You can yammer all you want about various Managed Print Services solutions, but Doc knows that one software product, Print Audit 6, is the workhorse of the industry. And sometime in July, Print Audit hit the 1 million installed copies milestone. The millionth seat of Print Audit 6 was sold by Doug Miller, Global Account Manager with Ricoh Americas Corporation to a large engineering company in the United States.

The growth of Print Audit in the last decade has enabled it to expand from a basement start-up business to an industry leader with offices on 6 continents. Since 1999, Print Audit customers have saved over 2 million trees - enough trees to fill Central Park over 80 times. Every year, over half a billion print jobs are redirected to higher efficiency devices, saving money for the organization and reducing effects on the environment.
Doc applauds Print Audit on this accomplishment and can’t help but wonder what Central Park would be like with 2 million additional trees.

Doc
ZDNet introduces Doc (The DocuMentor), sponsored by RICOH. Through his blog, Doc will educate you about Document Management. So who is Doc? Doc is something of an enigma. He was born to a Russian ballerina and a German electrical engineer who some believe was running covert operations for shadowy corporate interests. Doc grew up in various locations in the United States, although no one seems to know precisely where, least of all Doc. His early schooling was unremarkable except for the time he was caught trying to replace all the mimeograph machines with high-tech color copiers that had mysteriously disappeared from a shipment to Albania. At MIT, he made a name for himself by transforming a large printer into a robot that hunts and eats Roombas. Professionally, he reportedly has seen the insides of more brands, versions, and generations of printer and printer-related hardware than almost anyone. Some say his obsession with paper, printing, and mechanical movement was either started by, or evidenced by, a traumatic childhood episode when he crawled inside an old Xerox 2400 and tried to print himself.
Anyway, Doc has hands on experience with stuff like printer maintenance and fleet management, but his mastery of document management leaves no stone unturned. Important issues like sustainability, security, and regulatory compliance are top of mind for Doc, as are other business technology needs like networking and IT services, making him a true blue IT renaissance man.
The discussion hasn’t started yet. Why don’t you begin it?
