MySammy, LLC pioneered the Productivity Measurement Solution. It started as a software project for performance measurement for telecommuting employees working remotely.  At the time, management experimented with the idea of allowing telecommuting employees to work from home through terminal server.  To management's surprise there was no proper management software solution on the market to measure performance of telecommuting employees.  A reliable management tool was needed to measure productivity for the company since managers weren't able to see employees face to face and feared employees becoming complacent. Simply blocking non-productive web sites did not encourage productivity for the telecommuting employees. The key was to engage users' time. Therefore management pioneered a Productivity Measurement Solution known as MySammy.
