Productivity and Security: Do you know what your company's computers are really being used for?

When you see your employees on the Internet are they working or are they playing? IDC Research reports that 30 to 40% of all Internet use in the workplace is not related to business. Can you succeed losing that much productivity? During the Victoria's Secret online fashion show, corporate America lost more than $120 million in productivity in just 44-minutes, according to Websense. The Saratoga Institute found that more than 60 percent of companies have disciplined - and more than 30 percent have terminated - employees for inappropriate use of the Internet. Accessing pornography, instant messaging, media, gaming, investing or shopping at work are the leading causes for disciplinary action or termination.

Casual Internet use may eat away at your bottom line and it can lead to much worse. Inappropriate content may not only disrupt the entire organization, but may result in costly legal fees. Is there a program that allows you to draw the line where potentially devastating abuse may originate, the corporate desktop itself? more

The new ActivatorDesk™ decisively pre-empts productivity loss by preventing most abuse from ever beginning. As a frontline shield, you may employ ActivatorDesk to 'lock down' your corporate desktops, narrowing the focus and extent of Internet and program usage. ActivatorDesk allows you to ensure your desktops are utilized as the productivity tools they ought to be. more

Most competitors use 'black-lists' or 'bad sites lists'. But they don't work, because there's no effective way to find all the bad sites that need to be blacklisted. Is there a 100% safe and productive solution? ActivatorDesk is the first desktop tool with a comprehensive, viewable Internet 'white-list' of links to only useful and productive sites. You may instantly restrict visits to only websites on this list or easily install your own safe links and allow visits to only those. You set the times at which different levels or types of Internet access are available. You control what your employees use. You may also deploy ActivatorDesk's web page keyword filtering, for a less restrictive Internet policy. more

Instant Messaging, MP3 and other media entertainment programs may not only be stealing productivity but also your expensive bandwidth. ActivatorDesk allows you to simply designate which programs will operate for each person during the time periods you specify. You set the priorities. If you haven't explicitly authorized a program, it won't run and can't be loaded.
