Without a reliable print management solution, your company’s mission-critical business processes may be exposed to several layers of risk. One failed print job can result in lost invoices, missed shipping windows, wasted time and strained resources. Bottomline’s Print Manager solution is designed to help your company maximize efficiencies in an increasingly document-intensive environment.
With features such as assured delivery, bi-directional printer communications, end-user notification and application notification, Print Manager takes the guesswork out of traditional printing infrastructures. Configure and control remote printing resources, confirm delivery, improve throughput, proactively anticipate and correct problems, reduce downtime, automate printer failover and manage multiple types of output – all from a single, secure interface.
Optimize Valuable IT Resources
Stop wasting valuable time searching for IP addresses, fielding unnecessary calls from users or wondering if the printer is loaded or offline. Print Manager dynamically distributes the workload so that printing systems are never underused or overburdened.
The system automatically designates the most efficient printer for each job, routing high-volume output to the fastest devices and reserving color printers for color jobs. Additionally, Print Manager will automatically spool large jobs to multiple devices, redirect jobs if the primary printer is unavailable and alert end-users to changes. The system automates failover to alternate printers or even alternate resources. If a device fails, Print Manager automatically redirects or reprints the job without accessing your ERP or requiring IT assistance.
Robust Reporting
Having the right report at the right time is crucial to making effective business decisions. With Print Manager and its optional modules, you can aggregate multiple reports, hold them in a virtual print queue and release them according to user schedules and off-peak processing times. Whether your business is structured by regions, cost centers, product lines or services, Print Manager can organize and distribute reports to ensure that the appropriate users get the information they need. Additionally, the system offers detailed management reports to help you administer IT resources, monitor department usage and reduce support costs.
