Equitrac Corporation, the leader in intelligent cost recovery and print management solutions worldwide, today announced the availability of Equitrac Professional 5.2.2, the latest release of its award-winning Equitrac Professional print management and cost recovery solution for legal and professional firms.

In addition to Equitrac Professional’s popular software tracking of copied, faxed, and printed documents, the newest EP 5.2.2 version includes TouchPoint Document Capture, offering personalized, easy to use document scanning with full image preview capabilities at the Equitrac TouchPoint Console. Utilizing and tracking the scanning features of multifunction products (MFPs) has never been easier with Equitrac TouchPoint Document Capture’s scan to folder, email and Scan-to-Me simplicity. Optional integration with Omtool AccuRoute provides personalized access to the rich features of AccuRoute including direct scan to Document Management Solutions from any Equitrac TouchPoint Console equipped MFP.

Equitrac Professional 5.2.2 also supports the use of existing facility access cards for automated identification and authorization of user access at any Equitrac TouchPoint controlled multi-function device making cost recovery and device management easier than ever. This next generation Equitrac solution also provides enhanced embedded support for the most advanced multi-function products from all major manufacturers, including Canon, HP, and Ricoh.

“Equitrac Professional 5 brings to the legal and professional office environment the latest innovations from Equitrac’s extensive research and development operations, providing easy to use document capture and tracking capabilities and IT administration tools that help to maximize printer fleet management and recover costs,” said Michael Rich, CEO, Equitrac Corporation. “Our latest Equitrac solution for the law office environment melds Equitrac’s award-winning print tracking and cost recovery software with the most advanced embedded software capabilities available on the latest multi-function products from our manufacturer partners.”

Leveraging the functions of embedded terminals available in today’s advanced MFPs, Equitrac Professional 5.2.2 provides an enriched end-user experience, with personalized Search, History and Favorites options at the user-friendly touch screen interface of the MFP, making it easy for users to capture, allocate and recover the cost of any document activity – anywhere in the legal or professional firm.

The MFP integration also delivers a number of key security features, including a full audit trail to help meet regulatory requirements and Follow- You(TM) printing, with Secure Document Release, allowing an individual to submit a print job to a queue and then print that document from any device. Follow-You printing also improves security by ensuring that jobs are not left waiting in the output tray for unintended viewing and reduces the significant waste associated with unclaimed print jobs.
