The Agent collects your data

Our agent is a robust piece of software with a low system profile. Each ActivTrak account has its own uniquely coded agent which does the following:

  • Collects data and executes responses to user activity while running in the background.
  • Senses mouse and keyboard movement in the active window(s) of the monitored user’s computer.
  • Contains encrypted details about where it should send data back to your ActivTrak account.
  • During offline periods, the agent stores all data locally and reports it back to the cloud when a secure connection is re-established.

The Database aggregates all your data

Data is collected and sent through a secure channel to a set of backend servers in Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

  • All of your collected data is stored in an individually dedicated ActivTrak Database – optimized to provide lightning-fast search results.
  • The Database aggregates the data exactly the way the user requests to quickly return the results to display.
  • The Database produces account and team benchmarks to help establish activity and productivity baselines.
  • Our data analytics enrichment identifies patterns and outliers to derive insights and improvement opportunities.
  • The Database dynamically scales to process very large amounts of data quickly, providing quick responses.

The Application delivers your analysis and insights

  • Get clear insights displayed in intuitive dashboards versus viewing raw data in a database or spreadsheet.
  • Identify actionable insights to improve performance and ensure healthy work habits.
  • Enable a culture of continuous improvement through goal setting & tracking.
