Venlo, The Netherlands, 18 June 2009 — Océ, an international leader in digital document management, introduced today Océ PRISMAenterprise™ software. The web-based software enables administrators to centrally manage accounting, authentication and device information with tools that link applications and easily share them on one server. With the Océ PRISMAenterprise system, operator panel settings can be customized to specific users and made available on each MFP to improve the user experience, provide fast data access and increase productivity.

“Océ PRISMAenterprise software is a productive addition to the Océ PRISMA® software line-up. We have made it easier for administrators to set up, manage, control and administer security policies for Océ devices on the network so customers can concentrate on their core business,” said Thomas O’Neill, Vice President, Product and Strategic Marketing, Océ North America, Document Printing Systems. “The productive modules of Océ PRISMAenterprise help make it easier for our customers to monitor and control costs, increase operational efficiencies and provide peace of mind in securing the use and output of Océ devices. We are excited to expand the Océ PRISMA line with this new introduction.”

Increase productivity

The web-based Océ PRISMAenterprise software includes the Device Manager, Account Manager, Authentication Manager and My Panel manager applications. These tools systematically link applications, integrating and sharing them seamlessly on one server. This results in easier device operation and integrated management of device fleets.

Reduce costs

Océ PRISMAenterprise software provides powerful tools to manage upper limits, analyze usage conditions, estimate costs and clearly graph the aggregate results. These help reduce and manage costs on a group basis.

Easy to use

The permanent availability of essential data is crucial in managing device fleets. With Océ PRISMAenterprise, the centralized management of accounting, authentication and device information is easily available.

Minimize effort

The four elements of Océ PRISMAenterprise software work together on one server and in a variety of combinations, as needed. To optimize workflow and the efficiency of business, the device control and control panel settings can be customized. 

Device Manager

This freeware application simplifies device set up and maintenance. With it, administrators can search for devices on the network, create and distribute initial device settings and monitor system status. Device Manager provides web-based, fast and flexible status monitoring by indicating system availability or problem occurrence. If a problem arises, alerts can be automatically distributed via email.

Authentication Manager

Authentication Manager controls user permissions, function restrictions and user login data for multiple devices on a network and enables the simple and efficient set up of authentication data for each user. With this tool, authentication and function restrictions can be controlled when the device environment has mixed authentication methods, such as password protection and biometric authentication.

Account Manager

With Account Manager, customers can analyze and manage the data for up to 2,000 devices on their network. Account Manager allows the management and reduction of costs on a group basis by defining upper limits and usage conditions. This module allows the administrator to calculate costs and clearly graph the aggregate results.

My Panel Manager

With My Panel Manager, users can set preferences to create a unique operator panel for themselves. They can also define frequently used scan destinations and create personal address books. Building on convenience, administrators can customize operator panel settings, address books and user interface language. These individual settings for each user can be stored on the majority of Océ office devices. When linked with Authentication Manager, a user’s personal operator panel can be instantly and easily retrieved to help boost productivity

i-Option Function

i-Option™ offers users and administrators the ability to increase the functionality of many Océ VarioLink devices. Users can create custom welcome screens or navigation screens to make “pull” printing from network servers easier or increase security through the creation of secure PDF files. The Océ professional services team can create or guide users through the creation of solutions like these or other unique functions for any i-Option enabled MFP.
