Features OverviewOverviewReports Center is an add-on option designed specifically for Print Manager Plus customers. Working with and licensing Microsoft Reporting Services Client Runtime technology we have designed a fully web based information portal that will allow our customers to view all printing data and traffic via pre-made Reports, Graphs, and Statements. The product is licensed as a Standard and Professional version. Besides the existing current built-in reports already included within Print Manager Plus, this new add-on option and many new additional features highlight the precise, and important data collected. The scalability of Reports Center has been engineered for any size Workgroup, Network, or Enterprise. If you are a small business with only 2 printers or a University Department with 100 students, or a corporate enterprise with multiple locations and thousands of users and printers, Print Manager Plus Reports Center can be easily installed and administered. Reports Center will do the work for you. Linking directly into Active Directory not only will you be able to see complete print traffic dashboards, and full network printing traffic easily, but users, students, clients, departments, etc... can also login and see their dashboards, built specifically for them. Many other features have also been added which you can read about below. The complete data and control provided by the Print Manager Plus that already saves you thousands of dollars in printing costs, and teaches your users to print responsibly, just got better! With over 10 years of experience in the Print Management arena and by surveying and listening to our customers it has made Print Manager Plus the #1 Print Management software in the world, which is used in thousands of Schools, Universities, Libraries, Corporations, Governments, and Individual consultants. Supporting our customers is our #1 priority, and to do this we have through the years created a network of over 125 resellers and distributors in over 65 countries. Our own internal sales and support staff is offered in 13 languages fluently, which gives us one of the highest customer maintenance renewal retention rates in the industry.
