Mobility, stability, scalability, and reliability are just some of the main benefits of moving your company's infrastructure to the cloud. No matter you are one of the enterprises who has already decided to move to the cloud, or you are still struggling between doing everything in-house or going cloud, there are several challenges and hidden costs that you should be aware of.

Many companies don't have a solid strategy for migrating to the cloud and therefore they don't exactly know what to move, what infrastructures to keep physical, and what challenges they are about to face. In this article, we are not going to discuss whether moving to the cloud is a good strategy for your company or not. We just want to remind you of one of the most important parts of the migration that is mostly taken for granted: Moving your telecommunication infrastructure, especially the faxing.

Fax is widely used in different organizations and industries including legal companies, healthcare organizations, and financial companies, and while your enterprise may not use a fax machine on a regular basis you need to be prepared for sending and receiving fax occasionally. That's where the cloud fax comes handy and covers the enterprises which their business relies on faxing and those that need to send and receive fax from time to time.
