East Coast University Purchases OM Plus

An East Coast University has purchased OM Plus to help their Epic print environment. Furthermore, this customer of Plus Technologies is a University Healthcare Center on the Eastern part of the United States. In addition, they are a large Epic user with around 7,000 destinations. Moreover, this Epic implementation will use OM Plus Stats Manager (SM) and Plus Technologies’ New web client.

This University Healthcare Center will be supporting 6 healthcare facilities from the Central Epic instance. OM Plus will significantly reduce the number of redundant queue definitions across Epic EPS servers. Additionally, OM Plus defines print queues once for a printer and propagates across Epic EPS servers. Furthermore, they also propagate these same queues out to Windows front-end print servers.

OM Plus Stats Manager – Print Metrics and Statistics

OM Stats Manager (SM) is a printing solutions application that enables organizations to analyze and understand the who, what, when, and where of printing, copying, faxing, and scanning in their enterprise. Also, by collecting print spooling data Stats Manager is able to provide user based print metrics in addition to device based data. This user based metric allows organizations to understand who is printing, what they are printing, when they are printing, what application the documents are coming from, and even the titles of the documents.

Unlike other printing solutions, Stats Manager provides scheduled reports as well as an ad-hoc query capability to enable users to search for the data as they require it.
