- FaxFinder Saves Power, Paper and Toner while Providing Improved Security

Organizations can now become more eco-friendly by replacing up to eight individual fax machines with a single networked FaxFinder(R) Fax Server from Multi-Tech(R) Systems. In addition to delivering faxes electronically to the desktop, the FaxFinder Fax Server reduces power consumption by consolidating individual fax machine hardware plus saves paper and toner by converting a paper workflow environment into a more unified communications digital environment. Added security comes because faxes will not be sent to a centralized location(s) and have to be hand delivered to the proper recipients.

We all want to be environmentally conscientious in our business decisions, states Bill Chesney, Vice President of Sales for Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. The FaxFinder is a product that is a good environmental business decision because it can save electricity, toner and paper. We know the dream of a 'paperless society' is gone. Computers have given us even more paperwork, but a FaxFinder can put a dent into how much paper we consume.

In saved paper alone, the ROI for a FaxFinder can be under a year. Research shows that a busy fax machine can use on average between 500 and 3000 pages a day depending on the size of the organization. Taking the low average of a ream of paper, that's up to US$3.00 per day saving when using a paperless FaxFinder. At that rate, the ROI on an MSRP of US$699.00 single port FaxFinder in paper savings alone will be under one year. Add to that the electrical power and toner costs plus additional security, because no one sees the fax except the intended person, and the FaxFinder becomes a purchase that can help increase the bottom line while also helping keep our environment a little bit cleaner.

The Multi-Tech FaxFinder, (in one to eight port models) is connected to a PBX via a standard analog port(s) and to an organization's Local Area Network (LAN) by a built-in 10/100BaseT Ethernet(R) interface. DID (Direct-Inward- Dialing) numbers from the telephone company indicate fax extensions for individuals. Fax calls come in as DID numbers, which the PBX sends to the FaxFinder, that routes them to the proper destination.
