Print Manager Plus 2008 includes a sophisticated print tracking system which allows law firms to accurately bill back their printing costs to clients with ease

Clearwater, Florida and London, UK: The just-released software, Print Manager Plus 2008 for law firms includes features to help recession proof law firms and improve billing practices and income. The entire time-consuming process of manually recording all printing done of behalf of clients, attributing each print job to the correct client and working out the respective costs to be billed to each is now an integral part of Print Manager Plus 2008. No expensive hardware or training is needed with this pure software solution.

The software allows for the client name, account name or matter codes to be billed back to a central database each time a user within the law firm prints from their workstation. It then keeps track of all print job characteristics such as date and time printed, username, document title, number of pages, number of copies, duplex, NUp, and the cost of the print job.

“PMP even allows legal firms to add a margin to the actual cost of each print job, either as a fixed Dollar (or other currency) amount or as a percentage,” says Danny Byrnes, VP of Software Shelf International. “They had to use a paper logbook and try to work it all out in a spreadsheet. Inevitably, many print jobs slipped through the net and were never billed back to the client. Thanks to Print Manager Plus, that’s now impossible and it also saves them hours of admin, paying for itself within a very short space of time!”

Print Manager Plus is fully transparent and almost indistinguishable from Windows itself. It is very easy to use and requires no changes to the existing network configuration. It works with all makes of printer and on any operating system, running off Windows Server or Workstation. It is also fully scalable with flexible licensing available from SOHO (Small Office/Home Office), to the Small Business Edition, right up to the full version, so it is, therefore, suitable for any size of law firm.

With over 150 pre-made in-built reports, graphs and statements, billing back to the clients of law firms has never been easier to administer and audit.

Print Manager Plus Is Considered a Vital Necessity by its Clients in this Time of Looming Economic Recession

Over 78% of survey respondents give ‘controlling costs’ as the primary reason for using Print Manager Plus

Clearwater, Florida and London, UK -- Software Shelf International, Inc recently conducted a survey among its clients worldwide. The results clearly show that their primary reason for using the product is to control and so reduce both the direct and indirect running costs of printing within their organizations, namely: paper, ink (toner), printer maintenance and electricity.

Other reasons given for using Print Manager Plus in the survey were: its advanced reporting capabilities (it comes with over 130 detailed reports and analysis graphs that allow you to see who is printing, what they are printing and the cost of that printing); its ease of use (it is just like a natural extension of the operating system itself and is completely transparent to the user, needing no additional hardware); and its positive impact upon the environment. Software Shelf recently announced that the combined effect of its international educational customer base alone saves over 100,000 trees a month. In addition, less printing means less electricity consumed which, in turn, means reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

“What with current economic forecasts, if ever there was a time to improve the bottom line to aid corporate survival, it is now,” says Danny Byrnes, Vice President, Software Shelf International. “As our survey results show, our clients have recognized that Print Manager Plus makes a valuable contribution towards the survival of their organizations. Companies who have not yet embraced the power of PMP but who are starting to feel the pinch might want to look of this amazing software solution as a way of securing their own financial stability.”

Besides the important printing data that can be obtained, PMP allows Administrators to fully control printing by being able to implement Quotas and Restrictions on Users, Groups, Organizational Units, and Printers. The powerful restrictions vary from color usage, time usage, limiting pages and copies per print job, to scheduling and implementing printer usage. These controlling limits allow organizations to actually cut wasteful printing hence saving time, money, and resources.

Two noteworthy comments made by respondents of the survey that so effectively sum up what Print Manager Plus 2008 is and does were: “Print Manager Plus is a complete print management solution” and “Print Manager Plus provides functionality that is lacking in our operating system.”

New Print Management Software for Schools and Colleges Reduces Wasted Printouts by Up to 50%

Print Manager Plus stops wasted printouts in schools

Print Manager Plus 2008 can make a substantial dent in school, college or university budgets for toner, paper and print maintenance, significantly reducing costs by eliminating unnecessary student and staff printing. It is the only all-digital solution for educational establishments that is available at a fraction of the cost of other complex hardware-based products, providing the same level of functionality with better quality and without the need for expensive hardware or additional training for staff and students.

