Conventional manual faxing involves printing a document from a PC, walking to the fax machine, filling out a cover sheet, dialing, sending, and waiting to make sure the transmission was successful. And co-workers are often sidetracked on the way to or from the fax machine. Research shows that sending one fax manually takes an average of 10 minutes. Sending a fax automatically is easier, more efficient, and faster.

Today's forward-looking enterprises demand solutions that not only accelerate information delivery but also reduce the cost of doing business. They also want the kind of rich functionality and xceptional reliability that Esker Fax delivers.

Typically, enterprises use Esker Fax to automate delivery of documents such as purchase orders, acknowledgements, invoices, credit applications, quotes, reports, notifications, invoices and financial statements directly from enterprise applications without requiring programming changes to these applications.
