The Internet and Email are essential tools these days, not just for business, but for everyday life.
"The Internet has transformed the way we communicate with each other, email being just one small facet of this change, so we ourselves must evolve and learn to embrace these exciting new technologies."
In many organisations, access to the Internet was initially limited to a few people in the IT or marketing groups. Today, with a PC on every desk, many employees find themselves with access to the Internet and email but with little understanding of either the potential problems or the real benefits which this can bring. Organisations are therefore having to introduce ‘acceptable use’ policies.
Here's how we can help:
The purpose of implementing Internet and email policies is to ensure that employees understand the way in which it should be used. This enables both employees and the organisation to gain the maximum value from the Internet, alerts them to the dangers that can arise to the organisation if the technology is misused (which may put the organisation at technical or commercial risk) and informs everyone of the consequences of misuse by employees (ie disciplinary action). The content of such policies will, therefore, depend on the needs of the organisation and the expectations and requirements of its personnel. Before producing an Internet policy, an organisation must have developed an agreed strategy for using the Internet. Listed below are the services we can provide for your company:
