Hosted Fax

 By: Yesenia Villagran, Project Manager


Hosted Fax is a solution that we have been rolling out to many of our customers as it’s incredibly easy to send and receive faxes either using a web-based portal, or through your email, and is much more cost-effective than traditional POTS lines. This solution can work for you regardless of whether you’re using a hosted, on-premise, or even a competitor’s voice product. Existing phone numbers can be ported into our Hosted Fax solution, and new numbers can be requested as well.
Below are the instructions on how to use the Hosted Fax solution via the portal or Outlook:

User Login:
Using your Browser type in the URL address below.


Your username and password will be sent to you in an e-mail. The e-mail will look like this below.
Hello,

Please find your fax account login credentials below:

Username: NEW USER
Password: ^wxTir8rg2z(s
You will need to provide these credentials to login with any fax client you are using.
Log into the web portal here: http://myhostedfax.com
Note: for security reasons, you may be required to change this password. Simply login using the Web Client and follow the instructions (if applicable).

You will be asked to change your password the first time you login.


This is the screen you will see once you have successfully logged in for the first time.


 To compose a fax, click on the Compose Fax button as shown above.


 Fill in the Recipient information especially the FAX number to where the fax is going to.


You can add a subject for the fax.


Add any comments that would like about the fax or document(s) you are sending.
All this information will be transformed on to the Fax Cover sheet.


To add attachments, click on the Browse button and it will take you to your desktop File Explorer. You can choose from here which documents and attachments you would like to add.


Once you have completed filling in the information and adding attachments you can click on the Submit Button at the top to send your fax.

Once you have submitted your fax you will get this screen that will tell you if the fax has successfully been submitted and delivered. If the Recipient is not in your contacts it will ask you if you would like to add them.


You can check all of your previous sent faxes by going to the Outbound History button. You can also see all of your Inbound faxes in the Inbound button.


To send a fax through Outlook do the following:
Sending outbound Hosted Fax is incredibly easy; simply open your email client and in the “to” field of the email client enter the telephone number you are faxing to, and add @myhostedfax.com. Example, if you wanted to send a Hosted Fax to 847-777-7777  you’d send “to” 8477777777@myhostedfax.com, add the file(s) you wish to fax me and hit send. You don’t even need a subject line as it’s a fax you are sending.
Inbound faxing will go to directly to your inbox.
If you have any questions about Hosted Fax, please contact your CCC Technologies Representative or call our 100% U.S based Care Center at 847.427.2365 any time day or night.

3 Things to Consider Before Jumping Into BYOD

3 Things to Consider Before Jumping Into BYOD You’ve read it time and time again. “Bring Your Own Device” isn’t a trend, it’s the future. Workplaces where companies let workers use their own devices for work purposes are the new normal. BYOD attracts new hires and lifts employee morale and productivity. But this doesn’t mean a small business owner should recklessly jump right into BYOD just because everyone else is doing it.  Data and network security concerns have to be thought out, defined, and addressed in a comprehensive BYOD policy. Here are three things to consider. Cost of Support Most businesses salivate at the thought of the money saved by having employees participate in a BYOD program. With employees using their own devices for work, there is no need to shell out thousands of dollars for desktop PCs, smartphones, tablets, and laptops. While that’s undoubtedly a huge incentive, extra support costs must also be factored in. Chances are your employ...

4 Essential Pieces to Any Small Business BYOD Strategy

4 Essential Pieces of Any Small Business BYOD Strategy Believe it or not, once upon a time, kids at the bus stop didn’t have cell phones and the mobile device strategy of many businesses was typically "you’ll take what you’re given, refrain from using it for any personal use, and the data may be scrubbed clean whenever we please." We’ve come a long way.  Today, businesses really have no choice but to let employees use personal devices for work purposes.  Blurred lines now make it difficult to differentiate between what is professional and what is personal.  A company or organization may partially pay for an employee’s tablet computer or smartphone, but that same device is used to upload photos to Facebook or download torrents of this season of Game of Thrones. Naturally, security and privacy issues are a concern since these devices sync to the company network.  Larger corporations may be able to hire IT support or produce sophis...
