Bitkom, the German IT sector association, recently conducted a survey to find out the extent to which German companies are still sending faxes. The outcome: 77 percent of all companies are communicating via fax, and 25 percent responded that they are using fax often or very often. There are very good reasons for this.

For your customers, partners, and suppliers which are sending time critical information, providing an immediate confirmation on fax receipt can be a game changer. It’s why Retarus offers its market leading fax services with an often underappreciated feature, Fax Auto Reply.

Since we last wrote about the decommissioning of POTS lines in the US and across Europe, the deadlines continue to draw near, making it increasingly urgent for companies to migrate their voice communications to over IP (as a result of all telephone exchanges soon to be inoperative). The switch-off affects both the US as well as all European countries.
