Large organisations often have a service-driven solution to manage all their IT resources. Examples are CA Unicenter, HP OpenView and Tivoli Business Manager. These environments take over all hard- and software assets in the organisation, including network-attached printers, copiers and Multi-functional Peripherals (MFPs). Often these devices or their specific capabilities are not or only partly recognised by the management environment. This leaves the IT-manager with a problem: how can he/she optimise device usage, lower device costs and still be able to manage and control everything centrally?
Ricoh provides plug-ins for CA Unicenter, HP OpenView and Tivoli Business Manager. With the plug-ins installed, management environments recognise network-attached Ricoh Aficio™ laser printers, MFPs and their installed options. The IT-manager can now visualise the presence, location and status of Aficio™ devices. The Ricoh plug-ins add advanced management functionality for Aficio™ systems to each management suite. Running these plug-ins, system administrators gain complete and centralised control of Aficio™ devices including their installed input and output options.
