HP Web Jetadmin—Better Print Management for over 10 years

There was a lot of great buzz around Edgeline Technology last week, as in my blog on “HP Edgeline Technology—Raising the Bar for HP MFPs”. Amidst all of that (and perhaps lost in the shadow of the big Edgeline announcement (no pun intended)), HP had another important announcement around the introduction of HP Web Jetadmin 10.0 printer fleet management software. With the “Webjet 10” introduction, HP reached an important milestone—the industry’s leading print management tool, is celebrating it’s 10th Anniversary. While you might not have noticed champagne corks popping in the blogosphere—HP Web Jetadmin has come of age as the most important print management tool in the industry.

First, a little background. In November, 1996, HP developed Jetadmin software to manage its first networked printers. Jetadmin really took off when it evolved to become HP Web Jetadmin, a printer fleet management application designed for the web. We created HP Web Jetadmin when web browsers were just becoming pervasive (think Netscape). The following link is to an interesting podcast interview with two of the original engineers on HP Web Jetadmin as they reflect on ten years of development history for this software solution.

As HP has continued to lead the way in fleet management best-practices, HP Web Jetadmin has become the leading print management software with 75% market share among Enterprise and Large businesses that use a printer fleet management solutions. HP Web Jetadmin is downloaded about 290,000 times per month, as it helps companies reduce total cost of ownership and increases end-user productivity. Your IT staff will appreciate the easy access to HP Instant Support and enhanced reports using the Report Generation capabilities.

HP Web Jetadmin provides best-practice proactive fleet management across your spectrum of needs. This includes installation/configuration, problem resolution, proactive management, security, as well as reporting and optimization. The new HP Web Jetadmin 10.0 will also have enhanced ease of use, performance and security capabilities. And Web Jetadmin also has plug-in capability with third party applications, like Capella's MegaTrack job accounting solution, so the software is expandable to meet your unique printer requirements.

As color use becomes more pervasive, HP Web Jetadmin also helps manage color usage by monitoring and managing access to color. In particular, you can control who prints or copies in color, as well as specifying what kind of documents can be printed in color, even what time of day or day of week users can print color. So much for those after-hours soccer team flyers and Christmas cards! By the way did I tell you the best part of this story? It’s free. You pay nothing, nada, zip for the industry’s leading printer fleet management solution.
