Sfax

With its ease of use, immediacy of delivery, and universal accessibility, faxing is here to stay. Designed for the rigors of healthcare, Sfax is the best alternative to traditional faxing. Customers can send, receive, annotate, digitally sign, and manage faxes without printing a
single physical document. All their documents are stored on encrypted cloud-based servers. Nothing is ever stored on a local hard drive or server, where they run the risk of compromising data security.

Sfax provides healthcare providers with a host of tools to help limit tedious and time-consuming manual processes and paper, to improve their document workflow. They can control access, track usage, and protect documents and data and get going from $9/month or $89/year.
