day. Clearly this is not the case, but that doesn't mean that it can't be updated a little bit.
Cloud-based fax allows for secure mobility to occur. People generally want to do well at their jobs, and so they turn to the tools that will help them in the simplest way possible. This has faxing in the cloud written all over it. This is a prime example of why organizations need to make cloud-based investments, and faxing is a great place to start.
