Equitrac Introduces Next-Generation Cost Recovery and Print Management Solution for Law Firms



Equitrac Professional 5 Integrates With Xerox Multifunction Systems to Increase Recovery of Client-Billable Expenses

MONTREAL, Canada, May 1 /-- Equitrac Corporation, the world's most trusted name in intelligent cost recovery and print management solutions, today announced the Equitrac Professional 5 solution suite for legal and professional firms. Equitrac's fifth-generation cost recovery and print management solution 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.

Announced here at the 35th Annual Educational Conference and Exposition of the Association of Legal Administrators (ALA), Equitrac Professional 5 leverages the functions of embedded terminals available in today's advanced multifunction products (MFPs), making 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.

Using the latest technologies from solution providers such as Xerox Corporation, Equitrac Professional 5 offers a number of advanced capabilities. Equitrac Professional 5, integrated with Xerox WorkCentre Pro® multifunction systems, adapts to a user's work process. For instance, at the user interface an office worker can be prompted with questions, such as "enter your client number" or "please enter a description for this transaction."

Xerox and Equitrac provide a number of other features. Single-Sign-On allows a user to log in once and access all device features. A full audit trail is created to help meet regulatory requirements. Follow-You(TM) print allows a person to submit a print job to a queue and then print that document from any device.

Equitrac Professional 5 also includes Equitrac Embedded for eCopy Scan Station, providing access to the full power of Equitrac on any eCopy ScanStation and connected MFP. Also, Equitrac Professional 5 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.

In addition to its industry-leading cost recovery feature set, Equitrac Professional 5 provides customers the benefits of Equitrac's enterprise- strength print management technology. In an industry first, Equitrac Professional 5 includes the tools to reduce output costs, improve security, and simplify IT infrastructure through active output management, automatic job routing, and Follow-You secure document release fully integrated in the network services application.

"Equitrac Professional 5 provides future-ready cost recovery and print tracking to legal and professional firms in a software-centric solution that enhances existing IT investments and provides a cost-effective bridge to the embedded terminal capabilities of today's advanced devices," said Michael Rich, CEO, Equitrac Corporation. "This new Equitrac solution marks a culmination of our efforts in partnership with device manufacturers to fully integrate Equitrac's industry-leading print tracking and cost recovery software with the most advanced digital multi-function systems on the market today."

Equitrac Professional 5's advanced services fully support the modern digital practice, featuring direct integration with all leading time and billing systems, 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 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. Equitrac Professional 5 delivers copy, print, scan, phone, fax, postage, research, and other disbursement cost recovery and expense management fully integrated with a single point of administration.
