Enterprise print management
As more and more business processes become digital dependent, gaining competitive advantage by better management of print workflow becomes not just an option, but a necessity.
Print devices are often the most shared resources in an organisation, so efficiency gains and cost savings can be considerable - but the issues of streamlining printing across networks and within CRDs and data-centres are complex and not only technical.
ATI have the experience and software tools to deliver solutions which optimise the efficiency of such print workflow. The result is greater productivity, better control of costs, higher standards of output and improved return on investment across all departments.
ATI software controls the workflow
The prime modules of the ATI suite of software provide an integrated print workflow control and job management system for the whole enterprise.
doc-Q-manager - the core product module provides simple but powerful print queue management, readily sitting in both the data-centre and the CRD, whether it is to manage variable data business application print jobs from corporate host systems, or support the functions of the reprographics department.

doc-Q-route - based on the same architecture, but a different and distinct product in its own right, complements doc-Q-manager within the enterprise. It sits out on the network print server(s) separate to doc-Q-manager to monitor and police print job activity. Configured by the administrator, it provide rules based print routing and control over all departmental local and network printing. Combined with doc-Q-ticket it provides the source control for feeding appropriate jobs to the doc-Q-manager server within the CRD.

doc-Q-ticket - provides efficient transfer of users' print jobs across the network to the CRD with electronic job ticket instructions defining processing and finishing requirements. When operated along with doc-Q-route it forms the link to optimise the use of the organisation's CRD and the return on such investment.
