Plus Technologies Announces revolutionary new Enterprise Print Management Solution

Dayton, Ohio - Plus Technologies, the software division of Digital Controls Corporation, announced today the release of a new output management software solution called Queue Administrator Plus (QA Plus). QA Plus provides a full output management solution while solving the problem of having to define and maintain printer definitions across multiple UNIX/ Windows servers.

In client/server architectures print queues need to be defined on each server in the network. For companies with multiple servers and hundred or even thousands of printers, administration can be a huge operational headache. QA Plus resolves this problem by providing a single place where all printers can be defined for all servers in the network, significantly reducing administration workload. In addition, QA Plus provides a complete output management system capable of delivering business documents and reports to a variety of end destinations including printers, e-mail, fax and web servers.

It is not unusual for large companies to have hundreds or thousands of print queues that need to be accessed from multiple application servers of varying types, each application server with it's own unique printer administration utility. In order to keep up with constant changes to network printing configurations, IT staff need to add or delete printers on each server using each server's native tools, all of which may be different. This effort creates a constant drain on IT's time. In large companies, printer administration can consume scarce IT resources preventing execution of much more strategic corporate initiatives.

Not only is automated printer administration a key to an efficient IT organization, but today's complex business applications require enhanced fidelity in printing, faxing, and e-mailing application output (eg. invoices, checks, bills of lading, shipping documents, etc) . In addition to printer administration, QA Plus enhances printing performance by providing delivery confirmation, allowing re-directing of jobs, re-printing, re-starting on any page, viewing, and secure system access, all with a convenient job status display/monitor, for output delivery to printers, e-mail, fax and web servers.

"QA Plus is the ideal solution for companies looking for advanced printer/output management with a single point of printer administration," said Michael Visser, VP and GM of Plus Technologies. Added Visser, "QA Plus is a product that is a direct result of us listening to our customers and the market. We believe there are no comprehensive, cost effective alternatives to QA Plus on the market today. With QA Plus, all printer queue management and administration is done from a single server. This will eliminate the time it takes for an IT person to manage printers on dozens or even hundreds of servers, one at a time."
