The benefits of MyPC
Preparation times
If required, MyPC can incorporate preparation times with bookings which restrict users from utilising a computer until they have been cleaned and prepared.
Communication
MyPC includes a remote messaging option for fast interaction with users. Perfect for diffusing and spotted tense situations and avoiding the possible confrontation.
Reporting
Capture computer utilisation and user booking statistics to identify computers that are under or over utilised ensuring the optimum return on investment on your hardware.
Flexibility & control
Configure the types of booking methods you wish to suit your organisation. MyPC works with most major platforms, web browsers and supports multiple languages.
Promote fair usage
MyPC promotes fair usage by determining how often and how long each user is allowed. Restrictions can be tightened during peak times and relaxed when demand for computers is low to optimise PC utilisation.
Filter bookable computers
Where you have a variety of hardware or software offerings, intuitive search filters enable users to easily locate their computer of choice.
Messaging
MyPC enables staff to send messages easily, even anonymously, to any computer user. Whether you use predefined or open text messages, there is no need to physically approach users. Possible confrontations are avoided, cultivating a more studious environment.
Comprehensive reports
Comprehensive reports identify computers that are under or over utilised ensuring the optimum return on investment for your hardware. Anyone who needs statistics can receive them daily, weekly or monthly, delivered automatically by email.
LMS integration
Integrates with your library management system to inform users of their library fines and outstanding items and even ban them from reserving a computer until they have addressed the issue. This helps you to get books back on time for other users and reduce costs incurred in sending postal reminders.
Smartphone booking
MyPC also includes booking options for iPhone, android and other smartphones including tablets.
End user authentication
MyPC supports end-user authentication against your network directory (including Active Directory, Novell eDirectory, RM or LDAP) or your library management system and does not replace your logon mechanism or require the use of generic or “service” accounts.
Power management
Power up one or all workstations at opening time using Wake-on-LAN and power them down at closing.
Design and present your floorplan
MyPC Maps is a web based optional add-on module designed to work in conjunction with the MyPC resource state API. MyPC Maps provides a simple way to design and present a floor plan of your chosen site(s) to clearly illustrate the location and availability of your bookable PCs.
MyPC Maps clearly displays which PCs and Macs are In Use, Reserved, Available and Not Available all in a colour coded format. Scrolling maps can also be set up to reflect multiple maps of different locations on the one screen.
The latest release of MyPC Maps now integrates it into the top menu of MyPC as well as allowing users to book directly from the map view when logged into the MyPC web interface.
What our customers say
![MyPC]( "MyPC")
MyPC booking system has made a huge difference to the library environment for both our counter staff and the general public. The MyPC booking process runs very well and is really easy to use for both staff and our customers. The librarians are much happier now that the MyPC system takes away the need for them to book customers onto the PCs. We cannot wait to roll it out to all our other libraries very soon!
