eFax Brings Order to the Business of Law

Legal professionals are beginning to migrate traditional office hardware such as computers and fax machines to laptops, tablets and cloud-fax services, enabling them to maintain an increasingly mobile lifestyle while staying in touch with their business.

According to the 2012 survey from the American Bar Association's Legal Technology Resource Center, 38 percent of lawyers have already migrated to laptops as primary computers.

In a recent eFax Solutions podcast, New York attorney Scott Brenner, of Brenner Law Offices, explained that “the realities of the competitive business and legal environments require a new brand of lawyer ... one that understands the power of working remotely, from a more virtual platform. Being mobile and always accessible to clients, to me, is of paramount importance to a successful practice.”

According to the 2012 National Study of Employers, 77 percent of companies surveyed allow or encourage flextime and nearly 66 percent let employees sometimes work from home.

As working remotely grows in popularity among working professionals, it’s vital that professionals, including attorneys, are able to access critical documents remotely. Brenner believes that a major pain point for lawyers working remotely is a result of inefficiencies and not having access to files or data electronically stored.

”While many people there is knowledge how to fax from your iphone to a smartphone or computer, there are circumstances where people may not have access to these things, in turn causing them to rely heavily on fax," said Brenner. In those situations, having the ability to fax a document to that person, at any location… becomes a very powerful tool."

So how can eFax help other law professionals on the go? Here are a few ways:

- Freedom and flexibility

- Easing the burden of e-discovery

- Eliminating document disorder

- Confidential and secure faxing

- Signed, sealed and sent faxes

The Olympics & Small Business – What do they have in common?

As the Olympic Opening Ceremony is held tonight, it mirrors the Olympics of small businesses. The Olympics are a worldwide competition held for 35 different sports including golf, kayaking, weightlifting and even trampoline. Olympians train for years to compete in this competition, hoping to be the best in the world. They’re coached by the top-notch professionals, often sponsored by companies in their industry, and manage schedules of competitions, training and other daily life activities.

So how can a small business be compared to the Olympics?

Small businesses throughout the world are in a competition of their own, the ultimate goal to be the best in the world. Each business competes with others in their industry. Business executives and owners have been mentored by professionals in their field and have invested time into building relationships within their industry, whether it be with vendors, suppliers, or even customers. They work hard and manage their time to make sure they accomplish their most important tasks each and every day.

So as you spend the next few weeks watching the Olympics, spend some time to reflect on your business’ position in the global Business Olympics.
