SurfControl, the world`s number one Web and e-mail filtering company, announced SurfControl Web Filter was honoured as a "2003 Product You Love" by readers of Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine.
Readers of Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine reviewed hundreds of products in nearly three-dozen categories before selecting the best products of 2003. SurfControl Web Filter was the winner in the "Monitor Employee Web Usage" category and was recognised for its advanced reporting capabilities, use of neural network technology to classify URL content and ability to block Web traffic based on easily customisable rules.
"The title of the award is a little misleading," says Craig Copeland, director for local distributor, Networks Unlimited, "as IT managers and others are coming to realise that having access to tools to assist them in managing employee Web usage is no longer a nice-to-have but a necessity in their efforts to curb lost productivity and bandwidth through Internet access. Having worked with SurfControl over the past five years, the award comes as no surprise, and we have also noticed an increased interest in the implementation of such technology within companies in SA, which led to a 45% increase in sales during the 2003 period."
"We are thrilled that Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine readers acknowledged SurfControl Web Filter as one of the best products of the year," said Steve Purdham, CEO of SurfControl. "With SurfControl Web Filter, we are proud to deliver the industry`s leading content management tool to help enterprises stop unwanted content and manage all of the risks that go along with daily Internet use."
SurfControl Web Filter provides the most flexible and powerful tool for managing Internet access within the enterprise.
