Avatel Cloud Fax Solution

A Next Generation Fax Platform

When employing a traditional fax machine and phone line, no matter how small your office is, you need at least one machine and phone line — no matter how many people will use it. In a larger office, you may use several fax machines and phone lines, located strategically about the office, to meet your needs. While fax machines may no longer be a practical investment, a cloud fax solution is often the easiest way to send and receive faxes. Improve Fax Processes by eliminating unreliable fax machines, servers, printing, and telecom line costs with internet cloud faxing:

Intuitive, easy-to-use interface – Send your first fax in seconds. Enterprise-scale features but easy enough for any sized business.

Keep your existing fax number – Easily port-in your existing fax number(s). Add a fax number? We will simply provision one for you.

With Avatel’s Cloud Fax Solution, you can save money and time. Reduce toner and paper usage, and no need for a second phone line. Send and receive faxes on the go, during a meeting, or on your mobile device. Go fully digital with our easy-to-use cloud fax service. No more lost paper, wasted time, or missing audit trails.

 Fax-only infrastructure

Been struggling to find a reliable cloud faxing solution? Fax over IP (FoIP) is known to have reliability problems. One big reason is most networks are built for voice. Our backbone is built and optimized specifically for fax, allowing us to maximize quality and deliverability.

Automatic Cloud Storage

Never lose another fax. Every sent and received fax is automatically stored securely in the cloud. Tag your faxes to be searched later. Access your fax history from any device.

Security and Compliance

 

Built to satisfy even the most stringent of security and compliance requirements. User authentication, encrypted document exchange, advanced perimeter defense, and routine data backup are just a few of the things we do to keep your data secure.

HIPAA Fax Requirements and Security

 

 

 

 

 

Certain industries have more stringent security requirements especially if they transmit, store and access confidential information. The difference between standard and encrypted fax options is that encrypted fax complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) within the technical, operational, and administrative framework and offers a more secure way of handling information. Health care providers are required to be HIPAA compliant, however other industries including financial, legal services and real estate may also need a more robust fax solution due to the nature of their business.

Embrace a HIPAA secure cloud faxing solution that works

Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is the 1996 federal ruling that governs patient privacy and what happens to entities that fail to keep patient information secure. Under HIPAA, practitioners must look at the three rules of the act that govern privacy and security. These are as follows:

• Privacy Rule: Ensures privacy by keeping information that could identify a patient protected.
• Security Rule: This rule governs how practitioners keep electronic health records secure.
• Breach Notification Rule: If a security or data breach occurs, this rule governs who an entity notifies and how.

While wading through terminology set forth in HIPAA can be confusing, choosing our cloud fax solution is not. Don’t worry about using cloud fax to send and receive documents, HIPAA allows for cloud service providers to store and transmit sensitive data.

Our HIPAA secure fax service is a top-rated product for sending and receiving faxes from a computer. Since your practice does not need to print out papers, you do not need to worry about storing physical files or destroying them properly after faxing to ensure security compliance.
