Influence of COVID-19 Outbreak on Cloud Fax Industry Development
The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has underscored the importance of cloud faxing. In the early days of the crisis, cloud faxing supported a massive shift to online services for enterprises, governments, and healthcare organizations.
In the first half of the 2020s, many enterprises implemented hybrid IT infrastructures to improve their ability to work remotely. Even though many countries have relaxed restrictions put in place to curb the spread of the coronavirus, there is still uncertainty as to when life may return to relative normalcy. However, cloud faxing has the ability to help them stay productive and connected from home.
Digital services are quickly becoming the most important tool for continuing operations during a mass lockdown. A complicating factor in forecasting future demand is the lack of a clear event horizon for the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to design the IT infrastructure for a world where COVID-19 is likely to rebound, and the need to consider continuity plans for future pandemics. The popularity of cloud faxing is closely tied to its demand, and COVID-19 may drive structural IT change in organizations that have delayed modernization.
Limitations
Cloud fax operators store sensitive proprietary data on their networks, including source code, other intellectual property and other proprietary business information. Maintaining the security of this information is critical to the operations and business strategies of cloud fax companies. Increasingly, companies are subject to a wide variety of attacks on their networks. cloud fax enterprises' information technology and infrastructure can be infiltrated or attacked by computer programmers and hackers, or compromised due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. The market perception of a cloud fax business can be negatively impacted by a breach of cybersecurity. In addition, the economic costs of eliminating or mitigating network or other security problems, vulnerabilities, viruses, worms, malware systems and security breaches can be substantial and may be difficult to predict or measure.
If cloud fax providers are unable to enhance existing products, or to develop or acquire new products that respond to rapidly changing customer requirements, technological developments or evolving industry standards, the existing products may be rendered obsolete and the long-term revenue growth will be harmed. The markets for cloud fax are characterized by rapid technological advances, changes in customer requirements, changes in protocols and evolving industry standards. The long-term growth depends on companies' ability to enhance and improve the existing products and to introduce or acquire new products that respond to these demands promptly. If cloud fax providers are unable to add products and develop enhancements to the existing products that are satisfactory to customers, if customers purchase or develop competing products and technologies or if technical developments render the products or certain features of the products obsolete, demand for cloud fax solutions of the company will decrease, and operating results will be harmed.
