Make Your Disaster Plan Pay
Your corporate disaster plan is more useful than you think. It includes many potential benefits aside from protecting you and your coworkers in the event of a fire, flood, or earthquake. Don’t ignore these benefits: enhanced safety and security, identification of future leaders, improving your brand with your clients, and even improved morale. They can justify your disaster plan even if you never need to activate it.

The Future of Fax without the PSTN
Fax is one big reason why some users don’t want the PSTN to be shut down. This 1980’s era technology survives against the odds.

Should we find better ways of transmitting printed material or must we keep fax on life support?
