To accomplish this, they will use EasyLink's web-based portal to set up and modify user accounts on demand.
"EasyLink's Cloud-based fax service is a cost-effective and dynamic solution for companies that need to exchange critical documents globally with law enforcement or other investigatory bodies where time is often of the essence," explained Kevin Maloney, Senior Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing of EasyLink Services. "EasyLink's fax service allows companies to rapidly scale their faxing needs in minutes, as opposed to days or even weeks with an on-premise fax infrastructure."
