PageScope Enterprise Suite Universal in- & output management

Efficiency in today’s business world is all about saving time. With the PageScope Enterprise SuiteKonica Minolta helps administrators, IT specialists and users streamline their work, minimise their effortsand achieve more in less time.

The Enterprise Suite consists of five individual software components and offers a comprehensive yet modular approach to the setup, control and management of users, in- and output devices, and related network configurations:

n The PageScope Net Care Device Manager is the core application of the Enterprise Suite and gov-erns the central implementation of system network configurations as well as central status monitoring.

n The PageScope Authentication Manager facilitates the central management of the user database and user rights.

n The PageScope Account Manager is essential for the central collection of detailed counter readings and to visualise the resulting cost analysis.

n The PageScope My Print Manager is the follow-me printing module in the Enterprise Suite, enabling secure printing anywhere (i.e. on any networked device) anytime (i.e. whenever convenient).

n The PageScope My Panel Manager provides the individual creation of central user profiles, person-alised address books and scan destinations.

The modules can be used in any combination and flexibly added to a networked environment as changing business needs might require.

Administrating an office is not only about managing users and authorisations. The essential task of any IT administrator is the monitoring of all networked output devices, their status, availability and performance. Printers and MFPs that can’t be used due to depleted consumables or technical problems will keep employees from performing their tasks as usual and thus have a negative impact on the overall productivity in the office.

As the core element of the Enterprise Suite, the PageScope Net Care Device Manager helps the administrator ensure constant high productivity of all registered output devices with realtime monitoring of the system status and condition. At the same time this PageScope module provides a convenient web interface for the quick and easy configuration of network settings and machine details (name, location, department, etc.).

PageScopeNet Care Device Manager

Features:

n Automatic detection and registration of compatible systems on the network, requiring no manual input

n Fast and flexible status monitoring via the web, with icons indicating system availability or problems

n Individual configuring of email notifications to indi-cate status changes or problems, including flexible allocation of machine pools to different administra-tors

n Fast assigning of preconfigured network settings (e.g. subnets, gateways, domains) to multiple sys-tems via templates

n Effective recall of counter readings from multiple systems including third-party devices (by MIB OID - Object Identifier), and automatic export e.g. to an accounting application

Benefits:

n Considerable reduction of administration efforts from comprehensive monitoring via central web interface

n Instant attention to problems and bottlenecks thanks to streamlined status recalls and automatic email notification

n Improved system productivity from maximised uptime, with positive impact on overall office

productivityn Enhanced user motivation, as system availability is

maximised and the need for user intervention is minimised

More productive with effective central monitoring

Administrators know how time-consuming it is to set up scores of users and allocate individual user rights on numerous MFPs. Not to forget the changes that are constantly required; new users have to be added, access rights amended, users deleted.

The PageScope Authentication Manager takes administrator convenience to a new level. For the first time an application serves as central user database and can be dynamically accessed by all networked devices. Once a user has been registered in the Authentication Manager and individual user rights have been allocated, this grants him immediate access to all connected output devices. And the seamless integration with Active Directory makes sure of a unified user data structure.

Features:

n Central user registration from Authentication Manager GUI covers all networked MFPs

n Individual or template-based configuration of user rights for all MFP functions

n Colour usage can be limited or blocked complete-ly

n Real-time check of individual volume limits (in combination with PS Account Manager) ensures instant production stop upon reaching a limit

n Seamless integration with Konica Minolta authenti-cation systems, e.g. biometric or IC card systems; or simple authentication by PIN code or username and password

n User integration and synchronisation with Active Directory, LDAP and Novell Directory Services

Benefits:

n Central control of user rights on all MFPs increas-es transparency and saves time

n Limitation of colour user rights helps reduce high colour document output costs

n Central setup of authentication modes on MFPs saves time and increases administrator efficiency

n Combination with PageScope Account Manager provides real-time output limitations with individual adjustments per user

n Faster user login and less administrative effort thanks to compatibility with IC card and biometric authentication systems

n Savings from more effective cost control, as users’ volume limitations apply across all networked MFPs

PageScope Authentication Manager

Dynamic database for central user and rights management

Comprehensive output and cost reporting

This software platform targets administrators in large and mid-sized companies with high print volumes and multiple output devices.

Web-based, the Account Manager is easy to use and streamlines the central monitoring and collection of counter readings from all registered devices, helping to reduce costs and realise savings. Designed for office environments from around 50 to thousands of employees, the PageScope Account Manager can monitor more than 1,000 devices and supply administrators with reportings that include every print, copy, scan, and fax activity. Analyses of all data can also be drawn up and visualised.

PageScope My Panel Manager

These days efficiency rules the business – and in most offices this means a generalisation of almost everything employees are confronted with. Users of MFPs frequently have to battle with preconfigured settings that often vary from one output device to the next. Address books especially in large organisations can have thousands of entries although most employees only keep regular contact with a small circle of co-workers.

Help is at hand in the office jungle with the PageScope My Panel Manager. The application offers true individualisation of common company settings. Users can easily create their very own profiles, including individual display settings, a personal address book, and their own scan destinations. Even better, this individual user profile is automatically active at any connected MFP right after log-in. No more hassle from a different setup on each output device and thousands of unwanted entries in address books!
