The Internet is one of the most powerful tools in business today. It also has the potential to be one of the most costly, especially when employees are using your time and bandwith to surf non work-related sites!
Business Watchdog helps you control the Internet access in your workplace, cutting your costs and maximising safety.

- Minimal cost as Internet access is included.
The problem - a lack of controlYour business has to be online to be on to it, but being online has its own hidden costs. Easily accessible distractions like pornography, sports sites and cyber shopping threaten to make the internet more dangerous than your competition.
Studies have shown that over 60% of hits to some 60,000 X-rated pornography sites are registered during business hours.
In a work environment sensitive to sexual harassment, an uncontrolled connection presents some serious legal issues.
Add to this the hidden costs associated with lost productivity and you begin to get a feel for the potential downside of the internet.
Even your network can suffer - slowed to a crawl by your employees' Internet activities.
The solutionBusiness Watchdog gets the worst out of the Internet. It provides safe, efficient Internet access by blocking all unsuitable material while still allowing unlimited access to other sites. Because the material is blocked at Watchdog (the ISP), there is no special software or training required at your company.
Business Watchdog matches web sites by their direct address (or URL) avoiding the limitations of 'keyword' technology.
Watchdog has over 250,000 sites in its blocking library, and they're updated daily.
Watchdog's unique technology delivers a blocking effectiveness in excess of 99.9% without limiting performance, so users enjoy maximum benefit from their Internet connection.
Watchdog's high-speed fibre backbones to its telecommunication providers ensures that growth can be easily accommodated.
