Case Study: Shady Maple achieves increased productivity and faster network speeds with CurrentWare BrowseControl & BrowseReporter

Shady Maple improves productivity, network performance & profitability

Shady Maple, a farm market in Eastern Pennsylvania with 130 computer-using staff, needed a faster, centralized way to monitor web browsing and curb bandwidth-hogging downloads. IT administrator Kevin Porsche implemented CurrentWare’s BrowseControl and BrowseReporter to replace manual checks of individual machines and provide an easy-to-manage solution.

CurrentWare delivered clear monitoring reports and one-click website/application blocking that let Kevin identify negative browsing trends within hours, stop bandwidth abuse, and restore faster network speeds. BrowseReporter’s weekly reviews became integral to HR decisions, led to measurable productivity gains, some employee dismissals for misuse, little to no training time, and ongoing use of CurrentWare since implementation in Sept 2008.