Clearwater, Florida and London, UK -- Software Shelf International, Inc recently announced the latest version of its cost-saving solution for schools, colleges and universities: Print Manager Plus 2008, the All-Digital Print Accounting and Cost Reduction Software. The system allows print quotas and restrictions to be set per student (and teaching and admin staff) whilst offering detailed tracking of all printing history.

The software can restrict printing by file type, by user or by group resulting in a marked reduction in printer wear and tear, use of electricity and consumption of supplies. This is great news for the environment as well as the school’s overall cost of operation. Schools using Print Manager Plus report enormous savings in their printer maintenance and paper and ink costs.

The product, which runs on any operating system and works with all printers, is extremely intuitive and easy to use and just looks like an integral part of the operating system itself. Other solutions involve complex and expensive hardware requiring specialized training for both staff and students. The Print Manager Plus 2008 software-only solution provides the same level of functionality and even better quality at a fraction of the cost.

“Exactly how much money is being spent on all aspects of their own printing (paper, ink, printer maintenance and electricity usage) and the printing service they provide for students, free of charge, is unknown to most schools. If students can print photos of sports cars or of Paris Hilton unchecked, they will,” claims Danny Byrnes, Vice President, Software Shelf. “And teachers, nearing their quota, will perhaps decide against printing that handout they were planning for their entire class, getting their students to find the information online instead. Print Manager Plus can, in fact, eliminate wasted printing in schools by as much as 50%!”

“If users are allowed unlimited printing, they will print unlimited pages” and “Paper doesn’t grow on trees” were 2 pertinent responses from a recent industry study of Print Manager Plus customers commenting on why Print Manager Plus 2008 is a must-have for any organization in these times of looming recession.

Control of Printing Costs Vital in Looming Recession Say Official Studies

Print Manager Plus reduces wasted print outs

Print Manager Plus by Software Shelf offers a powerful yet simple and cost-effective way for any organization to assess, control and reduce printing costs – now estimated to be as high as 3% of revenue. Print Manager Plus software is the only All Digital Solution in a market place inundated with costly expensive hardware-based solutions. Print Manager Plus is a fraction of the price of the hardware-based tools, yet brings the same level of functionality.

Clearwater, Florida and London, UK -- Software Shelf International, Inc today announced its recession-proofing solution for any organization with network printing: Print Manager Plus 2008, the All Digital Print Accounting and Cost Reduction Software.

The waste of money from out-of-control network printing has been highlighted in many industry reports: a hidden and pernicious operational cost within any organization. In today’s tough economic climate, there needs to be a proper solution to this hidden cost that would allow companies to exercise proper control in the area of their in-house network printing, to avoid becoming another statistic.

Software Shelf’s solution is the recently launched Print Manager Plus 2008 which offers full printing control with detailed reporting on exactly what is being printed and by whom. It can restrict printing by file type, by user or by group and even enables daily quotas. The result is a marked reduction in printer wear and tear, use of electricity and consumption of supplies. This is great news for the environment as well as the company’s bottom line. Organizations using Print Manager Plus report enormous savings in their printer maintenance and paper and ink costs.

“The problem is that the total cost of printing is unknown for most enterprises. Industry researcher Gartner estimates that companies may spend an average of up to 3% of their revenue on output, making it one of the most over-looked and under-managed assets of their front-end systems,” says Danny Byrnes, Vice President, Software Shelf.

Many professionals in large organisations or schools may find this surprising, because few realize just how much they spend on printing, let alone what they can do to reduce it. In fact, a study by Lyra Research indicates that few network managers and IT departments track printing costs at all. But, an accurate assessment of costs is essential in order to start reducing them.

“Having the ability to monitor, control and restrict one’s printing over a network is so fundamental that, in hindsight, one would expect it to have been included in the operating system; but it wasn’t, so we’ve simply filled that void,” adds Danny Byrnes.

Print Accounting Software Company Offers a Great Way to Go Green

Print Manager Plus by Software Shelf International allows almost any company to easily become more eco-friendly and contribute massively to the environment

Clearwater, Florida and London, UK: Printer control firm, Software Shelf International (SSI), wants those companies that still haven’t fully embraced the green movement, yet are looking for the best way to be part of it, to know that a solution is at hand.

Print Manager Plus, the print management tool developed by international company, Software Shelf, regulates and restricts printing across a network, thereby making enormous savings in printer paper and ink cartridges.

