Let’s face it, the internet has an absolutely hypnotic effect on people. Many employees sit at an internet-connected computer all day. Only the most disciplined can steadily do their work and keep from straying into endless internet abyss.

In fact, most networks that we inherit are found to be running several applications without a proper license. This can be a huge liability to an organization. Audits are real and monetary penalties are stiff. Software Licensing is one of those issues that most business owners overlook and are completely unaware of.

In Greek mythology Prometheus (meaning forethought), was a Titan and the benefactor of humankind. Prometheus and his brother Epimetheus (meaning hindsight) were given the task of creating humanity and providing humans and all the animals on earth with the endowments they would need to survive. Prometheus stole fire from the gods at Mount Olympus and gave it to the mortals on Earth. As a consequence, Zeus chained Prometheus to a rock where an eagle picked at his innards. He was later rescued by the hero Hercules.
