Solution Info Company: Pharos Systems International URL: http://www.pharos.com Contact HP Product Description Pharos Blueprint® Enterprise is a software solution designed to help corporate enterprises save money on print/copy, reduce printing waste, and easily secure devices and documents. It incorporates industry-leading tracking technology that provides a complete picture of printing and copying across the enterprise all the way down to the user level. Pharos Blueprint® Enterprise has a sophisticated costing engine that calculates what’s being spent on document output. It has tools for implementing printing policies that empower employees to print more responsibly. And it has a secure pull-printing application that safeguards confidential documents while providing print-anywhere flexibility. Solving real business needs In a world of heightened sensitivity to security and privacy issues, companies are determined to safeguard their documents and put an end to confidential documents sitting in plain view in the printer room. Secure Release Here makes printing security easy. Jobs are held until their owners authenticate themselves at the printer. Employees simply swipe their ID card and use the Pharos interface to select the jobs they want to print. Companies want to reduce their output costs while creating greener workplaces. Policy Print changes employees’ printing behavior by communicating and enforcing policies before jobs are printed. Policy Print’s “Inform,” “Warn” and “Deny” compliance categories allow businesses to implement simple, flexible, and effective policy enforcement that doesn’t alienate users. The solution is shipped with a default set of policies called “GoGreen-GetGreen” that includes constraints on printing Web pages and e-mails in color or sending jobs to desktop ink-jet devices rather than less expensive networked devices. Policy Print also provides a unique monthly report that can be e-mailed to all users or just those who do the most printing, showing them how much printing they did and how much it cost, and can include tips about what they can do to print more cost effectively in the future. Features & Benefits Discovers every printer that users print to, whether network, local, or direct IP connected. Tracks print/copy across the entire enterprise down to the user level. Does real print/copy costing based on actual utilization and an embedded database that contains information on over 7300 devices and their associated supplies. Offers true enterprise-class scalability. Pharos has installations with hundreds of thousands of seats. Provides tools through Policy Print™ for creating, communicating, and enforcing policies to reduce printing costs and waste. Enables secure and convenient pull printing through Secure Release Here®. Also significantly reduces waste by giving employees a second chance at the printer to decide what they really need to print. Unreleased jobs are eventually purged.
