Hence to realize maximum benefits from Internet faxing, the fax solutions must be scaleable and must meet the need of all the users in an organization. These may be an individual desktop PC user, or departments with heavy faxing needs such as fax broadcast, or traditional fax users with small to medium fax loads. It does not take long to figure out that substantial savings can be realized by sending the faxes over the Internet. In fact, more and more companies are doing just that. It is expected that companies using Internet faxing will grow more than 10 times during 1999.
