Cloud Platforms Replace Traditional Paper and Print Landscapes

Retarus again named a Sample Vendor for
Enterprise Level Cloud Faxing in Gartner Hype Cycle for Imaging and Print
Services, 2017

Singapore, September 12, 2017 – In the course of
digitalization and dematerialization, many companies are opting for cloud
services to process business-critical information, such as orders or invoices.
An increasing number of businesses are giving up their traditional peripheral
devices, like printers and fax machines, and replacing them with innovative
services. According to Gartner’s August 2017 Hype Cycle for Imaging and Print Services, 2017 report, “Cloud
fax providers now support many of the enterprise class service levels that
enterprises expect, from regulatory certifications, to rigid service levels, to
professional services to assist with both out-of-the-box and custom API
integrations.”

The digital transmission of critical data in
particular entails significant challenges. In addition to meeting exacting
requirements with regard to security and quality, it is also always necessary
to take heed of legal guidelines that are growing ever more stringent, for
instance the new
European data protection regulation GDPR.

Connecting with the cloud services provided by
information logistics experts Retarus enables
companies to fully digitalize complex business processes with little effort,
reduce costs and fulfill compliance requirements more easily. The processing of
data is always carried out in accordance with the most stringent data
protection guidelines at Retarus’ own data centers in Europe, the USA and Asia.
From these facilities, the company ensures global availability around the clock
and fulfills numerous sector and country specific requirements, including HIPAA
or PCI-DSS Accordingly, enterprises such as Malaysia’s leading healthcare
provider BP
Healthcare and other healthcare companies in the US and
Europe are employing Retarus’ Cloud Services to send digitized fax documents
containing sensitive information straight from desktops or directly out of
laboratory and pharmacy systems.
