The (I kid you not!) bureaucratic answer to the abolition of fax machines is: Get a PDF/Word form (yes, Word .doc or .docm, the stuff with the macros and exploints), fill it in, print it out. Stamp and sign the printout. Scan it. Send as email. Get your email rejected because of the 1MB size limit for a 100 page scanned document. Split it into multiple emails. Have the latter half of those emails never arrive because obviously you are a spammer. Give up and send the stack of paper via registered snail mail. Some processes can by now be done via some web form, but often with braindead implementations, and still the necessity to print, sign and send a distilled version of your filing. And there is absolutely no common standard, no common auth, no centralized processes even within the same office, so total chaos and madness. The only saving grace is that by now it has gotten easier to get snail mail stamps as numerical codes or matrix codes to embed in printouts...
