The
fusion of computer and communications technology is just bringing a radical
structural transformation to the business society. The dimensions of this
revolution are so vast that none can easily discern. The emergence of
a new networked computerized workplace will finally fulfill the mission of
information integration where the weaving together of all the computers
enables every authorized employee in a company to exploit fully the
resources scattered all over the information environment. TupView
2.2, the latest product developed by the Tup Software Ltd., is intended to
provide a topview for a small & medium business owner/executive who is in
need gaining real-time insight/control over the every detailed activity on a PC
host over the whole LAN. This is an essential step forward in the process of
evolving a business into an organic living entity, since it abolishes space
and time, making everywhere here and anytime now, for the executive (brain)
to make day-to-day decisions based on the information fed by every PC host
(neuron) in real time manner, with direct and remote software and hardware
management over the whole organization.
TupView
2.2 logs every meaningful action performed on a PC host to enforce
acceptable-use computing and record keeping; it generates statistical reports on
software and hardware uses to give a quick glance into overall resource
effectiveness and employees’ work habits; it is able to record, track, and play
back continuously the screen activities appearing on a specific PC host for
appropriate investigative operation; it restricts installation and use of
computer applications and peripherals for the purposes of software compliance
and data protection and security; and it automatically acquires the system
information (both software and hardware) of PC hosts over the whole LAN for
better management of information technology
environment.
More
specifically, the main functions of TupView 2.2 can be summarized as
follows:
1)
Logging activities on a PC host in
real time, so you can know what the employee is doing right
now.
2)
Taking a snapshot of an active
screen for further information and investigation.
3)
Tracking down and recording
continuously the screen activities at a preset time interval (default 3 seconds
and 4 PC hosts simultaneously).
4)
Recording the use of applications
such as time opened and closed and the total running period, and giving
statistical analysis on how effectively the application is
used.
5)
Logging window switch events so as
to calculate the active time spent on an
application.
6)
Recording printing events including
the user, time, file name, and total pages.
7)
Logging in detail how a file and its
content are modified by an employee.
8)
Logging software and hardware
changes such as when an application is deleted or a device removed, and listing
the software and hardware installation details on a
computer.
9)
Regulating and restricting the use
of applications with a preset blocking list, and enforcing through application
identification, effectively preventing bypass via renaming or application
modification.
10)
Limiting the use of some hardware
devices such as removable storages and CD drives for data
protection.
