Technesis release iBridge version 2 for cost accounting and integration

15 December 2008

Mountain View, CA.Technesis is proud to release Technesis iBridge v2, our data relationship solution that supports print management. Technesis iBridge is a powerful, flexible and configurable software suite that specializes in data integration with ERPs, billing systems, financial systems, API/SDK enabled print devices and print management software.

Technesis iBridge v2 enables more efficient print costing, whether it?s for cost recovery, cost accounting or accurate tracking of copied, faxed and scanned documents.

New features include:

• Enhanced automated scheduling
• Enhanced event logging
• Updated Media mapping
• Updated billing settings

Technesis iBridge integrates with financial systems to import real time billing data so that prints, copies, faxes and scans are properly accounted for. With Technesis iBridge, financial systems no longer need to create manual extracts to support document cost recovery. The financial data can be managed in one location and be extracted as part of a scheduled task.

Technesis iBridge integrates with API/SDK enabled MFPs, both large and small format so that activities from the control panel can be tracked and cost. Direct integration with MFPs is much more cost effective than using an external tracking device. Some devices are able to log all activities, and in those cases, Technesis achieves ?as-printed? tracking where only those pages printed are counted, as opposed to ?as submitted? tracking where tracking stops after the job leaves the computer.

Technesis iBridge integrates with print management software for accurate tracking and costing of print, regardless of the source or location of the print. This integration relates cost accounting to both centralized and decentralized printing. Print management software manages the workflow, print stream conversion and print queue management. Technesis iBridge provides the costing, billing data and reporting for financial purposes.

Technesis iBridge, along with Technesis Print Control System v5.6 offers tremendous value for companies interested in controlling their printing costs. The system has proven to be an asset in identifying, correcting and accounting for company wide printing. Whether you are an end-user, operations manager, financial stakeholder or a provider of services and MFP devices, Technesis software can help you exceed your business objectives.
