Since  1996, from their base in Melbourne, Florida, <a title=\"Click this link.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wavecrest.net\/\">Wavecrest Computing<\/a> has developed, marketed and supported a spectrum of innovative Internet  monitoring and reporting solutions. Their products help all types of  organizations manage employees&#8217; online activities and ensure compliance  with acceptable use policies. Starting fourteen years ago with a single  customer, their client base has grown to more than 3,000 organizations,  many of them Fortune 500 companies and high profile government agencies.<\/p>\n<p>What makes Wavecrest stand out from competitors is their on-going  commitment to customer service.   When customers call, they talk to a  real person from Wavecrest&#8217;s Melbourne, Florida location, and they get  personalized attention. Their support personnel know that customer  satisfaction is key to the company&#8217;s (and their own) success. For years  these dedicated men and women have listened to Wavecrest customers and  made sure that Wavecrest consistently delivers the products and services  needed to meet the many dynamic challenges associated with use of the  Internet in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>Those challenges have certainly evolved over the years. Examples include the very real and seriously increasing risks of <a title=\"Click this link.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wavecrest.net\/editorial\/include\/SocialNetworking_SocialNotworking.pdf\">social networking<\/a>,  video streaming and other Web 2.0 technologies that produce  productivity losses, bandwidth drains, legal liability, and network  security threats in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>As the Internet grows and the challenges escalate, Wavecrest has kept pace every step of the way.<\/p>\n<p>Taking a look at Wavecrest&#8217;s product history, they started with a  basic software application called ProxyReporter. It read and analyzed  employers&#8217; outbound Web logs. From that data, it then produced reports  that helped management and IT monitor employees&#8217; use of Web access.<\/p>\n<p>As the Internet became more sophisticated, Wavecrest 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. Their monitoring products now include <a title=\"Click this link.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wavecrest.net\/products\/cyfin\/reporter\/index.html?dt=1\">Cyfin Reporter<\/a>&#8211;a highly sophisticated and scalable logfile analyzer\/reporter&#8211;and <a title=\"Click this link.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wavecrest.net\/products\/cyfin\/sa\/index.html?dt=1\">Cyfin Proxy<\/a>, a standalone Web proxy\/monitor\/reporter.
