According to the survey, 82 percent of the participating companies are still sending faxes \u2013 and 33 percent even characterize their fax usage as frequent or very frequent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of intensive fax users has, however, been declining over the years. In 2022, they still accounted for 40 percent of all respondents, while in 2018 the proportion of companies defining their fax transmission as frequent or very frequent was 62 percent. However, that is far from suggesting that fax is reaching the end of the line \u2013 only 16 percent of companies completely refrain from faxing (2022: 11 percent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What companies appreciate especially about conventional faxing is the clear evidence that the fax has been delivered, says Nils Britze, the head of Bitkom\u2019s Digital Processes division. \u201cAs far as the encryption of data and thus its security is concerned, digital channels nevertheless have the edge over conventional fax in several respects,\u201d Britze points out. \u201cDigital fax applications take advantage of these benefits and use servers for data transmission, rather than telephone lines.\u201d As a result, digital fax transmission is significantly more secure than its analog predecessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitkom.org\/Presse\/Presseinformation\/Digital-Office-Faxen-Unternehmen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">For the survey<\/a>, Bitkom Research conducted a representative poll of 505 companies in Germany with over 20 employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, digital fax is not only more secure, but also works without requiring fax devices at all and is, moreover, much easier to integrate into your systems \u2013 allowing you to digitalize your business processes and automate workflows.
