Optus Transactional Fax will seamlessly integrate with your IT environment to enable you to deliver and manage large volumes of business critical messaging via a global secure messaging network.

To manually setup and send faxes via a Web interface rather than integrating with IT systems use the Optus Broadcast Fax service.
