In today’s competitive business environment, it is more important than ever that your organisation manages document output on your office equipment devices. When left unmanaged, operational costs can significantly increase due to the proliferation of networked devices and spiralling output costs.
The main new feature of Equitrac 5 is the feature allowing users to use either the normal server print queues, or to use the new I-Queue. Based on a client-side application, I-Queue processes print jobs on the workstation. A mixture of server and workstation print processing is possible. Equitrac Office is fully supported on all hardware platforms compatible with Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2 and 2012. The use of Office under virtualization environments such as Virtual Server or VMWare is generally supported and is fully expected to work correctly, as long as such.
In cooperation with leading software provider Equitrac, Ricoh offers Kofax Equitrac Office™. Designed to monitor, measure and manage network wide document output, this easy to use modular solution tracks copy and print activities in a detailed manner.
