PURPOSE
Boss Everyware assembles data about computer usage
and user work time: which software the users/employees
are using and when and how long the users have interacted
with each software/window/Web-page. The data is recorded
appropriately formatted such that it can be imported easily
by a database management system or by a spreadsheet application.
The 50K hidden program reports user's actions into
a text or encrypted file. Report files can be easily
imported by MS Excel or a DB-management system or
viewed and handled by a supplied utility.
It is possible to integrate reports from several
LAN-stations into one report file at run-time.
╖ Very user friendly. Only one configuration panel
which is easy to use.
╖ Doesn't affect the normal functioning of the system.
╖ No additional DLLs required. No system updates needed.
WHO NEEDS IT?
Boss Everyware lets EMPLOYERS observe and record how their
Employees really "interact" with their computers.
"Interacting" is defined as: "what the user was really
doing at any particular time and not which programs he/she
had started that morning and kept on in the background while
playing Solitaire all day."
It is also useful for PARENTS who want to control how their
Children are interacting with the family computer (e.g.,
computer games, learning software, Bart SimpsonÆs Web Site
or DadÆs on-line banking service).
Boss Everyware can also be useful for SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS who
can now track user actions which may have caused a system failure.
Furthermore, it could help SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS find
which parts of their projects are the most time consuming.
