The Skinny
Faxing is evolving. Businesses are leaving legacy providers like Biscom behind and moving to cloud‑based fax platforms like
eGoldFax. Why? Lower costs, easier deployment, better security, seamless MFP integration, and remote access.
This blog explores what’s driving the shift, how eGoldFax simplifies operations, and what benefits you can expect when you upgrade.
Why Businesses Are Moving On From Legacy Fax Providers
If your organization has used a traditional or legacy cloud fax solution like Biscom, you’ve probably experienced:
- Ongoing server maintenance or hosted hardware dependencies
- Fax boards, analog phone lines, or costly gateways
- Limited mobile access and dated user interfaces
- Manual reporting and minimal workflow control
- Busy signals and line‑capacity issues during peak hours
Legacy fax solutions served businesses well for years, but their on‑premises approach simply doesn’t match today’s flexible, hybrid workplaces.
The truth is, maintaining old fax infrastructure is expensive, restrictive, and risky in terms of uptime and compliance.
Enter eGoldFax: Modern Cloud Faxing That Works for You
Switching to eGoldFax eliminates the headaches of legacy systems.
Here’s how it transforms your workflow:
1. No Hardware or Phone Lines
There’s no fax server to install and no analog phone lines to manage. Faxing runs entirely in the cloud, so you reduce IT overhead immediately.
2. MFP Integration Across All Major Brands
Whether your office uses
Canon,
HP,
Xerox,
Kyocera,
Sharp, or
Epson,
eGoldFax lets you send and receive faxes right from the device. No brand‑specific fax kits required.
3. Fax From Anywhere
You can send faxes through:
- Email (as simple as sending an attachment)
- A desktop application
- Mobile devices and tablets
This means remote and hybrid employees can fax securely without being tethered to the office.
4. Stronger Security and Compliance
eGoldFax encrypts all transmissions and stored documents,
meeting HIPAA, FERPA, and other compliance standards. It also keeps an encrypted archive for up to 10 years, ensuring audit readiness.

Through the web‑based admin portal, you can:
- Track fax activity in real time
- Route faxes to the right users or departments
- Apply cover pages and document tagging
