You pay for this in data entry. Sending pages, means that someone has to retype the data into a database compared to sending it in some kind of data structure that can be imported. Or worse the data doesnt get entered, and it ends up in a filing cabinet.

God forbid that data not be vacuumed up never to be seen again except by the advertisers. /s A file cabinet in the back office probably handles most people's use cases for documents they receive by fax 90% as well as any digital solution with a heck of a lot less effort.

- basch 8y agoSo instead of me making a call to a database, a human has to be involved before I get my data.
- fiddlerwoaroof 8y agoThere's no reason they have to store the faxed doucments in paper form (except, possibly, for questions of authenticity but, even then, they could also save a digital version of every fax they receive)
