Internet Search Software to Optimize Your Business Network

Use Internet search software to maximize your employees' productivity and efficiency while keeping your network and company devices safe. Some software options make it simple to block websites and content on business computers, while a website summarizer further increases productivity by summarizing the content on web pages or documents. Security programs provide protection against viruses to all your devices, and many also offer theft protection for mobile devices.

Filter Internet Content

With software such as IM Lock, you can choose the websites, programs and chat programs that your business computers are able to access, ensuring that those computers are only used for business-related tasks and that employees don't get distracted. If you want to allow employees more browsing freedom during certain time periods, such as breaks and lunches, use the software's scheduling feature to set specific times and filtering preferences. This software generally installs quickly and is simple to set up, so you can get it up and running on all your computer workstations right away. Choose the software package that fits the size of your business from the numerous available options.

Reduce Time Spent Reading Content

One effective way to help employees work more efficiently is by using software such as Copernic Summarizer to trim down Web page or document content to the key points, so employees have that information immediately available instead of having to read the entire text to find it. The software uses algorithms that determine a text's most important concepts and the sentences that relate to those concepts, then it uses that information to create a shorter version of the text. The program is also useful for creating or modifying company memos and training documents, and you can print, email or save summaries in multiple file formats. A lengthy document may lead employees or clients to skim through the text and miss something, but condensing that document down to the most important points helps readers retain that information, along with saving printing paper.

Keep Company Devices Safe From Any Threats

Even if you monitor and filter all the content on your company devices, they're still vulnerable to viruses and, for mobile devices, theft. Set up a multi-device security program to customize all company devices with the protection they need, without impairing performance. A security program keeps you up to date on all that goes on with your devices by automatically scanning all files and web pages and immediately sending you information on potential threats. An added benefit for mobile devices, including smart phones and tablets, is the ability to track missing devices via GPS, lock devices remotely to prevent unauthorized access and erase all the content on a device if it can't be recovered.
