Re: PCS Director Embedded Receives Certification with Latest Ricoh Multifunction Devices
I have a few PCS Director installs but have never installed Print Audit. Is there anything different than the two products aside from branding?

Re: PCS Director Embedded Receives Certification with Latest Ricoh Multifunction Devices
Hi Txeagle24, Technically Identical, Print Audit builds the PCS Director software for Ricoh, Ricoh then Supports and markets the PCS Director product as their own. If you have current customers on PCSD you should have them update to the latest version, there are a number of enhancements to the embedded they may appreciate.

Re: PCS Director Embedded Receives Certification with Latest Ricoh Multifunction Devices
We became a Premier Partner with Print Audit so naturally, our orders now go through them. The main differences have more to do with timing of upgrades. For instance, we have had Print Audit Secure for quite awhile but PCS Director still doesn't have it I don't think. Also, I think you'll find that you can't "sell" the PA6 software if you are a RFG Dealer. All that having been said, all the things that people care about functionally, are the same.

Old Glory, Secure is now available through Ricoh. This latest version of PCSD now offers Secure Embedded, and the ability to process multiple jobs within a log in. The application works on all devices from Java 11 and older, except for devices with the 4.3" screen which Print Audit is currently developing.
