by Matt Gerchow
Going paperless when possible can save a lot of money. Google fax is a great alternative for managing fax services for any organization. The benefits are immediate. First you eliminate the need for ink and paper to print faxes. This step alone can be a financial windfall for many. You can also eliminate the need for a dedicated fax line. You will save on long-distance charges for fax transmission and cut your electric consumption. Companies that use faxes extensively can save hundreds of dollars per month. You will also avoid any down time when fax machines crash.
