“Most of the children are underprivileged and would otherwise not have had any presents this year had it not been for the selfless efforts of Theunette and the contributing community. It gives us great joy to participate and make sure that Christmas will be a cheerful time for these children”, said Badenhorst who handed the presents over on behalf of Sisha.com Systems.

Most of the residents of Ram Kamp live in severe circumstances, in some instances you have whole families staying in a single shack and with other families even living in tents. With little amenities and with hardly enough food to feed their families, Christmas is not necessarily something they look forward too. But through the efforts of generous and caring individuals not only will the children have some holiday cheer in the form of Christmas presents, but also a fantastic Christmas party complete with a hot meal and Santa.

Why SishaFax Fax2Email can help?
A great deal of emphasis has been placed on going green in the last decade. Unfortunately a majority of these green initiatives tend to be expensive. However with Fax2Email the opposite is true. Fax2Email will actually save your business money by reducing or nullifying the need for toner costs, fax line rentals, fax machines, extra electricity costs and most importantly reducing the need for paper.

The difference
To put it in perspective, 1 tree equals 8 333.33 sheets of paper. Since SishaFax converts well over 2,000 000 faxes to Fax2Emails per month, SishaFax actually helps to save over 240 trees per month. That is a massive 2880 trees per year. Or a whole forest if you want to see it that way.

Currently in South Africa the fax industry uses about 225 000 000 sheets of paper per month which equates to 27 000 trees. If we can get a greater shift towards Fax2Email we would see a drastic reduction in not only paper usage but also all the by-products and waste that it produces. To create a piece of paper a tree needs to be cut down, milled, processed, dyed, packaged, transported, the list goes on. Importantly all of these steps involve the creation of harmful CO2 gasses as well as chemicals and industrial waste. Not even to mention the loss of trees and the impact that has on the environment.

To date SishaFax has converted over 89 157 513 sheets of paper to digital faxes. If you were to put these sheets side-by-side, it would equal 26 747km. Or to put it in perspective, this would be more than twice the diameter of the planet earth. If stacked by reams it would exceed the height of Mount Everest.

The future
Fax2Email has seen phenomenal growth in South Africa the last few years. More and more of the major players in the business market in South Africa have converted their companies to use Fax2Email. This is a very encouraging sign and shows the commitment of the big business to contribute to help save our planet and as a bonus they are saving millions of Rands in costs.

Confidentiality
Another benefit is the increased confidentiality and security that Fax2Email provides, whereas normal faxes arrive at the communal fax machine and can be scrutinised by just about anyone. Your SishaFax Fax2Email will go directly to your inbox on your pc, completely private, safe and secure.

This is where SishaFax can make a huge difference to any company’s bottom line. Fax2Email is an incredible cost-cutting solution, it also has the added advantage of both increasing efficiency and security within an organisation. These factors ensure Fax2Email’s importance in any modern organisation. This is why we are implementing Fax2Email on a daily basis in some of South Africa’s largest companies and institutions.

The savings
Firstly, receiving Fax2Email is absolutely free. There are no hidden costs involved. Additionally, instead of faxes coming through expensive office equipment or fax machines, all faxes are delivered straight to the user’s email inbox. That means no paper, expensive ink toner or electricity wastage – this alone cuts costs dramatically. Factoring in savings on office equipment, the cost of fax lines rentals and your Telkom bill on a yearly basis and it all works out to a substantial saving for your organisation.

Increase productivity
Faxes get lost or the line is engaged, all this while you are urgently awaiting important documents. This causes delays in your operation and worse it also causes client inconvenience when asking them to resend faxes. Even if you received a printed fax chances are good that down the line you might have to make use of it again. Normal printed faxes would need to be filed but inadvertently some always get lost.

A stark contrast compared to our Fax2Email service, which will arrive straight to your email inbox. Immediately ready to be actioned with absolutely no lag and better yet no missing faxes. Since it is completely digital, multiple faxes can be delivered simultaneously without your clients ever hearing an engaged tone. Your Fax2Email fax will also forever stay in your inbox should you choose to save it.

