Technology
used
Contrary to other solutions, we give
you the freedom to choose the level of intrusiveness allowed
on your network. Using a number of plug-ins (for MS Windows,
UNIX and Linux) we provide you with unprecedented visibility
of your printing environment. In the least intrusive solution
we only need a PC connected to your network and a range
of IP addresses to "scan" the remote devices for
print-job activity (nevertheless, no "polling"
required!). We'll be able not only to capture networking
printing activity but also directly connected
printers to your networked PC's.
This allows us to 'see' the activity of those devices usually
accounting for about 40% of your total output - unique compared
to other tools! Your data is securely sent to our web servers
for processing meaning you'll be able to access the information
from anywhere in the world.
It speaks for itself that we are also hardware independent
and can track print activity on any type of device. Using
our plug-ins you can tailor our solution to the specific
requirements of your output environment.
Reporting Engine
Our state of the art web databases
give you an unprecedented view of your printing environment.
The level of transparency regarding the print-job information
is the best you can get. Get access to whom prints what,
where, when, using which type of device; even look at what
application was used to generate the output. Based on this
information we provide you with a load of reports ranging
from device reports, over user and cost reports, allowing
you to 'cut' the information in the way that suits you best.
We will even include customised 'alerts' to allow you to
track changes in printing output needs and/or identify issues
up front.
Secure Web-Server
Our customers get free and unlimited
access to our secure web servers to run reports against
their own data. We'll even offer you the possibility to
compare your data against the data from other customers
to allow you to position yourself against them. This will
allow you to see how good (or bad) a job you're doing in
the output arena.
Transaction based
billing
Conscious of the fact that we need
to offer this service at the lowest possible price, we have
moved away from per-user, per-page, per-server or per-device
licensing fees of other solutions. We don't care how many
users or printers you have. We'll only charge you for the
space you take up in your web database on our servers. Every
print-job is logged as one record; big or small print-jobs,
the price stays the same! At the end of the month you'll
get a complete overview on how many records were logged
in your database and you'll be billed accordingly (advanced
credit purchases are also available at a cheaper rate).
