Recent surveys show that an employer loses 81 minutes of productivity per employee every day caused by web-based applications. The list contains online games, chatting programs and e-mail. The same surveys say that an average employee spends around two hours on this applications.
Thus, a monitoring software could solve the problems. BeAware is such a software for corporate use. BeAware tracks all employees PC activity and gives real time information, records e-mail, chat, internet surfing and programs usage. It also delivers detailed reports, screen shots and alerts on specific keywords.
BeAware helps managers to keep their employees focused on the job. The monitoring business software can be remotely deployed on any networked company computer. It can monitor the personnel from small offices or large enterprises up to 10,000 workers.
The main advantages that occur to me are the real-time reports, the protection for the company ( eg. malicious programs) and the fact it boosts the productivity by eliminating the time-wasting.
BeAware has many other features that will help you to manage different issues like private businesses. It can monitor specific individuals, departments or the whole enterprise. Besides, the software has a feature called Private Time when the managers give permissions to their employees to use e-mail or chat during breaks.
I would say such software is a necessity for a good business. As the matter of fact I have friends that encountered problems with time-wasting at their companies. This software should eradicate this issue.
I'm wondering how the personnel will react. While I agree that many people are distracted by non-business activity (I see all the quarantined jokes, spam and chainmail in our messaging environment), management has always seemed reluctant, at least in every public company I've worked for, to monitor and reprimand non-business use of the PC. The only exception has been with personnel downloading pornographic material, which has been dealt with swiftly.
