The T.Rex Content Filter List is a fee based subscription service. These lists are updated during the week.

Managed Employee Access for the WWW

Extensive use of the Internet by employees is a double edged sword. Web browsing provides easy access to incredible amounts of useful information that increases the value of employees. It also provides the same easy access to information that is counter productive and inappropriate for the workplace. The T.Rex Content Filter provides effective management controls that implement and enforce the organizations policies for Web usage.

When users are given unrestricted access to the Web up to 60% of employees spend more than 20 minutes per day surfing web sites that are completely unrelated to their jobs. This includes sites that contain pornography, sports information, gambling, travel, job hunting, dating and many other diversions. The T.Rex Filter automatically manages employee Web access reducing the administration time required to provide and control this function. By eliminating the downloading of undesired information it preserves bandwidth of the Internet connection. This reduces queuing delays providing tangible increases in user productivity. Web data is automatically cached providing "local access" for subsequent accesses further improving web responsiveness. Blocking of undesirable information reduces legal exposures to the organization.

The T.Rex Content Filter Lists provide high quality comprehensive URL blocking with dozens of predefined categories. The lists are easily customized. Categories can be selected with the click of the mouse. The format of the lists is published allowing local customization including the editing of existing lists and the creation of new categories.

The T.Rex software is based on pioneering filtering technology that has been in production on a world wide basis for more than 5 years. During this time the filtering list has undergone extensive expansion, and now can block millions of undesirable URLS.
