We\u2019re Wavecrest Computing, a leading developer of Internet usage management products. Today is our thirteenth birthday. So we\u2019re taking a moment to celebrate, look back, and reflect on some of our accomplishments over the years.<\/p>\n

Since 1996, from our base in Melbourne, Florida, we have developed, marketed and supported a spectrum of innovative Internet monitoring and reporting solutions. Our products help all types of organizations manage their employees\u2019 online activities and ensure compliance with acceptable use policies. Starting thirteen years ago with a single customer, our client base has grown to more than 3,000 organizations, many of them Fortune 500 companies and high profile government agencies.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re extremely proud of this. But it didn\u2019t just \u2018happen.\u2019<\/p>\n

The credit goes to an unusually talented and well-led team of development, sales and support people. They all work directly for Wavecrest; none are outsource or temporary employees. For years these dedicated men and women have made sure that we consistently deliver the products and services that our customers need to meet the many dynamic challenges associated with use of the Internet in the workplace.<\/p>\n

And those challenges have certainly evolved over the years. Examples include the very real and seriously increasing risks of productivity losses, bandwidth drains, legal liability, and network security threats. And as the Internet grew and the challenges escalated, we have kept pace every step of the way.<\/p>\n

Our first product\u2014 a basic software application called ProxyReporter\u2014read and analyzed employers\u2019 outbound Web logs. From that data, it then produced reports that helped management and IT monitor employees\u2019 use of Web access.<\/p>\n

Then, as the Internet became more sophisticated, we went on to develop a series of increasingly robust Web-use monitoring and filtering products designed to suit a variety of customers and network infrastructures. Our monitoring products now include Cyfin Reporter<\/a>\u2014a highly sophisticated and scalable logfile analyzer\/reporter\u2014and Cyfin Proxy<\/a>, a standalone Web proxy\/monitor\/reporter. Our combination filtering\/reporting products include CyBlock for ISA<\/a>\u2014a combination filter\/reporter system for use with Microsoft ISA products\u2014and CyBlock Proxy<\/a>, a standalone proxy\/filter\/reporting solution.<\/p>\n

Our latest innovation is CyBlock Appliance<\/a>, a hardware based Internet-usage management device. Designed to monitor and help control use of all Internet protocols, CyBlock Appliance is a standalone proxy, monitor, filter and reporter.<\/p>\n

Of particular interest, in recent years, we have upgraded all of these products to deal with emerging issues associated with a variety of Web 2.0 advances such as social networking. At the same time we have been busy incorporating new features such as protocol filtering and trend reporting.<\/p>\n

Through the years our products have been well received and proven to be highly reliable and cost-effective, and we back them all with a 90-day money-back guarantee.<\/p>\n

As proud as we are of our products, we take equal pride in our support services. When customers call, they talk to a real<\/em> person\u2014here in America\u2014and they get personalized attention. Our support personnel, all of whom have been with us for years, know that customer satisfaction is key to the company\u2019s (and their own) success. And as a result of their responsiveness and professionalism, they have received literally hundreds of kudos and compliments over the years.<\/p>\n

So, in sum, we have much to celebrate and be proud of.<\/p>\n

Happy Birthday, Wavecrest!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
