If your needs to fax documents are quite high, you may want to get a fax server for your enterprise. A fax server makes a more cost effective and a far easier solution than having several standalone fax machines. And since they reduce the need for paper, fax servers are also environmentally sound. Your fax costs will be easier to track as fax servers have the capability to log transmissions and produce reports.

Network fax servers have a technological hurdle: you have to work out how to route incoming faxes to the appropriate user on a network. If you cannot solve this problem, you'll have to print faxes sent to a fax server and route them manually. This process is unreliable and time-consuming because you will have to designate an employee to look at the documents and make sure they get to the appropriate people in your organization.

Features of fax servers are dependent on their models, and they vary widely. You may want to look for features such as email integration, ease of use, image resolution, instant group support, caller ID, workstation and server digitization, and remote administration.

You'll find an email integration feature as a necessity for a fax server. The fax server software should interface with your email platform. It can transform faxes into email messages, for off-site retrieval even without fax machines.

A fax server which is easy to use can save your company more money in setup and training time. In addition, be sure sending and receiving features are also easy to perform. You can check out downloadable demos on some companies' websites and try them out before buying fax server hardware. You would not want to miss a business opportunity because your equipment is not working. Hence, choose a fax server that your vendor or in-house support employees can troubleshoot wherever they are.
