FoIP has the potential to deliver wide ranging benefits to organisations of all sizes and in any sector of the market. If you already have an existing VoIP infrastructure then it may be possible to utilize your PSTN gateways and routers for Fax over IP. In this way we could build an enterprise fax solution leveraging your existing infrastructure to provide the benefits listed below. If you don’t have an existing VoIP infrastructure you can still benefit from:

	Lower network management and maintenance costs by running voice, fax and data over a single converged network.
	Lower fax costs through reduced long distance charges and the elimination of analogue line charges. In an enterprise configuration comprising multiple gateways to the PSTN, least cost routing can provide considerable savings on long distance and international call charges.
	Providing a consistent fax service throughout the enterprise including very geographically remote locations. By integrating with existing or planned VoIP solutions, an enterprise Fax over IP infrastructure may supply all of your locations with the same class of service, no matter how geographically remote. By deploying remote software-only interfaces there is no requirement for maintenance of hardware in countries with little or no local support.
	Improved management and oversight. By deploying any type of enterprise fax server there will be a marked improvement in both management and oversight. Regulatory compliance such as Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA and the Data Protection Act are all covered by Lane’s Passport 4000 fax Server.
	Better integration of voice and data network. If you have an existing VoIP enterprise then your FoIP may further utilize your existing network and gateways.
	No more fax cards. A software-only solution reduces the possibility of failures and negates the necessity of local maintenance. With the software only solution, the fax server environment may be supported on virtual servers, reducing the need for hardware and space and reducing power consumption.
