Fax machines can transmit anything already on paper . Oh, that's already what is happening with a fax. Fax numbers don't change as often as email addresses . Even with ever-changing area codes, fax numbers are more reliable to reach the person. Fax numbers follow companies not people .
Email is very personal to an individual.
Thus, you must know the specific address of each person that you want to communicate with. Not everyone has an email address . Recently, I participated in a conference call with an organization that I belong to and was surprised at the number of people and member businesses that this is true for. Obviously, more and more people will become email-enabled. If your fax machine is still part of your corporate communication strategy, then you must consider how you are using it in your environment and how that use can be made more efficient.