Confidentiality
Another benefit is the increased confidentiality and security that Fax2Email provides, whereas normal faxes arrive at the communal fax machine and can be scrutinised by just about anyone. Your SishaFax Fax2Email will go directly to your inbox on your pc, completely private, safe and secure.

IVR systems can be tailored to meet any business’s requirements and are capable of bringing significant benefits to your company.

IVR makes it easy for callers to receive or provide information by being prompted through a series of keystrokes on their mobile or fixed-line phones. Flexible and simple to configure, it’s a highly effective way for businesses to communicate with their client base.

IVR systems can increase business efficiency and productivity by replacing manual or paper-based data collection systems and due to the answering of simple questions being automated through IVR, support consultants are able to focus on more complex problems from clients.

More and more companies are implementing IVR to help reduce the cost of common sales, service, collections, inquiry and support calls. IVR systems not only reduce customer call handling costs but it also reduces human resource inefficiencies and improves the quality of customer service. IVR allows clients to obtain information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week immediately without being placed on hold by support consultants. Missed calls from clients are also minimized since calls are handled automatically by the IVR system.

All SishaIVR application development is conducted in-house thereby ensuring rapid service delivery, improved quality control and customisation to meet each client’s specific requirements.

Benefits of Fax2Email

There are numerous benefits to using Fax2Email. The most compelling has to be the saving of cost and the environmentally friendliness of Fax2Email technology. By receiving a fax as an email the user basically eliminates the need for an expensive fax machine, power costs, extra phone lines, paper for the fax machine, and additional hardware or software costs. The fax is simply attached to an email as a PDF or a TIFF document, depending on the user’s preference. Faxes can now be easily forwarded via email or saved on your computer. This means that your business will increase productivity and at the same time reduce time wastage and costs.

What further enhances this service is the fact that the fax remains private and confidential. It also means no more lost or misplaced faxes and no waiting on important faxes to come through. Since the Fax2Email number is digital and not land line-based, it means that the line can accept multiple faxes at the same time. There will almost never be an engaged tone when sending a fax to a Fax 2 Email number.

Cost

Although the sender of the fax is charged a fixed rate per minute, the receiver will never incur any cost at all. Fax2Email is absolutely free for the receiver. With the current digital technology utilised by Fax2Email services, the sending of faxes to Fax2Email numbers is also much faster and hassle free. This means that in the long run senders will also save on the cost of sending to a Fax2Email number. If you are a user receiving high volumes of faxes, the saving could be astronomical on a yearly or even monthly basis.

The Future is Digital

By implementing state of the art digital technology you will also be ensuring that your business is at the forefront of the digital revolution. Be ahead of the pack and make sure your competitors are left behind. With the natural progression of all digital technologies, Fax2Email technology is also improving continually as new features and functionalities come into play – improvements that would never be possible if you are stuck with an outdated and costly fax machine utilising the same technology that it has been using since the 1980’s.

But like any technology, there are advancements, video cassette to DVD, CD’s to mp3’s, analogue Television to HD television and now fax is also becoming digital with Fax2Email.

Fax2Email is a complete digital fax solution that facilitates the receiving and sending of faxes via email. Fax2Email provides the benefits of email without losing the advantages of conventional faxing

Legislation has played a key role in the prolonged existence of the fax. Whilst email is still the most common form of business communication, until the digital signature is deemed as a legal entity, many industries are still reliant on faxing. Most legal documents need to be physically signed and delivered. The primary way to do this is still via the fax. A poll of Fortune 500 companies conducted in the US during 2006 discovered that faxing is still the number one method for sending and receiving official international messages that must be signed for.

As with any form of technology, fax capabilities have evolved and the shift towards a paperless office environment is seeing people move away from using traditional fax machines to sending faxes through the internet – Fax2Email. It is not a case of comparing fax with email but rather combining the strengths of two technologies for optimal results. Fax2Email provides the benefits of email without losing the advantages of conventional faxing.
