The Problem

• Workplace distractions for employees using a PC

• Poor accountability for computer time at the office

• Decreasing productivity of “knowledge workers”

• Low efficiency in delivering tasks


The Problem


Equilibrium

15%

People who do surf the Internet for fun at work — within a reasonable limit of less than 20% of their total time in the office — are more productive by about 9% than those who don't.

The TimeOP Solution

• Measures time and involvement spent on applications (including web apps, pages)

• Classifies as productive / distracting

• Real time, non-intrusive, web compliant

• Integrates team and project management
