Pcounter Product Review

All businesses, large and small continue to look for ways to make significant reductions in their operational costs and a biting recession can only heighten this. IT departments will no doubt feel the pinch, but it’s surprising how few IT staff realise that effective management of internal printing resources can result in some seriously big savings.

The situation isnt't helped by the limited vendor specific feature sets offered by many print management products, but Altman Technologies comes to the rescue as its Pcounter delivers a complete solution that can help you take back control of all your printers - regardless of the make or model. Pcounter can monitor all printers and provide details on usage, but it offers so much more as it can enforce accounting, print quotas and billing, and it is also capable of applying these controls to photocopiers, multi-function devices and even plotters. It keeps track of all printing activity and stores details on every print job including page counts, the size in pages and bytes, paper sizes, date and times, which printer was used, whether colour was used and so on.
