Gestetner`s Equitrac Office gives IT managers true business intelligence to control costs

Equitrac Office from Gestetner SA makes the efficient management of document output costs easy to achieve. Using technology from one of the world`s leading cost accounting and management software firms, Equitrac, this product allows organisations to closely monitor and control virtually all document output costs in the general office environment, from printers to multifunctional products (MFPs).

"With Equitrac Office, Gestetner customers can understand exactly how much money is being spent on document output knowledge that most organisations do not possess," explains Anthony Ho, product support manager at Gestetner SA. "The complete transparency, accountability and control offered by Equitrac Office enables organisations to manage document output carefully, increasing efficiency and controlling costs by allowing administrators to precisely monitor levels of printer usage."

Equitrac Office offers increased security as document devices can be configured to accept only authenticated users, providing secure printing that will be of particular benefit to organisations handling sensitive documents.

Gestetner is dedicated to working with organisations to define, develop and implement document output strategies that deliver increased levels of efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Equitrac Office is the latest product in Gestetner^1s toolkit to do this. "By enabling more economical use of Gestetner products, Equitrac Office also helps to conserve the consumption of paper and toner, which reduces costs while minimising the environmental impact of the hardware," says Ho.
