Print Manager Plus Release Station 2008 Provides Printing Confidentiality in the Health Care Industry at Low Cost

New release from Software Shelf protects confidential patient records, aiding compliance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and European Data Protection Rules

Print Manager Plus® Release Station 2008 is a new web-based tool that provides the physical security of Protected Health Information (PHI) within the Health Care Industry at a fraction of the cost of similar systems


Diana Shields, Corporate Manager, SSI

San Francisco and London: Software Shelf International today announced the launch of Print Manager Plus Release Station 2008 which helps protect the physical privacy and confidentiality of printed documents within the health care industry. The software aids compliance with Health Insurance Portability, the Accountability Act (HIPAA), European Data Protection Rules and other Data Protection legislation designed to protect individuals’ rights to privacy and confidentiality. The product is an add-on to Software Shelf’s market-leading print management tool, Print Manager Plus.

The software is intended for use by hospitals, clinics, health care providers, health care plans, Medicare and Medicaid programs, health care clearing houses, billing services, community health information systems and IT shops supporting these organizations who must satisfy the privacy and security rules issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and similar agencies worldwide dedicated to patient privacy and confidentiality of printed information.

Penalties for violation of patient privacy can be severe.

Release Station 2008 makes it easy for users and handlers of confidential information to print out whatever they need without the risk of it being seen by anyone unauthorized to do so, even when printed from a workstation distant from the printers themselves. Release Station 2008’s key security feature requires that the release of the job can only take place when the user (or his authorized agent) - physically present at the printer – has entered his Active Directory or other user name and secure password. Only then will the confidential document print itself out. Consequently, this feature also prevents stacks of wasted paper sitting at the printer at the end of the day.

Once the product is installed, it operates as a native extension to Windows. Its ease of use has made it the most functional and cost-effective print management, print control and print security software on the market today in terms of technical stability, quality and cost.

"The usual way of working is that documents are created through a third party application or by dictation: users can create hundreds of such documents a day. When these need to be printed, HIPAA regulations necessitate that the user disrupt his or her workflow to retrieve each document, one by one. The reality is that many print-outs sit in the output tray of a printer (in an insecure state) for hours before they are actually retrieved. As well as a security risk, this way of working can also cause substantial loss of productivity. Release Station 2008 is the solution to both of these problems,” says Diana Shields, Corporate Manager, SSI.

The product meets the needs of any sized provider organization and it not only addresses HIPAA requirements and similar Data Protection rule provisions, but it also maximizes allowable cost recovery, controlling access to color output and preventing wastage of materials, costs and staff time.

Print Manager Plus features include a complete print audit and print accounting trail for every print job with hundreds of reports available on print usage by user, group, department and costs, as well as the ability to set numerous kinds of print restrictions for nearly every print control scenario imaginable.

A 30-day evaluation version of Print Manager Plus Release Station 2008 which works with existing installations of Print Manager Plus is available here: http://www.softwareshelf.com/files/products.asp?type=cat&ID=146

For those not yet using Print Manager Plus, a fully functional trial version is available here: http://www.softwareshelf.com

Print Manager Plus Release Station 2008, which is a native extension of the Windows operating system with seamless Active Directory integration, supports all brands and sizes of printers and plotters and printing from any operating systems where printing is through a Windows Print Server. Print Manager Plus is verified and logo-certified by Microsoft and has been featured by Microsoft as the Public Sector “Solution of the Month” for 18 months in a row.

Software Shelf was established in 1994 in Silicon Valley by William Feeley. Its flagship product, Print Manager Plus, is used by thousands of organizations worldwide, including: University Hospital Birmingham, UK, Yale University, Oxford University, Capital Blue Cross, Shriners Hospitals, Public Health Laboratory of Quebec, Ministry of Health Ontario, and Mid Atlantic Medical Services.

The company provides free tech support (in 13 languages) from its offices in the US and UK and from its more than 150 partners and resellers in over 60 countries. Software Shelf was awarded the Hewlett-Packard Outstanding Partner of the Year Award in 2007. Software Shelf and Print Manager Plus are trademarks owned by Software Shelf worldwide.

Software Shelf Launches New Pay-Per-Print Solution



Print Manager Plus® Release Station 2008 Web-Based Tool with PayPal and Credit Card Integration is the latest release from Software Shelf


Software Shelf Product Manager, Mr. Danny Byrnes

San Francisco and London:
Software Shelf International, Inc. today announced the launch of Print Manager Plus Release Station 2008, an add-on to their market-leading print management tool, Print Manager Plus.

