Pharos Systems Announces Blueprint Enterprise 3.1 Industry-Leading Print Asset Management Software to Save You 30% or More in Output Costs
Rochester, NY (ContentDesk) September 22, 2005 ?- Pharos Systems International, the leading provider of print asset management software solutions, today announced the release of Blueprint Enterprise 3.1, the latest version of their industry-leading Blueprint Enterprise product. With its patent-pending page-counting technology that combines device meter read data with user print transaction data, Blueprint Enterprise tracks every page printed by every user from every application in order to calculate real costs based on actual usage. As a result, organizations achieve a true cost-per-page accounting of all users and output devices across the enterprise. Pharos Blueprint Enterprise illuminates your printing environment so you will finally know what you are spending on every printed and copied page. Once you can accurately measure your total enterprise output costs, you can manage and significantly reduce those costs by 30% or more.Included in the new release of Blueprint Enterprise are several key features designed to automate the costing and normalization aspects of the software.
With Automatic Normalization, Blueprint Enterprise maps logical printers to physical devices automatically, so that reporting data is both highly accurate and extremely useful, and achieves a level of precision unmatched by competitors in the industry. "Blueprint Enterprise's Automatic Normalization feature takes the guesswork out of matching logical printers to physical devices, saving IT professionals from having to spend a great deal of time performing manual matching," says Gerard Maxwell, Pharos Systems Software Architect. "We've made the process of finding, tracking, and accurately measuring the costs of every printing device and every user a snap."In addition, an embedded database from Lyra Research provides automatic models-based costing information on more than 5,700 printers, copiers, and multi-function products. This database enables organizations to measure output costs based on manufacturer, model, and device utilization rates, thereby enabling the measurement and reporting of true costs and savings in real-time. And with the inclusion of the new Device Update Handling feature, Blueprint Enterprise manages devices dynamically, detecting device movement, additions, and changes immediately, and updating records as necessary.
This facilitates accurate analysis and reporting in a changing enterprise environment. The latest release of Blueprint Enterprise also features an enhanced, intuitive user interface. This interface provides new screens for managing data analysis functions, as well as data-mining features to facilitate better viewing and searching capabilities. Also included in the new release are full data analysis capabilities, which enable organizations to combine user-level print transactions with data imported from other sources, including meter reads from device management tools and HR data and budget center information, into reports that are both very accurate and complete. Data derived from HR feeds also enable automatic device location, based on the location of the user who is printing to that device most often.
In this way, Blueprint Enterprise enables you to make fact-based decisions about your printing environment while achieving measurable and sustainable savings, enterprise-wide, year after year."Blueprint Enterprise is next-generation print asset management software designed for organizations interested in finding out the true costs of printing and copying in their environment. Its scalability, flexibility, and unique features make this software a results-driven cost-savings IT initiative," says Michael Kabot, Pharos Systems Director of Technology Implementation. "Blueprint Enterprise represents 13 years of Pharos Systems technology innovation and is designed with the singular goal of helping organizations achieve maximum IT cost savings. We think we've achieved exactly that."

How Does Voip Work?
Copyright 2006 Dave Markel
To make your VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) work good enough you need to have broadband internet connection. Internet broadband connections are represented with cable or DSL modems with bandwidth of 56 kbits and higher.
The main idea of VoIP is voice connection using computers. All you need is appropriate software installed on your computer and microphone with a headset or speakers connected. Do not forget that using such software is free and easy to download.
Unlike computer-to-computer calls which are free of charge VoIP software is also used as simple trunk-line. But even so such calls are still cheaper then phone-to-phone ones.
Remember- to make computer-to-computer calls you should run the same software at both sides.
But in case of making cellular or land-line call via VoIP no extra software or equipment is needed.

Internet Radio Station Proves if You Build it, They will Come
When 12StepRadio.com launched its first Internet broadcast on April 17, 2004, its playlist contained 49 songs.

Only ten months later, the station's playlist has grown to over 150 songs, broadcasting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.As word spreads within the recovery community, the number of listeners keeps increasing.
January 2005 was the station's tenth record month in a row with 12,000 visits.
Over 2,500 listeners visited more than ten times.

Reducing the Number of Uninsured Through Education
Late last year the federal government announced that over 11 million Americans with a family income over $50,000 have no health insurance.
This report was based on 2004 census data. A new report issued February 28, 2005) by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) figure puts the number at 7.9 million.
Both calculations are based on the same census data but the EBRI concludes that some sampling error distorted the government calculation.
This figure is important because it generally represents the group that could afford health insurance, but either chooses to be uninsured or does not know about the affordable health insurance options that are available.
This higher income group represents about a quarter of all U.S. individuals without health insurance.
The overall number of middle-income individuals who could afford health insurance but do not make the decision to purchase insurance is estimated at about 20 million, or about half of...
