Although many consider fax outdated, it continues to play a crucial role in sectors where compliance, confidentiality, and legal proof of delivery are non-negotiable. Healthcare providers rely on fax to meet HIPAA requirements, while industries such as finance, law, and real estate depend on it for contracts and documents that require signatures or legally verifiable transmission. Unlike email, fax offers confirmation reports that serve as proof of receipt, along with time-stamped records that hold up in legal proceedings. With Vodia’s PBX, digital fax becomes faster, easier, and more accessible than ever before, enabling users to drag and drop documents, monitor transmission progress, and receive immediate confirmations.
Vodia PBX now supports SAML integration, offering a secure and standards-based method for enterprise users to access their phone system through single sign-on. SAML, or Security Assertion Markup Language, allows employees to authenticate in one system and access other systems without managing multiple passwords, improving both security and user experience. By exchanging digitally signed SAML Assertions between Identity Providers and Service Providers, Vodia ensures seamless authentication across internal and external applications. With this integration, IT teams can simplify user management, reduce login complexity, and maintain strong security controls for business communications.
Digital communication is now woven into daily school life, from classroom platforms to how parents and teachers connect. Vodia Smart School takes this further with a VoIP-powered system that provides fast, secure, and documented communication for consent forms, sick notes, and routine notifications. In urgent situations, it enables automated alerts to staff, parents, and first responders, ensuring rapid responses when time is critical. Fully GDPR-compliant and offering features such as caller ID masking, MS Teams integration, and control of bells, announcements, and school systems, Smart School gives schools a modern, reliable alternative to legacy systems while improving both safety and everyday operations.
