Enhance Workplace Morale
Limiting or denying employees’ Internet access can create employee resentment, hostility and even reduce productivity further by complicating and delaying the accomplishment of Internet related tasks. A certain amount of (monitored) online recreation can enhance many workplaces and ultimately make employees more productive.
Reduce Software, Hardware & Administration Costs
Vantage imports and analyzes different types of log files (see full list), while most competing log file analyzers are hard-coded to analyze a particular log file type. Achieving all reporting requirements, using only one application, means spending less on software maintenance, hardware and administration.
Additional Benefits
Securely Distribute Information & Responsibility
- Securely distribute sensitive reports to managers via a web interface, showing the activity of their direct subordinates.
- Share the responsibility of enforcing acceptable usage across your organization.
Drive Responsible Behavior
- Enable employees to conduct their own ad-hoc analyses to view their productive and non-productive activity.
- Employees who understand the organizational costs of their personal unproductive activities are more likely to modify their own behavior.
Provide Full Disclosure & Increase Acceptance
- Provide employees with full disclosure regarding the information recorded about them.
Self Serve, On-Demand Investigation
- Distribute original data storages to any of your employees, enabling them to conduct their own ad-hoc investigations. For example, distribute storages to security managers enabling them to investigate the activity of a specific employee with access to confidential and sensitive information.
