PLANTATION, Fla., Sept. 19 -- Equitrac Corporation, the world's most trusted name in intelligent cost recovery and print management solutions, today announced the availability of Equitrac Professional 5.1, the latest release of its award-winning Equitrac Professional print management and cost recovery solution for legal and professional firms.
Originally launched at Annual Educational Conference and Exposition of the Association of Legal Administrators (ALA), the Equitrac Professional 5.1 update integrates several new print and device management and cost control features into the powerful Equitrac Professional 5 platform, recipient of a 2006 "Pick of the Year" award as "Outstanding Professional Print Management and Cost Recovery Solution" from Buyers Laboratory Inc., the imaging industry's leading source of independent and reliable product testing and evaluation.
The newest available update to Equitrac's fifth-generation cost recovery and print management solution, Equitrac Professional 5.1 offers software tracking of scanned, copied, faxed and printed documents along with call accounting and disbursement capture for more efficient discovery and recovery of client billable expenses.
Equitrac Professional 5.1 enables IT managers to better control and direct print jobs through features that include least-cost print routing and secure document release, while greatly enhancing device management capabilities that help to ensure maximized utilization of the entire multi-function device fleet throughout the legal and professional office environments.
Equitrac Professional 5.1 also provides improved work-flow and approval processes for print management office-wide, through automated import of third- party transactions and automatic routing to individuals for approval and allocation. At the same time, Equitrac Professional 5.1 now integrates essential exception-editing capabilities, enabling IT managers to easily allocate, confirm and approve print and call expenses through an easy-to-use Web-based interface.
IT managers will find Equitrac Professional 5.1's integration with leading Time and Billing systems newly enhanced through introduction of full SQL or API integration with systems that include Thomson Elite and Aderant CMS, providing for near real-time validation synchronization and automatic and error-free transaction transfer.
"Equitrac Professional 5.1 integrates into our market-leading platform for legal and professional firms the latest innovations from our research and development team, providing legal IT managers with cutting-edge tools for maximizing printer fleet management and monitoring and recovering costs throughout the office," said Michael Rich, CEO, Equitrac Corporation. "This latest Equitrac solution for legal and professional firms reflects the fullest integration yet of Equitrac's award-winning print tracking and cost recovery software with the most advanced digital multi-function systems on the market today."
Leveraging the functions of embedded terminals available in today's advanced multifunction products (MFPs), Equitrac Professional 5.1 makes it easy for users to capture, allocate and recover the cost of any document produced at any local or networked printer or digital MFP -- anywhere in the legal or professional firm.
Equitrac Professional 5.1 includes embedded integration with leading multifunction devices, providing a number of key security features, including a full audit trail to help meet regulatory requirements and Follow-You(TM) printing, allowing an individual to submit a print job to a queue and then print that document from any device. The solution also includes Equitrac Embedded for eCopy Scan Station, providing access to the full power of Equitrac on any eCopy ScanStation and connected MFP.
Available as a software-centric embedded or terminal-based solution, Equitrac Professional 5.1 extends and enhances the popular PageCounter and PageCounter Professional terminals with better performance, to offer legal and professional offices maximum cost recovery functionality and flexible support for mixed-vendor environments.
Equitrac Professional 5.1's advanced services fully support the modern digital law practice, featuring direct integration with Microsoft, Novell and Citrix network infrastructures, and more products from independent legal solutions providers than any other vendor. Integration with document management systems from Hummingbird, Worldox and Interwoven, among others, provides automatic matter-centric allocation of document expenses based on the extensive data available in the DMS document profiles.
By providing a standardized, next-generation cost recovery and print tracking solution on a single, scalable network services-based platform, Equitrac Professional 5.1 also simplifies and centralizes IT maintenance and administration, leverages existing hardware investments for greater efficiencies and reduces the total cost of MFP and output device fleet ownership.
