It certainly can\u2019t have anything to do with the contemporary application of the technology. In my Twitter timeline I recently stumbled (virtually) upon this tweet from S\u00e9bastien Delorme, who mocks the fact that entering a fax number on a website or in an application could still be mandatory in 2018: <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"es\">Bienvenue en 2018 ! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Cw3pmFJtpc\">pic.twitter.com\/Cw3pmFJtpc<\/a><\/p>\n<p> \u2014 S\u00e9bastien Delorme (@sebcbien) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sebcbien\/status\/956835943712985088?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">26. Januar 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> Presumably when Mr. Delorme hears the word fax, like for so many people, it probably conjures up an image for him of a fax machine filled with a roll of heat-sensitive paper. However, it appears to have escaped his radar that fax still remains the messaging protocol with the most compliance features. And in these times of digital transformation the medium now functions totally uncoupled from the hardware requirements of fax machine or fax server \u2013 as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retarus.com\/it\/fax-server-replacement\/\">fax service from the cloud<\/a>, which provides totally new benefits. In Retarus\u2019 Global Delivery Network, for instance, it offers optimum delivery rates, intelligent routing and capacity on demand. We can add value to incoming faxes using barcode recognition and OCR, enabling us to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retarus.com\/it\/products\/managed-capture-services\/\">forward structured data straight into your systems<\/a>.
