Automated Task Management
to Simplify Your Day

Imagine the drain on productivity if IT personnel had to modify individual device address books
each time an employee joined, transferred, or left the company. Or if they had to physically
travel to a new device to install it on the network. That’s why imageWARE Enterprise Management
Console offers advanced automated task management capabilities. A task is a set of instructions
created by an IT administrator that is to be executed immediately or at timed intervals if it re-
lates to a function requiring regular updating. Some of the ways in which imageWARE Enterprise
Management Console can improve your productivity include the following:

Discovery of New Devices

Through SNMP, query all Canon and third-party networked devices and automatically add new
ones to the database for initial setup and configuration.

Delivery of Device Settings

Retrieve device settings, such as IP addresses, locations, and system manager contact informa-
tion, and reset them to their default conditions as often as necessary to minimize calls of network
printer problems.

Address Book Updates

Replicate and import address book data from a reference machine to all installed devices that
support Canon’s Device Information Delivery Settings mode to ensure each device contains iden-
tical, up-to-date address book data.

Furthermore, administrators have complete control over the initiation of any task. Execute device
information retrieval and delivery overnight or on the weekends to minimize disruption during
business hours.

Large corporate enterprises are just that—
large. For Fortune 500 organizations and
entities with global reach, it’s impossible
to be in all places at once.

Scalability. Reliability.
Real-Time Communications.
Productivity. Network Efficiency.
