Lumiun Tecnologia brings to the Brazilian market a simple and low-investment solution for controlling internet access in small and medium-sized businesses. The solution addresses two common problems faced by managers today: protection against internet threats and low employee productivity .
A 2015 PwC survey indicated that expenses related to security breaches increased by 34% in one year for companies. Another survey by Triad found that 72% of professionals spend an average of 3 hours a day on the internet. “These problems are very relevant to companies, potentially causing serious damage with data loss and reduced employee productivity, compromising an average of 15% of the team's work time. That's why we created Lumiun, so that all companies can have greater internet security and manage employee internet usage, thus increasing team productivity,” says Cledison, one of the founders.
Lumiun already has clients in all states of southern and southeastern Brazil. “With Lumiun, we control internet usage in all company units. With integrated management, we reduce travel and maintenance costs, in addition to increasing team productivity by 12%,” says Rodrigo Florentino, IT manager at Sicoob Coopcred. André Faria, managing partner at Bluesoft, adds, “Lumiun offers security and browsing monitoring in a simple and practical way, with complete and analytical reports on internet usage in our company.”
Heini, also a founder with 15 years of experience in network security, adds that Lumiun fills a clear gap in the market: “Smaller companies have difficulty acquiring security and browsing control solutions, since the investment is high, in addition to requiring constant maintenance, updates, and a specialized IT professional. So we created Lumiun so that all managers can manage internet usage in a simple and efficient way.”
The service is easily installed in the company; simply install the Lumiun Box on the network, without any configuration required. After that, all management takes place in a web-accessible control panel with a simple and intuitive interface.
The return on investment from the service is quickly noticed by managers through increased focus and productivity among employees. Furthermore, Lumiun provides managers with a tool that allows them to simulate the cost of wasted time in the company, which can be accessed at www.lumiun.com/calculo-desperdicio .
It is possible to implement any internet access policy; for example, to block certain content such as pornography or social media, simply by selecting a button for the desired category. Rules can be flexible, by user, device, and time. Furthermore, the system generates analytical reports on network usage, allowing managers to make decisions to optimize the company's online security and productivity.
Lumiun Tecnologia is based in Ijuí, in the northwest of Rio Grande do Sul, and was recently selected for the WOW Accelerator program in Porto Alegre, receiving support from mentors, financial investment, and a complete service package. "With the acceleration, the goal is to expand operations and increase the number of clients by 160% by the end of 2016," said Heini, CEO of the company.
The company also maintains a blog with articles for managers seeking greater protection against internet threats, improved IT governance, and enhanced employee productivity; access it at www.lumiun.com/blog
