New technology to the rescue of firms

A new technology which innovatively combines the pluses of both email and fax and offers a quick, easy and cost-effective transfer service has been out-doored in the county.

The technology - Fax2Email is also an answer to the nightmares of organisations that receive large amounts of documentations by fax on regular basis.

Fax2Email is an African electronic faxing solution designed for global use. Now you can receive faxes in your email inbox where faxes can be sent and received electronically as would documents that have been sent using email.

The product is a cutting edge technology that ensures cost cutting, smooth and instant recipient and dispatch of document in real time, Mr. Charles Asante, Group Managing Director, Charlitex Investment Limited, the lead promoters of the technology explained at the official outdooring of the service in Accra.

“This technology will help improve access to communication tools in the country at large. It would also translate to the country’s standing in technological advancement on the continent and the world at large.

“The country will be seen to be proactively ensuring efficient and secure communication, improving its standing as an investment destination,” Mr. Asante cited.

“The fax to email is an innovative way of using the Internet connectivity to send and receive fax messages in one’s email without using the usual fax machine.

“By lowering the hardware requirements to communicating, the setup costs for communications are also lowered. This will improve access to those in the lower income categories, thus bridging the digital divide as more can now receive more information on their inboxes.

“A user now has the ability to seamlessly communicate with both email and fax clients simultaneously, and through the desktop email platform using normal Internet email, attached files are delivered to traditional fax machines and vice versa.”

All you need is Internet connectivity. You don’t need a fax machine at a stationary point to receive it.

Businesses operators can now receive faxes for free in their inboxes, ensuring that all communication formats come to one central point.

The faxes will only be received by the intended recipient, ensuring better security and improved confidentiality of faxes.

Stephen Amoanor Kwao, Minister of State at the Office of the President, pledged government commitment to improve the country’s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector, emphasising that the technology is fast-growing in the continent.

“Government’s support such investment which would create jobs and grow the economy,” Mr. Kwao stressed.
