Customers enjoy simpler, but more powerful user management features when using Technesis Print Control System v5.6.4 for:

Print assessments - Setup and managed from one location, and deployed globally. Technesis software passively records printing from network print queues, remote network printers, along with LPT1, COM and USB printers. The resulting statistics are grouped by Windows Active Directory groups such as OU, office, location, or department, and automatically distributed via Technesis? reporting engine. Technesis reports tell decision makers the number of print jobs, color pages, monochrome pages printed to each device, by each user, for each workgroup. These print assessments are critical for any equipment reallocation or print rightsizing initiatives.

Rules based printing - Create messages to end users based on their Windows Active Directory group membership, advising them of more cost effective print options for their print jobs. The messages pop up on the user?s workstations and are tailored to that individual based on the print job characteristics, such as color, number of pages, printer type or printer name.

Cost Accounting - Assign custom billing popup and charge codes based on Windows Directory group membership. The results for end users are faster and more accurate billing for their reimbursable documents.
