SpiderWebTops Solves Three Business Problems, Creates Value for Customers' Clients

08-25-2009

Orlando, FL – Spiderhost, a privately owned IT solutions, managed services, data center, and custom website company based in downtown Lake Mary, Florida has developed the answer to three of business owners most annoying problems – employee web surfing, data theft, and illegal software downloading – and created a way for customers to increase the value they give their clients.

According to a new survey by Ponemon Institute and Symantec Corp., 59% of employees who lost or left a job last year stole confidential company data.  A recent Salary.com and America Online survey concluded that Americans waste more that two hours a day at work, with personal Internet use ranked as the top time-wasting activity.

Spiderhost’s newest offering, SpiderWebTops, easily and affordably stops unauthorized computer activity by replacing local servers, backups, and desktops with hosted versions delivered via compact notebook-sized stations. 

SpiderWebTops prevents security breeches because there’s no physical access to data; employees can’t plug in thumb/USB drives, iPhones, or removable storage devices.  It eliminates employee web surfing by blocking specified Internet sites and outside e-mail services.  And it stops unauthorized software installation by moving hard drives and servers out of the office.

Spiderhost president Dale Frohman notes that “SpiderWebTops completely eliminate the ability to steal, download, or otherwise take data – whether that’s financials, client lists, or bank account information.  Viruses and spyware can’t touch you.  And there’s no equipment or software for anyone to steal.  It’s the perfect solution to three significant problems.”

But Darren Wendroff, Director of Communications for Wendroff & Associates CPA in Orlando, uses SpiderWebTops for its ability to increase value to clients.

“Our CPA firm started using SpiderWebTops to host QuickBooks Desktop on an online system our clients could access from any web connection,” says Wendroff.  “We did this so they wouldn’t be tied down to one desktop connection and could access their information from anywhere they have web access.  This system has made both our firm and clients more efficient, as we can instantly access their accounting information rather than emailing information back and forth.  And it’s given our clients with multiple offices greater functionality because they can access information from any online connection.”

Adds Wendroff, “As an accounting firm focused on efficiency, this system has allowed us to complete projects quicker and with greater accuracy, which has resulted in reducing our clients’ costs.  We highly recommend it to any company looking to improve efficiency.”
