FoIP/VoIP: For a Greener Environment

It's true. A piece of software can reduce the environmental impact of an enterprise organization – in addition to increasing efficiency and saving money.

Sagem-Interstar's fax solutions help companies "go green" by moving them from paper to digital workflows. This significantly reduces overall paper use and generates positive environmental benefits, as listed at right.

Reducing paper demand helps preserve wild habitat, water and air quality. It also reduces the emission of persistent organic pollutants such as dioxins.

In the workplace, it means less noise and heat from machines, less exposure to paper dust and fine particles of potentially toxic toner. Less paper waste means less landfill, too.

Reducing your organization's impact on the environment through fax means a positive impact on your bottom line.

In an enterprise organization,* reducing faxing and fax-related printing translates into savings of $2 million or more per year.

And by eliminating obsolete, single-function fax machines, a large organization can also save hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on electricity, leasing costs and maintenance contracts.