“As a consequence, the benefits extend far into the environment,” says Danny Byrnes, SSI director based in the company’s Clearwater head office. “Reducing the amount of paper your company gets through every month is a great way to do something positive about global warming because it reduces energy consumption at every stage – from paper manufacturing, to transport, and finally to the energy actually consumed by your printers.

“Where forests are not managed properly, the demand for paper can lead to deforestation – so there’s another obvious benefit. Taking all of our customers into account, we recently estimated that our Print Manager Plus software saves planet Earth about 150,000 trees every month!

“In addition, the paper manufacturing industry is a heavy consumer of water, so here’s another environmental area where our print accounting software is helping.”

It goes without saying that because Print Manager Plus saves printer ink, printer paper, electricity, and causes less wear and tear on the company’s printers – it pays for itself very rapidly.

To make an even bigger positive impact on the environment, SSI strongly recommends that companies also implement paper recycling schemes within their offices.

Print Control Company Software Shelf Now Included in Environment Friendly Site GuideMeGreen

Printer Management Software ‘Print Manager Plus’ officially a ‘green’

company as it saves over 150,000 trees a month worldwide

‘Print Manager Plus’ makes major contribution towards
reducing global wastage of paper and ink

The approximate number of trees that Print Manager Plus
saves worldwide every 30 minutes.

Clearwater, Florida and London: The printer control company, Software Shelf International, has been included in the international green online directory GuideMeGreen which lists companies and charities that offer ethical and environmentally-friendly products and services.

Software Shelf’s print management tool, Print Management Plus, limits users’ ability to print their files by setting quotas or restricting printing by file size and type. The result is a dramatic reduction in wasted paper and ink which not only saves a vast amount of cost for the organisation, but is also great for the environment.

One user of Print Management Plus recently conducted a study into how much paper the software was actually saving them. The Jeanne d’Arc Technical College in Rennes, France which installed the software 2 years ago has 1200 students, 130 staff, 350 workstations and 14 networked printers. They report a saving of between 200 to 300 reams of paper per month, which together with savings on ink, electricity, printer repair and maintenance equates to a saving of about 15,000 Euros a year.

David Oglaza, founder of http://www.guidemegreen.com/ says “I was astounded when I saw how many thousands of trees Print Manager Plus is saving and we very much welcome Software Shelf to the site.”

According to the environmental site Conservatree, 17 reams of paper can be made from one tree. As there are about 10,000 schools using Print Manager Plus worldwide (each with an average of 1100 students), each school using Print Manager Plus is saving around 15 trees a month. In total, that represents a saving of 150,000 trees every month among its school customers alone; this figure does not even take into account the thousands of companies that also use this print limiting software.

“The positive impact that Print Manager Plus has on the environment is far reaching. Not only does it reduce paper and ink consumption, but it also reduces the amount of waste paper going to landfill as well as CO2 emissions as a result of the reduced printer running time. It thoroughly deserves to be known, from now on, as a ‘green’ product and Software Shelf has truly earned its listing in GuideMeGreen,” says Danny Byrnes, Software Shelf’s product manager.

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.

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.

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

A ‘Back to School’ Tip to Improve the School Budget: Printer Control Software Saves $2,000 a Month

Print Manager Plus is Saving a School £12,000 ($24,000) a Year by Restricting Student Printing

With schools re-opening soon, here is a way, applicable to most schools everywhere, for them to improve their budget. Print Manager Plus, a print monitoring system which gives full control over all printing resources by tracking and reporting printing usage and costs across networks, is saving a school £12,000 ($24,000) a Year

London, England, Palo Alto, California: King's Academy, a school in Middlesbrough, England, used to have the problem of astronomic printing costs that were spiralling out of control. But, now that they have implemented the print management system, Print Manager Plus, from Software Shelf International, they are reporting savings of around £12,000 ($24,000) a year due to reduced wastage of ink, paper and printer wear and tear.

The software includes many cost-saving features such as the ability to restrict students’ printing rights by colour, file type and file name. So, for example, students might be able to print spreadsheet documents but not jpg files. That puts a stop to unnecessary print outs of David Beckham, sports cars or Paris Hilton straight away.

