Scry (formerly iCU) is a Windows network utility that makes it easy to track the whereabouts of employees. Patterned after the traditional "In-and-Out Board" that shows each employee as being available, at lunch, or on vacation, Scry allows employees to monitor the status of colleagues, without leaving their desks.

From any computer on the network, employees can view a department-wide or company-wide list of their colleagues' names, departments, current status, and latest status-change dates and times, as well as any comments that the employees might have posted. Scry sits in the system tray, and changing the status message takes only a second or two. Users can even leave comments using a system tray pop-up menu.

Scry makes it easy for employees to send each other text messages. If it's important to know when another user has returned to their computer, you can track another user's status activity and receive notification when it has changed. Scry can even detect when a screen saver has been triggered, and create a change notification.

The network administrator can easily install Scry on all network drives, and users can complete their own initial log-ons quickly and easily. Because Scry operates at the user-name level rather than at the computer-name level, multiple users sharing a single PC can use Scry. Using simple maintenance screens, the network administrator can easily set up new departments, add employees, and create new status messages. It's easy to add or delete users, and move them among departments. Administrators may create a comma-delimited or text log file to keep a permanent record of employees' activity status.

Scry saves money by eliminating the endless trips to colleagues' desks, only to find that they're not available. With its status and messaging capabilities, Scry adds efficiency to the networked office, and allows employees to be more effective on the job.

Some of Scry's many features:
