IRVINE, California, March 18, 2008 – Toshiba America Business Solutions Inc. (TABS) is proud to announce a newly formed strategic alliance with Ringdale, offering the all-in-one secure document output management solution, FollowMe®, to Toshiba's e-STUDIO™ family of products. This partnership provides Toshiba's dealers and customers with one of the most advanced and easy-to-use secure document output management solutions on the market today.
"Businesses are focusing on security and confidentiality now more than ever," said Joseph Contreras, director, Product and Solutions Marketing, TABS. "By teaming up with the industry's foremost authority on secure print management, Toshiba can now offer the highest level of security and confidentiality to our customers without the need to replace their existing printing fleet."
FollowMe is a standards-based roaming, secure printing and accounting solution that provides organizations a complete output security and accountability suite within a single business tool. FollowMe gives companies the ability to restrict access to documents by requiring users to authenticate themselves prior to retrieving their print jobs, keeping sensitive documents out of public view or from being mistakenly taken by non-authorized persons. Users can release sensitive print jobs directly at the output device through the largest range of identification technologies, including biometric fingerprint, proximity card, magnetic swipe card, smart card, PIN codes and barcodes. Additionally, the FollowMe solution allows organizations to allocate or recover costs through its robust accounting and auditing toolset.
"We are very pleased to be working closely with Toshiba in integrating our FollowMe solution into their award-winning family of e-STUDIO products," said Klaus Bollmann, CEO, Ringdale. "FollowMe offers TABS' customers an easily integrated solution that gives them total control over their output by utilizing policies and rules while providing accurate accounting of every printed page."
