Employee Internet Monitoring & Web Filtering Software Solutions

With so much pressure on time and cost constraints, monitoring employee activity has become an absolute necessity for organizations big and small. Add the technological realities that define the modern day employee - the Internet, e-mails, IM and mobile phones – and it becomes legally important to keep track of the time employees spend working versus time spent on nonproductive or unauthorized activities.

According to a new federal law, employers not only have a right to monitor the activities of employees but have a responsibility as well. In December of 2006, the “Electronic Discovery Act” went into effect mandating that all companies maintain a record of any form of electronic communication their employee's generate using instant messages, e-mails, and other forms of electronic communications. According to the e-discovery act, companies and other parties involved in federal litigation must now produce electronically stored information as part of discovery, the process by which both sides share evidence before a trial. The new rules make it more important for companies to know what electronic information they have and where, especially because of a provision that requires lawyers to provide information much earlier in a lawsuit than before.
