Software Shelf releases breakthrough functionality with Print Manager Plus version 5.0.

Software Shelf has announced the release of Print Manager Plus 5.0, a major upgrade of its award winning enterprise print management solution designed to cut and recoup the cost of printing. XP Logo certified by Microsoft, Print Manager Plus is used by thousands of schools, businesses and governments worldwide.

Print Manager Plus allows one to quota and track user and printer usage providing complete cost accounting. Version 5.0 adds control of plotters, an administrative console for centralized service control, date and time scheduling for updating of quotas, individualized printer restrictions and much more. Vitally needed management reports have been expanded and updated with new information and a sharper, cleaner look. Additionally, the new Client Billing Module provides sophisticated account expense tracking that allows print jobs to be assigned, tracked, reported and billed to specific departments, projects or clients.

Bill Feeley, CEO Software Shelf said, "Dataquest has reported the cost of printing (paper, hardware, and ink) is equivalent to 40% of a company's labor cost. HP and Xerox executives have said such costs are equal to 5 to 15% of a company's revenues. Despite their awareness, most corporations still view this cost as unaccountable. This cost is now controlled and reduced effectively by using Print Manager Plus Version 5.0. It installs in seconds on any Windows NT/2000/2003 print server and is so cost-effective it often pays for itself within days."

Print Manager Plus 5.0 is licensed per print server. One license including annual maintenance is $795.00.

Software Shelf began in Silicon Valley in 1994 and later expanded to offices in Clearwater, Florida and the United Kingdom with resellers worldwide.
