"We had employees challenge using the Internet for non-work related purposes during business hours, and we had no way to control or monitor the web sites being visited," said Jen D'Almeida, Call Center Manager for Spirit Delivery and Distribution Services. "As a call center operation, it's important to get through the highest volume of calls per day as possible. After implementing Omni Manager, we've noticed that our customers are experiencing shorter wait times due to the fact that employees are no longer distracted by the Internet. Using the reporting logs, we can also see what sites they're visiting and attempts to visit blocked sites. One of Omni Manager's biggest benefits is that it's really easy to use and set up. Technology can be complicated, but Omni Manager is very simple and does its job well. It's also a great value for the price."

NASHUA, NH--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 11, 2008 -- QED Connect Inc. (Other OTC:QEDC.PK - News), an innovative Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider for the information security market, today announced that West Virginia-based International Industries, Inc. has chosen its flagship Omni Manager for Internet visibility, management and control. International Industries is a diversified group of companies that includes natural resources, manufacturing, hotels and real estate among its businesses. Omni Manager was implemented within the company's Coal and Lumber Division in support of its voice over IP (VoIP) initiative, as well as to provide tools for monitoring Internet usage and enforcing computer use policies.
"We were in the process of rolling out VoIP technology over a shared Internet connection and found that for some reason, the voice quality was not consistently as good as we needed," said Dan Logan, IT Manager, International Industries, Inc. "After implementing Omni Manager, we were able to trace the source of our loss of voice quality to several network users that at times were making extensive use of Internet radio or downloading videos and music to their networked computers. With Omni Manager, we were able to selectively block users from these sites and our voice quality has improved dramatically. We can also plan our network growth and resources more accurately with the visibility we've gained into computer usage."

In addition to the network visibility, management and control provided by Omni Manager, customers can now rely on MessageLabs E-Mail Content Control Service for powerful protection against inappropriate, unauthorized and unsolicited e-mails."
