IM2Filter WebProtect^TM

When inquiring about Internet services and accompanying tools, many organizations will contact their local Internet Service Provider (ISP) as a first step. For ISPs, offering solutions to meet the needs of their clients is of utmost importance to ensure and secure the longevity of the vendor-customer relationship.

ISPs can now offer an Internet filtering and blocking solution to its business, government and educational clients by partnering with IM2Filter. To provide this service, ISPs will simply install a IM2Filter Gateway Filter and Policy server on their network. Upon the clients’ inquiry and agreement, the service will redirect the client’s web traffic through this dedicated server for analysis before the user’s request is delivered. At the conclusion of an initial 5 business day trial period, the ISP clients will be provided with a report displaying detailed metrics and insight into their company’s web activity.

Following this initial trial, interested clients will then engage in discussions regarding deployment options that best fit their requirements. Whether it is via an ISP hosted service, on an internal server within the client’s premise, a Virtual Machine, a IM2Filter hosted server, or the deployment of an appliance, IM2Filter offers complete flexibility for implementation.

Opting into the IM2Filter WebProtectTM program, ISPs can add up to 20% top-line revenues, in addition to providing a service that will return significant value to their clients.
