About FollowMe
A printer-agnostic secure print management solution that enables centralized control, document security, and cost tracking across office and mobile printing environments.
FollowMe by Ringdale is a mature, printer-agnostic secure print management solution designed for large enterprises and government organizations. It focuses on document security, regulatory compliance, and cost control by centralizing the management of printing, copying, and scanning across diverse hardware fleets. The platform's core strength lies in its ability to provide a standardized security posture regardless of the printer manufacturer, making it highly adaptable for complex, multi-site environments. Key capabilities include secure pull-printing, where users must authenticate at the device to release jobs, and robust auditing tools that help organizations meet standards like HIPAA, GDPR, and SOX. While the software is powerful, it is primarily targeted at large-scale deployments where centralized administration is critical. Ringdale also offers consultancy services to help organizations map out their document workflows and optimize their print infrastructure. Buyers should note that while the solution is highly configurable, it is an enterprise-grade tool that typically requires a discovery process with Ringdale experts to implement effectively.