Release Station 2008 comes with credit card and PayPal integration which means that users can now easily pay for each individual job they print, or top up their own print accounts, using PayPal or their credit card. This is a 100% web-based print management (as well as print accounting and print control) system which has been molded to fit any library or computer lab environment for ease of use and complete affordability. Users can monitor, hold and complete payment in one easy click. One uses the web-based Release Station interface to allow a patron’s job to be printed, and no extra hardware or cash machines are needed.

Once the product is installed, it operates as a native extension to Windows. Its ease of use has made it the #1 Print Management software on the market today in terms of technical stability, quality and cost.

This new tool is ideal for organisations that provide central networked printing (through a printer server or workgroup), such as schools, libraries, internet cafés or anywhere that offers a printing service. Lack of control and accountability in this area can become a major drain on finances. Implementation of Print Manager Plus Release Station 2008 can save an organisation substantial amounts in paper and ink as well as in administrative manpower.

Software Shelf Product Manager, Mr. Danny Byrnes states, “The Release station add-on has been very popular with those existing Print Manager Plus users, for whom Release Station 2008 was installed on a pre-release basis over the past 6 months. The schools and libraries, worldwide, that participated all reported a significant reduction in costs as a result.”

An added benefit of the system derives from the fact that management of the users’ printing accounts is done by the users themselves, thereby reducing administrative and accounting demands on library or school staff.

Other benefits of Print Manager Plus Release Station 2008 include:

Secure printing: Increased security for the user since the print job only starts to print once it is paid for – via a workstation located by the printer. This also prevents the stack of wasted paper sitting at the printer at the end of the day that no one ever came to collect.

Approved/Managed printing: When a user sends a print job to the printer, a pop-up message appears on their screen asking them to see the teacher or person at the front desk (as in a library) who will release their job upon receipt of payment, if required.

Account Balance Management: With the new credit card & PayPal integration, management of the users’ printing accounts can now be done by the user and so reduce administrative costs. Users can pay for individual jobs themselves or add credit to their account balance if they run out while using the Release Station option.

A 30-day evaluation version of Print Manager Plus Release Station 2008 which works with existing installations of Print Manager Plus is available here: http://www.softwareshelf.com/files/products.asp?type=cat&ID=146

For those not yet using Print Manager Plus, a fully functional trial version is available here: http://www.softwareshelf.com

Print Manager Plus Release Station 2008, which is a native extension of the Windows operating system with seamless Active Directory integration, supports all brands of printer and prints from all operating systems, where printing through a Windows Print Server. Print Manager Plus is verified and logo-certified by Microsoft and has been featured by Microsoft as the Public Sector “Solution of the Month” for 18 months in a row.

Software Shelf was established in 1994 in Silicon Valley by William Feeley. Its
flagship product, Print Manager Plus, is used by thousands of companies, schools, libraries and government offices worldwide, including: Yale University, Harvard University, Oxford University, Morgan Stanley, British Library and Microsoft. The company provides free tech support (in 13 languages) from its offices in the US and UK and from its more than 150 partners and resellers in over 60 countries.

Britain's Got Talent in our local papers

Harry & I have been featured in East Grinstead's 2 local papers - East Grinstead Courier & East Grinstead Observer. Fame at last!

In case you missed our audition piece, here it is again:


And here are the contestants - the 'Drumming Duos':


We're just waiting for that phone call.

Revolutionary Waterless Carwash System on TV!


SJ Khebbal, CEO of Miracle Drywash
& John Rickard, General Manager of Fernley
at Gatwick Airport

Miracle Drywash and Fernley appear together on BBC TV!

In October, it was announced by press release that Miracle Drywash - the revolutionary way to wash and polish vehicles - was being used by Fernley Gatwick Ltd to clean cars airside initially at Gatwick airport, then at the airports of Heathrow, Stansted, Luton, Manchester, Dublin, Cork, Liverpool and Nice in France, Brussels in Belgium and Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

BBC South East Today considered this big news both as a business story (local firm wins big international order) and a good news environmental story as millions of tons of water will now be saved, and thousands of litres of detergents will no longer be entering the river system via storm drains.

