There is a lot of "buzz" these days about Fax over IP (FoIP) and every faxing organization that implements Voice over IP (VoIP) should indeed take a close look at IP-based faxing. Both technologies bring traditional telephony applications (voice and fax) into data network environments, allowing organizations to transport phone or fax calls over an IP data network.

This white paper discusses how fax servers and FoIP investments fit into an organization's overall document delivery strategy. It also calls attention to issues and challenges organizations should consider when determining how best to take advantage of traditional telephone-based systems, FoIP, or a mix of both, with their fax server.
