Press Release Summary: Over 78% of survey respondents give 'controlling costs' as
the primary reason for using Print Manager Plus

Press Release Body: Clearwater, Florida and London, UK -- Software Shelf
International, Inc recently conducted a survey among its clients worldwide. The
results clearly show that their primary reason for using the product is to control
and so reduce both the direct and indirect running costs of printing within their
organizations, namely: paper, ink (toner), printer maintenance and electricity.

Other reasons given for using Print Manager Plus in the survey were: its advanced
reporting capabilities (it comes with over 130 detailed reports and analysis graphs
that allow you to see who is printing, what they are printing and the cost of that
printing); its ease of use (it is just like a natural extension of the operating
system itself and is completely transparent to the user, needing no additional
hardware); and its positive impact upon the environment. Software Shelf recently
announced that the combined effect of its international educational customer base
alone saves over 100,000 trees a month. In addition, less printing means less
electricity consumed which, in turn, means reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

"What with current economic forecasts, if ever there was a time to improve the
bottom line to aid corporate survival, it is now," says Danny Byrnes, Vice
President, Software Shelf International. "As our survey results show, our clients
have recognized that Print Manager Plus makes a valuable contribution towards the
survival of their organizations. Companies who have not yet embraced the power of
PMP but who are starting to feel the pinch might want to look of this amazing
software solution as a way of securing their own financial stability."

Besides the important printing data that can be obtained, PMP allows Administrators
to fully control printing by being able to implement Quotas and Restrictions on
Users, Groups, Organizational Units, and Printers. The powerful restrictions vary
from color usage, time usage, limiting pages and copies per print job, to scheduling
and implementing printer usage. These controlling limits allow organizations to
actually cut wasteful printing hence saving time, money, and resources.

Two noteworthy comments made by respondents of the survey that so effectively sum up
what Print Manager Plus 2008 is and does were: "Print Manager Plus is a complete
print management solution" and "Print Manager Plus provides functionality that is
lacking in our operating system."
