Different environments use different types of systems and run different page description languages on different platforms.
Ideally, workflows should be structured to flexibly handle print requirements that change on a day-by-day, application-by-application basis, within and across departments and environments.
After all, the business and operational challenges that an on demand environment faces are vastly different from those that tackled by an IT manager in managing document production for work groups in the office.
Whether you’re an enterprise work group user or an IT support or help desk expert, existing office printing management techniques typically leave much to be desired. You need a simple, centralised workflow management solution that makes everyone in the office more productive and IT support personnel more efficient.
Driving efficiency and raising productivity means overcoming common networked office printing challenges like:
* Managing multiple drivers for a host of printers on desktop PCs;
* Underutilised corridor multifunction devices;
* Mixed PC and Macintosh files;
* High desktop printing and outsourcing costs;
* Insufficient job tracking and accounting;
* Difficulty integrating hard copy documents into the digital workflow;
* Overworked IT staff and high IT support costs;
* Inefficient job and device management; and
* Seamless connectivity and two-way communication with the in-house printshop.
“For enterprises looking to streamline document workflow, reduce IT support costs and manage print jobs and output devices more effectively, Océ PRISMA for the Networked Office provides a comprehensive document solution that optimises the enterprise document infrastructure,” says Hennie Kruger, DDS product and marketing manager of Océ South Africa.
From document creation through archive, Océ PRISMA makes everyone in the office more productive through a unified job ticket and by directly supporting more than 160 Océ and non-Océ output devices.
The Océ PRISMA for Networked Office solution set provides an easy-to-implement workflow solution specifically designed for networked office environments. Providing complete support for the document lifecycle, Océ PRISMA provides robust management of Océ and non-Océ devices, flexible capabilities like scan-to-email, PDF, network, desktop; and output to e-mail and fax.
Work group users can flexibly route jobs to any network printer, manage jobs and devices over the Internet or intranet, and track, allocate, and charge back costs to departments or clients using simple billing and accounting functions addressing the most critical networked office challenges.
