Company Description:

StaffCop allows us to efficiently monitor our employees' activities during their work time: monitor in real time (acquire screenshots, list of currently running applications and open web sites) and generate miscellaneous reports for any particular time span. Its performance control system consists of the two parts technically referred to as client and agent . The Agent is installed on the employee's workstation to gather and transmit information on how that computer is used. The Client is installed on the system administrator's workstation. It lets the administrator manage the system, add unlimited number of Agents, monitor remote computers, and collect information from them. Thus, the job comes down to installing the agents on the computers that need to be monitored (remote installation is available) and installing the client on the workstation of the person in charge of monitoring them.
