One of the biggest problems you face is getting a message to the desktop that captures the issues you face with illegal and unauthorised software. If you were the "manager" wouldn't you like to be able to "send a message" to the desktop?

A vital part of your Software Compliance Audit Strategy is communicating with staff what your policies are, and regularly reminding them what needs to happen.

After all the efforts and costs expended on auditing PC's, and creation of software inventory and asset registers you can ill afford the luxury of staff adding software that is illegal and/or unauthorised direct to your PC based systems. In a nutshell, you should not be permitting the installation of software which has not been AUTHORISED or is ILLEGAL!

To keep your PC based systems in a Software Compliant state you need to constantly remind staff at the desktop "what the house rules are" in terms of your Software Compliance Policy. The screen message shown below will help you do this quickly, easily and for very low cost

It is one of the most powerful and persuasive methods that you can use to bring "your" message to the desktop!  This screen message facility is not a TSR - it can be set to  "pop up" at the start of any Windows based system (Win 95, Win 98, Win NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP) and the local user clicks on "OK" to continue.  NOTE: This is NOT a screensaver and can be set using and standard Windows event scheduler.

For US based organisations we can alter the "s" to a "z" for the word

 "Authorized" for no extra charge!

Wording can be altered to suit your organization "management tone" (subject to character limits) for no extra charge!

Why not install this message on the desktop and set it up to run intermittently or on demand, using the Windows Scheduler (or any other scheduler program)?

The Software Screen Message system has been used very effectively by many organizations as a quick, low cost means of reducing their risk by making sure all staff are reminded of the obligations faced across the group.

This screen message facility can be set to load at the Start-Up of Windows 

or 

can be controlled by the Microsoft Scheduler to run at timed events. eg; 

It's not expensive and WILL save you money in the longer term! 

It will bring a Management focus to the desktop and provide you with a powerful tool in combating software piracy in your organisation.  When your staff click "OK" they acknowledge your policy and have no cause for compliant if (or when) they are caught out during a software compliance audit after this point! 

We also offer the same message system with e-mail warnings and Internet usage warnings!
