PRINT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS

Research has shown that implementing software tools to manage printing can reduce paper usage by up to 20%.

Device Management Software

Applications that facilitate proactive monitoring of devices within the print fleet (i.e. toner low alerts, maintenance required, page counts, etc.)

Print Management Software

Applications that facilitate the management of users by means of rules-based printing, such as default mono / double-sided printing. This will also facilitate a follow-me solution, where a user can authenticate at any device on any site.

Obtaining Page Counts and Monitoring Device Volumes:
  • Phone calls from vendors to take readings from machines and send through to them for billing to take place.
  • Estimate billing if no page counts are provided / obtained.
  • No visibility on volumes of the below items:
    • Functions such as copy volumes, scanning volumes, fax volumes
    • Paper types – information on A4 / A5 / A3 volumes printed
    • Total pages printed vs life of the device.
No Proactive Device Status Monitoring for Supply Before Consumables Run Out:
  • No software deployed to pre-empt when toner will run out to order stock before device goes down.
  • No software to identify any parts or consumables that will need replacement before they fail.
  • Downtime within the business is high, due to no proactive asset monitoring.
No Visibility for User Management and Cost Recovery Purposes:
  • Multiple departments use the same print device, which makes departmental cost allocations difficult.
  • No data to identify and address user abuse.
  • Software not used optimally to ensure print jobs are forced to mono / duplex.
  • No control and management of quotas / print jobs re-routed, etc.
