Panda Software Announces 'Save the School Budget' Plan

Panda Software™ Announces “SAVE THE SCHOOL BUDGET” Plan IT MANAGERS SLEEP NIGHTS AND SAVE MONEY TOO. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GLENDALE, CA – June 19, 2003 – Panda Software announced its “Save the School Budget” discount program today. The multinational antivirus developer already does more than half its US business in the educational sector and wants to do even more to help cash-strapped institutions. For a limited time, the new program awards qualified institutions across-the-board discounts, free faculty licenses and additional renewal years. The total savings can reach 50% or more, according to Sarita Stachelrodt, Panda USA’s VP Sales. Full plan details are available at www.pandasecurity.com/savers, or by calling 1-888-823-6795. But it’s not just about saving money – educational IT managers are overloaded and don’t need virus attacks on top of everything else. Panda’s protection scheme helps IT managers sleep better at night, according to Alex Acsenvil, Systems Operation Manager at Raytown School District. “Before we switched to Panda we found viruses on our machines almost daily”, said Acsenvil, “but since we upgraded to Panda 5 months ago we have not had one problem since. “ He added: “When BugBear.B appeared I woke up to check the network in the middle of the night just to make sure but found that once again we were protected by Panda and I did not have to go back to work in the middle of the night. We are working to get Panda on all of the computers in the district.” Panda has long been a favorite of educational institutions, and not just because of the cute Panda bear logo. “Academic institutions tell us that we are their choice for four simple reasons: great protection, low cost, ease of use and 24/7 live tech support. Referrals from our educational customers are our number one source of EDU business”, said VP Sales Sarita Stachelrodt. Full plan details are available at www.pandasecurity.com/savers, or by calling 1-888-823-6795.
