Kutana’s Kappris expands into the States and their thoughts are picked up by the ILTA publication
The success
of Kappris as a tool to manage print processes in the legal sector in the UK
has led to a release in the United States.
Law firms in the US will now be able to utilise this innovative software
to create and administer effective print management across the firm. Based in Texas and California, Cooper and
Scully P. C. have introduced the Kappris to
ensure effective print process throughout the firm.
An article has recently been published by the International
Legal Technology Association (ILTA), a leading international IT legal event’s
organiser. The article details the innovations
of Kappris that lead to:
-
Increasing efficiency
-
Improving communication between
devices and computers
-
Modelling a users print behaviour that
reduces costs
-
Improved environmental behaviour and
compliance with environmental legislation
-
Fewer pages printed
-
Optimised toner usage for different
document types
It demonstrates the growing influence and importance of print
management software in the legal sector to make real changes in print policy
and behaviour. In addition it explains
how print manufacturers talk about print reduction while, in reality, they
obviously want users to print more. That’s like turkeys voting for Christmas. If
you want to increase efficiency and save money, seek out a niche vendor that
can identify new and innovative ways to realise these aims.
The article explores how to marry print cost and convenience
through introducing “modelling the behaviours you wish your users to display“
rather than introducing hard and fast rules. This will actually increase the
possibilities and options of the users, rather than restricting them. This is done by redirecting print jobs and
enforcing or suggesting rules that will modify print behaviour without the need
for extensive and radical changes to be made to the way users work.
Importantly Kappris ensures that communication between print
devices and computer applications is smooth, efficient and effective. Utilising print options between the device
and application introduces productive changes to print that can help give firms
key gains in print reduction and control.

The success of Kappris as a way to administer and manage
print processes in the UK has resulted in it being utilised by a leading US law
firm and as a result is now being resold by a US legal IT vendor. With this
coverage Kutana’s Kappris can look forward to becoming a cornerstone of Law firms’ print
management planning.
