Enterprise Fax

Category: Hosting Services

​The Enterprise Fax Service (EFS) provides DoIT hosted email customers with the ability to send and/or receive fax documents via Outlook or Fax client. This service can supplement or replace the fax machines that customers are currently using; downstate fax numbers can be moved to the EFS system to avoid having to request new fax numbers for use in the system. Existing multi-purpose imaging devices that print, copy, scan, and fax are also well-suited to be used with EFS. The redundant infrastructure of EFS provides automatic failover server support.
