Given that electronic mail is the method of choice for most communication, the only benefits an internet fax system offer to a business are when handling hardcopy or communicating with a non-email enabled offices.In the first case, a signed or original document might need to be sent. A fax system will be faster than mail delivery. In the second instance, some offices may not be able to receive email (for technical or security reasons, perhaps), but may have a fax machine.If your business does not handle hardcopy often, or if you do not often encounter technical barriers to email, then there will be no benefit.
