MyPC - Computer Booking & Access Management
MyPC has been specifically designed to meet the PC Booking requirements of schools, colleges and universities with Windows, Novell or RM Networks - and now for Public Libraries. The base package includes web-based booking for on and off campus users, block-booking facility for course tutors and technicians, client side warning messages and computer usage reports. In addition, iSPY can be activated at no extra cost to monitor what students are doing remotely via the MyPC administrator's web browser.

"MyPC has definitely revolutionised the way we run our open access computing. Both students and staff got used to the system very quickly, and the benefits have been enormous."

"We’d never go back to the old system now. We mainly bought MyPC as a way of controlling bookings, which it does very effectively, but we didn’t expect the other things that came with it – mostly, the improved behaviour of students and a more studious atmosphere throughout the LRCs."

•
 Spreadsheet layout shows when computers are available and allows students or staff to book them via a web browser or dedicated booking station(s). Librarians and support staff can also book computers for a user or a class.
•
 Session length is constantly monitored with warning messages appearing at pre-configured intervals prompting the user to save their work. When their session expires the user is gracefully logged off and all programs are closed leaving the machine ready for the next user. Staff intervention is never required.
•
 Corporate colours and logo can be included on the client logon and booking screens as MyPC is fully customisable to reflect your corporate identity.
•
 MyPC allows for flexible licensing so you can start small and expand the system as you require.
•
 Administrators can see exactly which computers are in use or available at any given time and can easily remove faulty PCs from the system to prevent accidental booking.
•
 Tutors, librarians and support staff can book computers further ahead than students to allow block booking for classes or groups of users. MyPC's calendar configuration also allows days to be blanked out such as bank holidays.
•
 Administrators can send messages direct to users and terminate their session early if necessary.
•
 MyPC can display a compulsory Acceptable Usage Policy (AUP) which if not accepted by the user will log them off!
•
 Users can be banned from the system but can still participate in block bookings when part of a class or group as MyPC does not require them to be disabled in NT, Active Directory or NDS.
•
 MyPC is completely web based so computers, sites, and even banned users can all be controlled by the administrator from their web browser without visiting the server room.
•
 Comprehensive reports can be compiled listing which computers have been used, where and by whom. These are all web based and can be extracted into CSV format for easy manipulation.
•
 Fully integrates with leading print charging methods such as Uniprint.
