Sentinel print management software will secure your printing, scanning and copying - but an excellent side-effect of pull printing is that waste is all but eliminated. This means that Sentinel will cut your costs significantly by reducing the waste of paper, toner and energy - and indeed it will reduce the number of printers you need in the first place. Don’t take our word for it though - download and install our no-obligation trial and monitor your print infrastructure for two months. No cost, and no strings attached.

Some of the insights you will gain:

Sentinel Version 4 Highlights:

• Traffic-less printing - holding print jobs locally to conserve bandwidth over the WAN, for example in cases when a branch office is connecting to a remote Sentinel server. Useful in cases where having a local print server is impractical or uneconomical.
• Server-less printing - secure pull printing without a server, for cases where it is not possible to connect to a server, or where advanced functionality is not a prerequisite.
• Dynamic XML forms - allows for easy construction of dynamic forms with tables, graphs, images, bar codes, cheques, or any number of other templates; this can save lots of time and money.
• Islands (Multi-Tenant MPS) - these are sub-sites which can have their own groups, users and policies applied. Useful for organisational structures in which different departments, for example, need to be defined.

Improvements:

• Improved dashboard interface
• Newly added or improved views, such as top ten daily, monthly, weekly users, top ten budget usage, jobs per hour, low toner printers, and many more custom views.
• Improved export options for reporting
• Improved history display with detailed administrator configuration logs
• Graphic views for toner level values
• Synchronise to multiple Active Directory domains
