control and audit your printing costs
MegaTrack gathers, evaluates and presents the information you need to control
printing costs.
Whether you are managing an installed printer base, or planning a printer implementation,
knowing your printing costs is the essential first step to maximizing the return on your printer
investment and minimizing the total cost of printer ownership. However the flexibility of
distribution and usage that contributes to an effective workflow makes it difficult to track who
is printing what, not to mention where, when and why. And, even if you manage to gather
the information you still have the trouble of consolidating the figures to get a meaningful picture
that you can use for further decisions.
MegaTrack monitors printers connected to local and remote print servers to provide
you with comprehensive real-time and statistical information on usage and costs - broken
down according to the department, cost-center, group or even employee or printer - to help
you optimize printer deployment, workload and the purchase of printer consumables.
how MegaTrack works
The MegaTrack print-server (MPS) monitors the printers attached to as many local
and remote Windows NT/2000 and XP print-servers as necessary. It scans the print jobs
and queries the printer to compile detailed information on printer usage. By analyzing this
information MPS calculates a cost per page based on a detailed printer profile that includes
toner and media cost, depreciation and a host of other factors. The result is accurate
information for each print job (color, duplex mode, economode ...).
The central MegaTrack database-server (MDS) consolidates the information collected
at the individual print-servers. Then MegaTrack web-server software (MWS) prepares
detailed, customised reports, combining graphics and text that show you the composition of
your printing costs. These statistics and reports can be accessed and administered from any-
where in your organisation, using a web-browser. They can also be exported into MS Excel
with only one click, or automatically sent by e-mail.
