Tom:<<1. People at work. Don't need it. We have plenty of fax machines.
2. People at home. If they don't already own a fax machine, they're not getting faxes. Don't need efax either.
3. Business travelers. Now how many actually carry a portable printer with them? Without a printer, how do you print out the information to take it to a business meeting or to study them, especially if the fax contains multiple pages? Scroll up, scroll down, transcribe the fax by hand? Try that when you have a spread sheet. Nope, not gonna work either. Better have them sent to the hotel.>>
It would be nice if you understood the product before you trashed the product.
1. Although Efax specifically mentioned mobile workers who worked outside of an office environment {can you say telecommuters?} as beneficiaries of its product you saw fit to start with an office example. OK, fine, instead of someone faxing some thing to you to one of your office's fax machines they fax it to your e-mail. Instead of hoping some underpaid and overworked clerical person gathers up all the loose pages, puts it in proper order and actually gets it to you the same day; your fax shows up in your e-mail 5 minutes after it is faxed to you. You, then, have the option and flexibility of simply saving it, sharing it with others via e-mail, printing it on your office printer or simply deleting it. The need for your office to have all those expensive fax machines is over. One will do, just so you can transmit fax documents to others.
2.& 3. You ever work out of your house as a telecommuter and travel away from your home office for about 3 nights? Well, guess what, some pretty important faxes are sitting on your fax machine at home while you are on the road. How convenient! Of course, maybe there were so many faxes sent to the cheap machine your company graciously provided to you that it ran out of paper, or the cartridge ran out of ink, or it just simply broke down again and some important fax wasn't even received. Gee, it would have been great if they could have just faxed to my e-mail.
I'm gonna sign up. It sounds to me like this product can save my company money AND help me with my work at the same time. How nice. Jeff
