The Advantages of Print Management Software

Equally as important as the make and model of your printer is the Print Management Software you use to regulate your usage. Print management is about saving your company time and money when it comes to your printing, by introducing services that improve efficiency and help you to monitor your procedures. Keeping costs to a minimum and reducing your environmental impact should be paramount to any business who regularly prints, copies or scans.

At EBM we endorse a number of industry leading Print Management Software options, advising our clients on how each product can be adapted to meet the requirements of specific companies, industries or machines.

PaperCut
PaperCut was designed to cut printing costs for a variety of different sectors, with different software for Education, SME and Corporate businesses and Professional Client Billing requirements.

PaperCut focuses on the environmental impact that excessive printing can have. To combat this it has developed an accessible, easy to use interface that is developed and upgraded by experts from within the industry that each platform is developed for.

For Education there is the ability to control print quotas for students, staff and even faculties. The system is low maintenance and the ability to create individual user accounts helps ensure accountability. For the SME and Corporate platform you can also monitor both individuals and departments. Responsibility is crucial, with PaperCut developing reports that highlight who is environmentally astute. Professional Client Billing is aimed at Accounting, Engineering and Design companies, with detailed account and invoice reporting that allows you to recover the cost of printing directly from clients.
