Atlanta, GA -- T/R SYSTEMS, INC. a leader in developing innovative solutions for the management and production of digital communications, advanced its position in the document technologies industry and established its presence in the distributed output management market today with its first U.S. showing of M@estro in various strategic partners' booths at the Xplor trade show and conference. M@estro is the Company's product for intelligent document distribution, workflow and device management across the enterprise. "T/R Systems has a history of delivering innovative products to help customers overcome very difficult business challenges -- M@estro continues this tradition by providing unique functional and technological benefits to enterprises seeking to manage their escalating distributed output requirements," said Mike Kohlsdorf, President and CEO of T/R Systems. "M@estro provides workflow efficiencies and streamlines an enterprise's ability to use and monitor its document publishing capabilities through a single software application. Our expectation is for M@estro to become a recognized leader in its market as T/R Systems' other products have become recognized leaders in their respective markets." According to Jim Lundy a research director of GartnerGroup, "Distributed output management technologies will eventually replace print servers." This shift from a "print-and-distribute" to a "distribute-and-print" workflow makes it imperative for enterprises to produce documents in the manner, location and at the time that the reader wants the documents. Rather than printing hard copy and then distributing via traditional methods, it is becoming more common for a document to be distributed to multiple locations for printing, e-mailed to certain individuals and stored in document repositories for archival purposes. Before M@estro, there was no efficient way for a company to accomplish all of this distribution simultaneously through a single application. Through M@estro, IS managers can quickly and easily establish rules and procedures that are intelligently applied to documents for distribution to multiple destinations throughout an enterprise. Currently, M@estro can manage up to 254 total destinations or devices throughout an enterprise. M@estro extends this management capability by providing robust workflow controls that allow IS managers to integrate M@estro with third party billing and authorization solutions, to implement job ticketing and submission functionality as well as to use a rich set of document controls including previewing, personalization, imposition and document merging and editing. These controls can be applied automatically to jobs based on pre-set criteria or they can be applied manually. IS managers can also benefit from the device management features inherent in M@estro. M@estro provides IS managers a single location from which they can monitor and manage most networked printers throughout the enterprise. By using M@estro, IS managers can quickly and easily determine if a printer is currently being used, being overused or not being used, whether it is low on supplies (before even sending a job to print), or whether it is in need of service. M@estro also has the ability to notify appropriate personnel (inside or outside of the enterprise) of a print device's status based on a certain criteria, freeing an administrator to work on other mission critical assignments.
