10 Solutions from AKI

1. Cut costs?

No overview of the location and volume of the costs incurred by print management?
AKI solution: Cost-savings with optimised printer utilisation and location selection. Cost perpetrators can be identified and eliminated with reliable analytical tools.

2. 60 SAP systems under one roof?

Administration of multiple systems with just one tool? Despite non-standardised configurations?
AKI solution: Our tool administers all SAP servers. Single point of administration.

3. Managing 180,000 print jobs every day?

How can you keep an eye on everything?
AKI solution: Intelligent search tools and filters for working with those print jobs that are really of interest.

4. The printer won't print!

You're familiar with the situation: The user is interrupted in his work, triggers print jobs several times over, causes other problems and unnecessary printouts.
AKI solution: The help desk can immediately identify and solve the problem from a central workstation, e.g. with preconfigured fallback printers.

5. What does Mr Smith's appendix cost?

Are confidential documents left lying forgotten in the output tray of a printer in a hospital or at a doctor's surgery?
AKI solution: Our secure print function: Documents are not printed until the user has entered the appropriate authentication at the printer.

6. What about Unix?

Are completely different and complicated tools necessary for spooler management?
AKI solution: A standardised print management system for all conventional Unix platforms. With the same look-and-feel as Windows print servers.

7. Do print costs rise after the holidays?

Any employee can make cost-intensive printouts (colour prints, photographs).
AKI solution: Print quotas definitively regulate who is allowed to print how many pages at which printer.

8. 5,000 printers - new drivers?

Do new printer drivers have to be installed on large numbers of print servers and automatically kept up to date?
AKI solution: Compatibility checks for printer drivers. Automatic and scheduled distribution and installation of the verified drivers on the print servers.

9. SAP print job sent - and then?

Without a print management system SAP users do not get any feedback at all. Has the document been printed or not? Should I print it again?
AKI solution: Printers actively report when documents have been successfully printed via the AKI software in the SAP system.

10. And training for the employees?

Does training incur excessively high extra costs?
AKI solution: Our software is based on the look-and-feel of Microsoft products, which accelerates familiarisation and minimises the need for training. Training sessions are individually adapted to the requirements of the customer's network and are conducted on his premises.
