Overview
According to IDC, corporate printing volumes
increase by up to 21% a year. A Gartner analysis
shows the resulting costs consuming between 1%
and 3% of turnover. But the good news is that with
the proper print cost controls, and a well thought
printer deployment, savings of up to 30% are pos-
sible. The Output Monitoring Device (OMD) is an
appliance for print cost monitoring; with important
advantages over software products. The OMD
works independently of operating systems, to
deliver use and print cost information, independent
of printer make and model. This helps you root out
cost drivers and underutilised assets. The OMD
also allows printer service companies to invoice
their customers accurately according to their print
volumes.
