How to Use Online Cloud Faxing
The key differentiation with online cloud faxing is the ease with which users can send, receive and view their faxes once cumbersome fax machines have been removed from the equation. Now, with cloud faxing, when you want to send a fax, it’s as easy as attaching a document or sending an email. Alternatively, you may use our intuitive web fax portal to upload documents you want to fax and enter recipient fax number.
From there, your documents are encrypted and transmitted so your intended fax recipients can receive your faxes — even over phone lines supporting legacy fax machines. It’s simple, economical and above all, secure.
Whether you need to fax your documents directly from your business applications or using any intuitive end user faxing method we support, our cloud faxing service significantly reduces the total costs associated with your faxing needs by automating delivery, tracking and notifications, all in a secure manner.

Still Using Traditional Fax Machines?
Traditional fax machines require ink, toner, paper and loads of monitoring and maintenance. This combination creates significant ongoing costs that most businesses simply accept because they haven’t looked at an alternative. It’s worth taking a careful look at cloud-based fax services. This more contemporary form of faxing can forever change the playing field for companies that want to continue faxing while simultaneously improving the process.
Cloud-based faxing eliminates the expenses previously allocated to buying, maintaining and servicing operational on-premise fax equipment, while increasing security, reliability and reducing headaches for your IT Team.
Softlinx Cloud Faxing Services are also in full compliance with the regulatory standards set for many industries. This includes highly monitored fields like healthcare, financial services, insurance, higher education, government agencies and contractors relying on secure delivery of fax documents.

Watch Video to Learn MoreThe Security of Softlinx Cloud Faxing
If you or another decision-maker is asking, “Why would we want to switch to cloud faxing?” consider that it offers a secure, compliant faxing solution.
When you switch from an outdated fax system, you gain access to secure cloud faxing that’s only possible through modern data encryption. It protects your data better than physical hardware, which is subject to human error, theft and hackers.
It also improves security over a regular email since our faxing solution is HIPAA-compliant. Email messages are vulnerable on both the sender’s and recipient’s devices — when stored in the email server and while the message is in transit. Cloud faxing, even when accessed via email, keeps your fax documents secure inis encrypted format while at rest in the cloud and being transmitted in transit.
When sending secure cloud faxes using Softlinx, you have protection from both ends of the process. Besides offering encryption, our networks also monitor for viruses. When you submit a fax job via an email or our web fax portal, we authenticate your service access via your registered email address or your login credentials, and send you a delivery status notification once your fax request is processed. We also notify you via email when your fax arrives, or is securely delivered to your network folder location.
Softlinx makes it simple to send a secure fax online. With our intuitive cloud-based fax solution, you can submit outgoing faxes online using any format you like, including: Directly from your business applications using Softlinx fax APIs, Email, Web Portal and Windows desktop Print-to-Fax.
Our solution also lets you fax paper-based documents from an MFP. Using your chosen format, you’ll submit your faxes over a secure, encrypted communication link directly to the Softlinx secure fax service.
Inbound faxes are processed and encrypted in the cloud fax server before delivery. Softlinx delivers your incoming faxes directly to your business applications using Softlinx fax APIs, email inboxes or shared network folders behind your firewall. You may also log in to a Windows fax client or web portal.
With the Softlinx secure business fax solution, your faxes are protected, no matter how you send or receive them.