Airside at Gatwick, the BBC filmed interviews with John Rickard, General Manager of Fernley and with SJ Khebbal, CEO of Miracle Drywash. They also showed the product being used by a Fernley employee. It was a really good report which was included in several news bulletins throughout the day as well as being available on the BBC website. Here it is in full:


And here are a few behind-the-scenes photos:










You can buy the product online here: http://www.miracledrywash.com/purchase.php and it is also now available from Marks & Spencer.

Miracle Drywash – used by X2P, producers of the TV motoring show “Pulling Power”



A few months ago, Miracle Drywash had a stand at the Summer Magic Night at the Proms at Borde Hill Garden. See:

http://uptone.blogspot.com/2007/08/miracle-drywash-sponsors-spitfire.html

The event was being filmed by X2 Productions who happen to also produce the TV motoring show called ‘Pulling Power’. The cameraman saw a demonstration of the product and was impressed with what it could do and how clean AND polished it made the car. So he took a sample of the product to try it out.

The verdict: the product is ideal for a film crew on location because they often need to clean their cars but have no access to a hosepipe. And when they do find water, the process of washing their cars with it is a messy business and they can’t do it in direct sunlight either.

They loved Miracle Drywash and hope to do a report on it in a future programme!

10 Years of Godsmack Arrives December 4th

UNIVERSAL REPUBLIC ROCK ICONS GODSMACK
TO RELEASE GREATEST HITS CD ON DECEMBER 4



Good Times Bad Times....Ten Years of Godsmack

Band Includes 16 Seminal Godsmack Songs
Delivering The Year's Most Riveting Rock Retrospective

Universal Republic band Godsmack will release their widely anticipated Greatest Hits album, Good Times Bad Times....Ten Years of Godsmack on December 4. The 16-track collection is loaded with career defining milestones and seminal Godsmack classics. Among the groundbreaking songs included are the band's clarion call "Whatever," their breakthrough #1 rock mainstream smash "Awake," "I Stand Alone" (2002's most played rock radio song of the year), "Speak," (the #1 rock cut from their 2006 album Godsmack IV), and a rare, bristling Godsmack cover of Led Zeppelin's classic 1969 debut single "Good Times, Bad Times."

Considered one of the definitive alternative hard rock bands of the modern era, the Boston based group stormed on to the music scene in 1998 with their masterful self-titled debut album, and have never looked back. The only rock band to have scored 13 Top 10 hits in the Active Rock format, their most recent album, Godsmack IV, became another platinum-plus trailblazer for the formidable foursome, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top albums chart (their 2nd #1 debut following 2003's Faceless) and harking back to the thunderous arc of multiplatinum masterpieces like their 5 million selling breakthrough debut album and 2000's Awake, as well as the more subtle flexing heard on their 2004 acoustic EP The Otherside.

Fronted by charismatic and uncompromising singer/songwriter Sully Erna, 2008 will mark the tenth anniversary of Godsmack's self-titled debut album; in honor of that occasion, Good Times Bad Times....Ten Years of Godsmack encapsulates some of their most captivating and enduring hits. In the past decade, the unflinching Godsmack has enjoyed an incredible run, selling more than 12 million albums - highlighted by scores of sold-out international concerts, stages shared with legends, a remarkable 16 hit singles, 4 platinum records, 1 gold EP and three Grammy nominations.

Known for their fierce touring regimen, Godsmack also established one of the most memorable live arsenals in rock, having been regulars at past Ozzfests, appeared at Woodstock '99, toured with Metallica, and headlined their own arena juggernauts throughout the world.

Godmack's releases include Godsmack (1998), Awake (2000), Faceless (2003), The Scorpion King soundtrack (2002), Otherside EP (2004), and Godsmack IV (2006).

Britain's Got Talent - The Drumming Duos



My 11-year old son, Harry, and I entered Britain's Got Talent 2008 as a father & son drumming act. When we were finally let in the building after standing in the very long queue in the cold for 2 hours, everybody seemed to like the idea of a father and son drumming act and they tell us they like our audition piece!

What do you think? Have we got a chance?

Ian Hunter, live at the Komedia, 30 Oct 07



Drummer Steve Holley (Wings - Back to the Egg) has been a family friend for many years, so it was great to go and see him play in Ian Hunter's band at the Komedia, Brighton on 30 Oct 07. I was a big fan of Mott the Hoople in the 70s so it was a real treat to see All the Young Dudes, Roll Away the Stone and All the Way from Memphis live. As you can see, I was right at the front of the stage! It was wonderful to meet the legendary Ian Hunter too.
