The document discusses the challenges of managing complex print environments, particularly in large healthcare organizations, including issues with scaling, increased expenses, and troubleshooting difficulties. It presents OM Plus, an enterprise output management software that centralizes and automates print management, significantly reducing the number of print servers needed and improving print-related processes. Case studies highlight successful implementations of OM Plus that resulted in substantial reductions in print servers and operational costs.
Server Consolidation with OM Plus Delivery Manager
- 2. Limi Property of Plus Technologies - Confidential - 2015 Limitation in Windows to scale to larger print fleet. Expense increases as print servers are added. Complexity of print infrastructure increases effort/labor to maintain. Enterprise printing often involves multiple data streams and work- flows, hopping across multiple servers and operating systems, data transformations and jobs going across complex networks to printers at multiple locations. Troubleshooting requires queries into multiple systems and piecing information together from various systems to track down a problem. Redundant print queues manually defined across multiple servers in multiple locations. As a result, customers have asked for a solution requiring fewer print servers
- 3. OM Plus Delivery Manager (DM) is advanced, intelligent Enterprise Output Management software. OM Plus will manage enterprise level print systems. OM Plus seamlessly ingests documents from multiple systems, manages queues, adds delivery functions, and routes to destinations such as printers, fax software, email systems, and more.
- 4. Property of Plus Technologies - Confidential - 2015 Provides the ability to scale to accommodate a huge number of printers on a single server Centralized Print Administration Ability to automatically replicate print queues across multiple servers Eliminate, reduce or repurpose redundant server hardware Reduce print related errors and issues Reduce administration and support Lower print volume and costs Increased capacity and reliability Improved availability and systems management capability across entire print infrastructure

- 6. Property of Plus Technologies - Confidential - 2015 U.S. Healthcare Organization Profile- Large healthcare organization located in U.S. north-west Scenario- Needed to streamline a complex Epic EMR queue management environment with approximately 5,000 multi-vendor print devices that span multiple locations. Value Prop- Reduced print servers from 8 to 1. OM Plus streamlines operations by seamlessly integrating into their back-end Epic EMR systems, automating queue creation, consolidating print servers and reducing help desk workload through the provision of robust trouble-shooting tools. U.S. Healthcare Organization Profile- Largest managed health care provider in the U.S. Scenario- Organization needed to manage a very large Epic EMR system with over 25,000 printers and multi-function devices across the nine state region. Value Prop- Reduced print servers from 200 to 17. Health care provider is streamlining operations by reducing managed print queues, reducing printing errors, automating error recovery, printer load balancing, and increasing system up-time.
- 7. Property of Plus Technologies - Confidential - 2015 U.S. Healthcare Organization Profile- Large healthcare organization located in U.S. north-west Scenario- IT staff was spending a disproportionate amount of time administering the print environment and resolving printing problems. Value Prop- Reduced print servers from 12 to 4. With OM Plus installed, they can centrally manage and monitor the print stream process from receipt of print jobs on the Cache server all the way to delivery to printers’ output trays. U.S. Computer Technology Company Profile- Large computer technology company based in southern U.S. that develops, sells, repairs and supports computers and related products and services. Scenario- Organization needs to reduce the number of print servers used to manage and administrate a large printer fleet. Value Prop- Reduced print servers from 22 to 7. OM Plus is a highly scalable solution that will allow them to centrally manage large printer fleets while reducing the number of print servers used.
