OFFICE PRODUCTIVITY DOWN DUE TO COMPUTER MISUSE, VENDOR OFFERS SOLUTION
A spokesman for a computer vendor, Comvigo, Inc., an internet security company, states that most US businesses experience significant hidden waste through the very computers that enhance their office productivity.
James Tanner, account manager for Comvigo, points to a survey conducted by Salary.com and America Online Survey. "Americans waste more than two hours a day at work, costing companies $759 billion dollars a year. According to that survey, almost half of that wasted time was spent online. A small business with ten employees averaging twenty dollars an hour can lose about $1000 dollars a week, and $52,000 a year", according to Tanner.
Tanner also points to "wasted time, money and productivity coping with computer viruses, bugs and “malware” that employees bring into the business from internet chatting, exchanging files online, or browsing the web."
Tanner goes on to say that that Comvigo has a new product, called IMLock Professional, which mitigates and controls all of these risks and areas of waste.
According to Tanner: "IMLock Professional is quickly and easily installed directly onto your business’s computer workstations to effectively block and control the most widely used instant messaging programs. You can also block popular peer-to-peer file sharing programs, and individual web sites. A simple password that you set gives you the ability to block access to chat, web sites and file sharing all of the time, or according to a schedule of your choosing."
Tanner claims that IMLock Professional does not compete with or replace existing security measures such as Internet firewalls and anti-virus measures. Tanner describes IMLock Professional as complementing these other technologies: "firewalls and anti-virus programs alone can’t stop a persistent user who wants to chat, trade files, or visit disallowed web sites. Only IMLock can stop this waste and risk at the source – the user’s computer."
A spokesman for Comvigo says that IMLock Professional runs on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 computers. Licenses for business use start at $39.00 US. A free trial of IMLock Professional is available online at http://www.comvigo.com/ and the product is available for sale online at this site.
