Employee Productivity Savings
Within an eight hour work day, it's not uncommon for a user to incur one to four hours of unproductive time. Whether the person is surfing the web, using instant messaging or inappropriate software applications like games, the cost of unproductive time is substantial. By using Resource Monitor, you will be able to view how long they are using these applications, limit the use of those applications or block the use of them.

Savings for Over Purchasing Software Licenses
Resource Monitor is able to analyze the usage of every software application install on every workstation. Since it is common for an application not be used on a workstation, an opportunity is available to save money on your software purchases. The example below demonstrates how the cost savings of just one software application can justify the purchase of Resource Monitor.
Savings Example:
| Number of licensed copied of Adobe |
100 |
| Licenses found not used on systems |
5 |
| Cost to upgrade each Adobe license |
$ 250.00 |
| Savings by not purchasing 5
unused
licenses |
$ 1,250.00 |
Cost to Manually Inventory Hardware and Software
The ability of the IT department to accurately determine the hardware and software configuration, for every workstation, is a necessity for every organization. Manually taking these inventories is time consuming, inadequate and often out of date within a short time period. Since Resource Monitor performs a live inventory every time a system is started, your IT department will be insured of actuate and timely information to make informative decisions.
Savings Example:
| Number of Systems |
100 |
| Hours to Take, Record and Analyze |
1 per system |
| Hourly Rate of IT Personal |
$ 35.00 |
| Savings from manual audits |
$ 3,500.00 |
