Soft Activity Case Study - Employee Monitoring Web Application Development

Soft Activity is an employee monitoring software that works hard. It keeps you aware of everything that happens on your employee’s computer, thanks to the wide spectrum of built-in tools and services. From the live view of remote desktop and programs usage statistics to keystrokes logging and sensitive data security.

Soft Activity deals with large volumes of data and ensures that everything is under your control.

Django Stars can analyze requirements and design a project from scratch, unlike a lot of others who basically just code for you.
