Strategic Net Monitoring released The Box -- a hardware appliance with proprietary software that tracks every website visited by every employee. The Box is a small appliance that plugs directly into a company's network and silently does all the work. While there are similar solutions available most are geared for businesses with more than 50 computer users. The Box is specifically designed for companies with fewer than 100 employees giving a small business the capabilities of a enterprise grade monitoring solution.

With The Box there is no need to install tracking software on every computer in the network, or even on a server. This means no software updates, no keeping up with CD's, no system requirements, and no user tampering.

The Box offers every answer to monitoring the internet among a full staff of employees. With web based reports provided to the client from our secure server, one can observe non-business related internet browsing and then take action to minimize or eliminate it. What has become popularly known as "cyber slacking" no longer has to remain a costly inefficiency that happens every day in the office.

"We have listened to our prospects, many of the small businesses we have spoken with do not want a product that completely blocks internet websites" said Keith Essary, owner of Strategic Computer Solutions. The Box is not an internet filter; it's an internet monitoring appliance. Internet monitoring puts control of internet usage in the hands of managers or principals as opposed to relying strictly on a software program to manage personnel. Strategic Net Monitoring allows key people to review selected employee's internet browsing and determine if action needs to be taken or not as needed.

The Box is a hardware network appliance that plugs directly into a client's network as if it were another computer on the network. There is no software to install on your computers. The Box monitors all internet traffic from the network level. For these reasons The Box will monitor traffic from only the computers the client chooses to be monitored regardless of the computers operating system. It will even monitor servers if you opt for it to do so
