As emerging technologies storm their way into every industry, almost every aspect of business seems to be moving to the Internet. Document management, entertainment, shopping and health are all taking the digital route, so why should fax communications not follow suit? This was Concord Technologies’ line of thinking, as it expanded existing coverage in its international markets as well as extended its global presence.

As a result, Concord, well known for its cloud-based, hosted fax service that has been specifically designed for the needs of mid-size and large enterprise businesses, will now offer fax online services to Australia, New Zealand and Israel.

“We are excited to introduce our services to these new markets today and have received a very positive response from our largest enterprise customers, on our continued investments to meet their global needs,” noted John Harrison, senior vice president, sales and marketing at Concord Technologies.

The benefits of online faxing are many. For starters, there is the added savings of time and money, as there is no expenditure incurred on toner, paper, maintenance and machine repairs. And, apart from being cost-effective, efficient and easy to learn, it is reliable, secure and fast.

"Concord is committed to the expansion of our network, to meet the growing demand of our international enterprise customers for a reliable, secure and efficient Internet Fax service with worldwide coverage,” Harrison added.

The company’s fax online integrates well with Microsoft (News - Alert) Exchange, Microsoft office 365 and existing backend systems. Its secure fax delivery system is fully compliant with the payment card industry data security standard, the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act and the health insurance portability and accountability act.

The company also plans to introduce local toll-free service in key international markets and expanded local number portability services around the globe. Harrison has promised some exciting announcements over the next couple of months, and it seems the company will certainly deliver on its promises.

Concord Technologies, an innovative leader in the hosted fax industry, continues its global expansion to provide support for the growing number of European customers, with its new office opening in Munich, Germany.
