Equitrac Print Tracking 4 Helps Legal Firms Discover and Recover Document Costs; Solution Leverages Existing Investment to Track Local and Networked Prints, Effectively Managing Devices and Workflow.

PHILADELPHIA -- Equitrac Corporation, the most trusted name in cost recovery solutions for the legal market, today introduced Equitrac Print Tracking 4, a critical component of a comprehensive Equitrac solution suite enabling users to increase cost recovery rates and hold down costs of document output, in color or black-and-white, from any device in the legal workplace.

Unveiled at the "AIIM On Demand" Conference and Exposition at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, Equitrac Print Tracking 4 enables new and existing Equitrac customers to quickly and accurately discover and recover costs of digital document output from any standalone desktop printer or networked digital multifunction device anywhere in the legal firm.

In an era of sharply rising document output costs and increased migration from copying to digital document printing, Equitrac Print Tracking 4 helps law offices to improve document cost recovery rates and convert document output costs into increased revenue streams. With a growing number of firms charging for print tracking, Equitrac Print Tracking 4 provides the automated tools for application of matter centric billing policies in order to help maximize document cost recovery.

Further enhancing cost efficiencies in the legal workplace, Equitrac Print Tracking 4 helps to drive down document production costs by providing management tools to control workflow and more effectively manage device utilization. Equitrac Print Tracking 4 also can remove barriers to the use of color in document output by providing device management reporting capabilities that allow responsible and cost-effective use of color by law office staff and attorneys.

"The typical AMLAW 200 firm loses more than $1.5 million per year in unrecovered costs, because three out of four law firms that recover for copier costs aren't doing the same with their digital document output costs," said Michael Rich, CEO, Equitrac Corporation. "Equitrac Print Tracking lets law offices improve their document cost recovery by capturing and reporting print output costs in ways not possible before."

Equitrac Print Tracking 4 also helps law firms cope with the complexities of compliance with the privacy needs of their clients, including the impact of regulatory frameworks. By routing print jobs through a secure server for authentication before being released at the printer, Equitrac Print Tracking 4 provides a secure and reliable means of meeting the requirements of both clients and regulatory agencies.

"To protect privileged and confidential client information, law office staff can avoid the 25-yard dash to the printer, knowing that Equitrac Print Tracking 4 helps keep client confidentiality intact," Mr. Rich said.

Available in June 2005, demonstrations and more information on Equitrac Print Tracking 4 can be seen by professional and legal office administrators and managers at the Equitrac booth #1356, at the "AIIM On Demand" Conference and Exposition, May 17-21, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia, PA.
