The Long Short Story

How often do you hear the word 'brand' being used and what exactly is a 'brand'?

I like this definition...

'A brand is a person's gut feeling about a product, service, or organisation. The brand isn't what you say it is. It's what they say it is'.
- Marty Neumeier, The Brand Gap

SIP Trunking Fax Facts

Axient observes a trend in Australia whereby SIP Trunking is being deployed for Fax. Dialogic recently undertook comparative testing of T.38 and G.711 transport methods over SIP with significant and telling results.

An 'oh yeah we can do fax, that's easy' approach is something that I.T. management needs to be wary of and understand the fine print in order to ensure Quality of Service (QoS).

Missed Opportunity

The Axient Team travels frequently and has a corporate membership with a global, publicly listed company that operates 16 brand names, 4,100 hotels and nearly 500,000 rooms in 90 countries.

I recently visited Melbourne and Auckland and was underwhelmed by our hotel partner before my travel even started. I feel for the CMO, Sales Director and COO for this hotel group because I think there is more than one customer feeling this way.

Do We Still Use Fax!

The answer to this question is a resounding YES.

Do we need to ask why?

For some of us understanding this history will be important.

My contributing view is that some key drivers for Australia are:

  • The percentage of small businesses
  • Our dispersed geography
  • Early adoption of technology

For many organisations fax technology is as vital a part of business-to-business communications as the telephone and electricity are part of our everyday lives. With its ease of use, immediacy of delivery and universal accessibility, fax has earned a worldwide acceptance. Fax is no longer considered a convenience, but a communication channel integral to doing business.

The management and provision of fax technology is clearly an IT responsibility. Axient has written a short overview of how a best practice electronic fax strategy provides superior return on investment when inbound and outbound document processes are optimised.

Not you again!

For C Level Executives in marketing, operations and finance, Document Output Management (DOM) is a significant subject where technology can drive key performance indicators of revenue, customer loyalty, brand alignment and cost management.

Does this scenario sound familiar to you?

You've been a customer of this organisation for many years; they know your spending patterns. You complete the annual customer survey; they know you as an individual. Every month the organisation sends you a bill by post. Almost always, the envelope contains additional inserts, none of which relate to you. The only other time you communicate with this organisation is when you have a technical problem because the kids gained access to the router and played network manager.

12 months x 7 years is the opportunity of 84 customer communications - 84 times to help me spend more, 84 times to bill electronically, 84 times to increase my brand loyalty.

For the CIO and IT Management, DOM is critical  because documents are as vital a part of business-to-business communications as telephones, data centres and electricity.

The business is relying on IT to ensure that documents get to the right people, at the right time, in the right way, at the right price.

Axient has written a short overview of how a best practice document output management strategy reduces processing costs, creates business efficiencies and transforms customer communications to realise revenue opportunities.

The Future of Fax is?

Fax has a long and rich history that commenced with Alexander Bain, Scottish inventor in 1846.

1. The first was Wire transmission

3. Third Telephone transmission
