MyFax Partners with TechSoup Global to Help Non-Profit Organizations
Manage Faxes More Efficiently
Internet fax service allows NPOs to save time and reduce costs while
making their operations greener
OTTAWA (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) December 8, 2008 --
MyFax,
the world’s fastest-growing Internet
fax service, today announced that it has entered into a partnership
with TechSoup Global, a
leading technology non-profit, that provides resources, information and
support to non-profit organizations (NPOs) worldwide. As a result of
this partnership, the Internet fax
service is providing 500 free, one-year “seats” for TechSoup Global to
give away to environmental organizations, libraries and others that meet
the prerequisite conditions. In addition, MyFax will be available to all
government-recognized NPOs, at a discounted rate directly through MyFax (http://www.myfax.com/techsoup/).
“We are very committed to helping non-profit organizations operate more
efficiently,” said Joseph Nour, CEO of Protus,
provider of MyFax. “We’re making that commitment tangible by giving a
free, one-year subscription to qualified NPOs that are committed to
making their offices greener and/or more efficient by using MyFax.”
MyFax Internet fax service allows organizations of all types to send and
receive faxes electronically via their standard e-mail account or a
secure online server anywhere they can get an Internet connection. This
method of delivery simplifies management by virtually eliminating paper
documents. With MyFax, NPOs can preview and read inbound faxes on their
PCs or other devices, as well as forward, store them and print only
select documents. Organizations save time and money, increase efficiency
and improve their ability to document transactions without the risk of
paper being lost or accidentally thrown away.
MyFax also allows NPOs to operate “greener.” In addition to eliminating
the requirement to print every fax, MyFax helps these organizations
reduce energy consumption. The US EPA lists fax machines at the top of
office equipment considered “energy vampires” – equipment that
continually consumes power, whether it is in use or not. With a MyFax
account, inbound faxes are automatically delivered and queued to the
MyFax server. When users access their e-mail or MyFax Central accounts,
the faxes are delivered automatically; eliminating the need to leave a
special machine on 24/7 on the chance a fax might be received.
As further evidence of its desire to help NPOs create greener offices,
MyFax is participating in TechSoup Global’s GreenTech Reduce Paper
Use Challenge. The Challenge is a fun and beneficial contest to
reward organizations for taking steps to reduce the use of paper. For
its part, MyFax is providing a five-year, $10 per month credit to one
organization chosen at random from those TechSoup Global’s GreenTech
Initiative determines to have successfully fulfilled the Reduce Paper
Use Challenge. More details on the contest can be found at www.techsoup.org/greentech/paper.
MyFax also recently participated in a Webinar on reducing paper
consumption conducted by TechSoup Global. In addition to sponsoring the
event, MyFax vice president Steve Adams was part of the panel discussing
ways NPOs can reduce the amount of paper they use. An on-demand replay
of the Webinar can be heard by going to https://cc.readytalk.com/cc/schedule/display.do?udc=3ps65cwp57jn,

“MyFax has always been a supporter of the good works being performed by
non-profit organizations,” Nour said. “We also realize that in these
challenging times they need help more than ever. By partnering with a
great organization like TechSoup we are making it easier for NPOs to
take advantage of the many benefits MyFax has to offer, especially
helping them reduce their overhead and operate more efficiently.
Everyone wins – including the public at large.”
