What is Macro 4 Columbus OM?

Columbus OM from Macro 4 delivers documents from any application on any platform to any networked printer, managed through a single browser interface. Its emphasis is continuity: when a printer or path fails, jobs reroute automatically to an alternate printer or a digital channel rather than silently stalling, which is the failure mode that halts warehouses and dispatch desks.

Output splitting and bundling combines or divides reports without touching the originating application, and format transformation converts documents for delivery by email or through online self-service portals as well as print. Global synchronisation applies bulk changes across every printer network at once. SAP integration is certified with two-way printer configuration synchronisation, and embedded reporting supports capacity planning and internal billing.
