"We firmly believe that a policy outlining acceptable web and email usage
should be communicated to all employees before filtering software is
installed. In fact, our 2001 Web and Email Usage Survey found that 75% of
employees agree with monitoring if they are notified in advance. We are
looking forward to working with an expert in the ePolicy field on educational
initiatives to assist our mutual customers and partners," said Ray Boelig, CEO
and president of Elron Software.
The ePolicy Institute is devoted to helping employers manage eRisks
through the development and implementation of effective email, Internet, and
software policies. Founded by ePolicy and eCommunication expert and author,
Nancy Flynn, The ePolicy Institute is a leading source of information to help
organizations minimize the risks associated with unmanaged web and email
usage. Complementary to The ePolicy Institute's services, Elron Software
provides organizations with a comprehensive set of solutions for web access
control, email content filtering, spam and virus protection, and network
security. These solutions can be customized to give organizations the
flexibility needed to enforce their unique policies.
"Policy without enforcement leaves too much to chance. I am happy to work
with Elron Software on tools that will help organizations implement policies
that protect themselves as well as create healthy work environments," said
Nancy Flynn, founder and executive director of The ePolicy Institute.
