With multiple print facilities, an organization typically monitors print costs in terms of reams of paper and boxes of toner. Imagine having granular enough accounting records to support departmental chargeback and print cost analysis. VPSX enables an organization to measure print costs in detail: the users, the documents, the printers, and more.
Your organization can understand and monitor document requirements and production resources across the enterprise. Relate users, printers, and other resource information to your business processes. Measure your document strategy initiatives or simply keep a pulse on the volume trends using standard hierarchical analysis tools to visualize the data.
VPSX software generates accounting data in a format that can be extended for use with many popular log analysis tools. These tools offer exceptional reporting functions that analyze the VPSX log files to the smallest detail. This detailed data can support accurate departmental chargeback, assist in developing a reference model for base lining costs or budgets; help validate leased printer click charges, and more.
When users are held accountable for their printing, our customers tell us that simply showing them how to track the amount of output being printed drastically reduces needless printing.
The "Extended Log Format" standard used by VPSX is described on the World Wide Web Consortium site at: www.W3C.org.
