From pre-K to universities, educational institutions require secure document transfers containing confidential information. Education is always evolving, so why tie your campus staff to outdated machines and unnecessary phone lines? Without the ability to remotely access cloud faxing, you’re severely limiting the capabilities of your administrative team.
Whether your school is public or private, a charter or a magnet, pre-K, K-12, university, trade-related, or any other educational institution, there are a lot of files and records faxed to and from your campus. The burden of repairing a network of aging machines and maintaining costly in-house servers falls on the IT team.
Cloud faxing expands your administration’s capabilities.
Upland InterFAX offers resilient, user-friendly cloud-based fax to help educators boost productivity and speed up student-facing services. Colleges, universities, trade schools, preschools, and K-12 districts all rely on cloud faxing to securely manage student processes and private data.
Your students and faculty deserve to have their information safeguarded in a way that is impossible with a traditional fax machine. As soon as you relinquish a document, the receiving machine will pop out confidential information that may or may not be grabbed by the intended recipient in a timely manner. It’s difficult to promise security when the document is completely out of your control.
By making the switch to cloud faxing, your school can not only guarantee compliance but also eliminate the recurring costs of machine maintenance, paper, ink, and unnecessary phone lines.
Your employees already have enough to deal with; between student services, curriculums, state standards, parent meetings, and extracurricular activities, they don’t have time to waste on obsolete technology.
In the United States 90% of K-12 teachers claim burnout it is a serious problem, while 44% report feeling burnout often or always.
