Digital copiers are fast, reliable and produce high quality print ... yet some businesses resist.

SCHAUMBURG, IL- "Digital" has become the new buzzword these days. With the increasing importance of networks and the ongoing demand on laser printers, digital technology has quickly made its way into the mainstream of most successful businesses. Networking and connectivity issues are a daily concern, and today's marketplace has been quick to fill the gaps with products that address these needs. Although digital copiers are faster, more reliable and produce better quality print, some businesses have yet to embrace this new technology. Why? Price justification has been pinpointed as one major issue...until now.

DigiTrack Systems, Inc., has addressed this business challenge bv providing an affordable, convenient and easy to use system that monitors digital printing usage. With DigiTrack for Printing, digital document duplication can be tracked and managed, while easily justifying the costs associated with this new technology. By adding this software to their product line, dealers and digital manufacturers are providing an easy way for their customers to recoup the costs associated with doing business using digital technology.

DigiTrack for Printing is the first software of its kind on the marketplace, and it is positioned to revolutionize the industry by providing a way to monitor digital usage. It has the ability to help users measure costs associated with printer and digital copier usage, including toner and paper costs, while also having the capability to assign and bill back these costs.

"Adding DigiTrack for Printing to their product line is the next logical step for dealers and manufacturers who want to capitalize on digital technology," explains Chris Trojanek, Managing Director of Worldwide Sales, DigiTrack Systems, Inc. "DigiTrack for Printing is the missing link for their customers need to align this new technology with their bottom line."

DigiTrack for Printing functions across most industry standard network platforms and is designed to operate across multiple workstations. Every time a document is printed from one of these workstations, a DigiTrack window automatically appears to ask for assignment of the task by user, department and/or project. With just a few easy keystrokes or the click of the mouse, the task has been assigned and can be effectively tracked.

Utilizing the information recovered from the user screen, DigiTrack's comprehensive reporting capability provides administrators with valuable information to help justify and recoup the cost of digital technology. DigiTrack is designed with reporting features to monitor by project, department, client, user, facility and many other parameters.

DigiTrack's administrative tool is easily customizable to reflect the particular business requirements of any organization. For example: a law firm using the system may choose to categorize its projects by the "client" they are working for, and then to further sub-categorize them by the specific "matter." DigiTrack has the capability to name and code these categories to be reflected on all user stations. In addition, administrators can assign cost levels to particular projects, clients, users, printer, etc., providing flexible and innovative cost structures designed uniquely for every business requirement.
