Web Access Management
Countless Internet-based distractions now compete for employee time. Non-work related activities including online games, Internet shopping, stock trading, Internet radio, streaming media and MP3 downloads represent the new temptations in the workplace. We offer a comprehensive, cost-effective solution: Web Access Management (WAM).
WAM manages harmful and unnecessary Web and e-mail content according to your company's policies. Your company is exposed to these four threats every time a team member connects to the Internet:
- Productivity Threats: Just 20 minutes of recreational surfing a day can cost a company with 30 employees over $1000 per week (At $25/hr/employee)
- Legal Threats: Employees can sue if you don't provide a work environment free of gender and minority harassment. This means taking reasonable care to block offensive Internet content.
- Network Threats: An employee can crash your network just by logging into the wrong website. Other activity like recreational surfing and downloading MP3 files can divert valuable bandwidth from critical business needs.
- Security Threats: Viruses enter networks through a variety of sources, such as web-based email, Instant Messenger file transfer, email attachments or through other files directly downloaded from a website.
BellSolutions.net uses award-winning products and proven management techniques to deliver policy based, cost effective Web Access Management solutions. Our solutions address all of the methods your team uses to connect to the Internet:
