Accounting Management Plug-in

Track Document Usage and Control Costs

In a business environment characterized by escalating

expenses and the pressure to minimize them, it’s

surprising that the cost of utilizing o ce equipment isn’t

managed more aggressively. Most Fortune 500 companies

could not quantify the total spending associated with the

use of basic equipment such as copiers, fax machines, and

network printers. That is, until now.

The Accounting Management Plug-in is a modular upgrade

to the imageWARE Enterprise Management Console

device management framework. This comprehensive Web-

based software tracks, analyzes, and recovers costs associ-

ated with all networked output devices, including printers,

fax machines, and copiers. With this one application, not

only can IT administrators understand document output

costs, they can also realize their return on investments.

Using Accounting Management Plug-in, you can:

• Track document output costs

• O er charge-back capability with an accurate collec-

tion of billing data—on a per-project basis—for all your

copies, prints, faxes, and scans

the use of higher-cost machines and increasing overall

security

• Quickly generate ROI reports