But a case that gets across the sheer power of this software to reduce costs is the story of a student of the school who decided to print 700 copies of the same photo “as a joke”. Thanks to the feature that allows you to see exactly what students have printed and to hold them accountable for it if necessary – the school was able to bill his parents for the ink and paper used.

"Within 2 weeks, Print Manager Plus paid for itself and we've been re-investing the savings back into our school," says Kevin Bowker, a school administrator. "We're saving about £12,000 a year, which has allowed us to upgrade our PCs, printers, and more."

Christian Delalez, vice president of Software Shelf’s European office

Christian Delalez, vice president of the company’s European office states, “Print Manager Plus makes total accounting sense because it allows you to keep track of who’s printing what, where and when. Without it, you have no control and are completely in the dark! Unfortunately, this is still the case for most schools and colleges everywhere. There are huge savings to be made here.”

More information about Print Manager Plus is available here: http://www.printmanagerplus.com and a fully functional free evaluation of the software can be downloaded here: http://www.softwareshelf.com/files/downloads.asp?ID=23

About Software Shelf: The company was established in 1994 in Silicon Valley by William Feeley. Its flagship product, Print Manager Plus, is used by thousands of companies, schools and government offices worldwide, including: Yale University, Los Angeles Unified School District, Harvard University, Oxford University, Morgan Stanley, British Library, Bank of England, NATO, Hyatt Hotels and Microsoft. The company provides tech support (in 13 languages) from its offices in the US and UK and from its 153 partners and resellers in 62 countries. Print Manager Plus features include: Print Tracking – it controls and reports printing usage and costs across networks; and Print Budgeting – it restricts users by dollar (or any currency) amount, number of pages per job, job size and file type or by restricting printers by number of pages per job, job size and file type.

Software Shelf Declares its Premier Print Accounting Application Fully Compatible with Longhorn Server

Print Manager Plus® Passes All Windows Server 2008 Compatibility Tests

Palo Alto, California and London (11 July 2007): Software Shelf International, Inc, developers of the world’s leading print monitoring and print accounting software, today announced that its flagship product, Print Manager Plus, is now fully compatible with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (formerly Longhorn Server).

Software Shelf, a Microsoft Certified Partner, has been a designated beta tester for Microsoft for many years, ensuring that its print management software remains ‘state of the art’ software technology for use on Microsoft operating systems. Print Manager Plus operates as a seamless extension of the Windows operating system.

Software Shelf vice-president Christian Delalez

“With the upcoming release of Windows Server 2008 later this year, the server infrastructure changes that organizations have to encounter will now be seamless with respect to their use of Print Manager Plus,” affirms Software Shelf vice-president Christian Delalez.

“We are very excited about the future release of Windows Server 2008, especially following International Data Corporation’s very positive predictions for the new platform last May* so we are very proud to be able to announce that Print Manager Plus is already fully compatible with Windows Server 2008.”

With well over 150,000 copies of Windows Server 2008 having been downloaded since its beta release in April and about 2,600 websites already running on the platform, including Microsoft’s Internet Information Server (IIS) 7.0 for its own main website, there is every indication of a broad appeal for the new operating system.

With this announcement, Software Shelf can now confirm that Print Manager Plus runs on all main versions of Windows i.e. Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista and now Windows Server 2008 (code named Longhorn Server until recently). The technical support that Software Shelf provides in 13 languages from its offices in the US and UK and from its 153 partners and resellers in 62 countries will include support for the Windows Server 2008 platform as soon as it is officially released.

Print Manager Plus requires no training for anyone familiar with Windows, it is affordable to nearly any organization being licensed at a fraction of the price of other similar software while yet being of the highest technical quality. Microsoft made it their “Solution of the Month” for the public sector for 18 months in a row. Hewlett-Packard recently awarded Software Shelf its Outstanding Partner of the Year Award due in part to the quality and functionality of its flagship product, Print Manager Plus.

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 and government offices worldwide, including: Yale University, Los Angeles Unified School District, Harvard University, Oxford University, Morgan Stanley, British Library, University of California, Bank of England, NATO, CNN, Commerzbank, European Transaction Bank, National Bank of Kuwait, Hyatt Hotels and Microsoft. The company provides tech support (in 13 languages) from its offices in the US and UK and from its 153 partners and resellers in 62 countries.
