For the past eight years, Peter Trahan has been the Systems Operation Director at a national radio network, Radio America. It was evident he had work to do when he first joined the non-profit - the organization had more than 40 workstations, but not a single one of them was running anti-virus software.
Trahan declared: "Job number one was to get some anti-virus protection onto the workstations." He continued: "So the search was on for a solution that was powerful yet inexpensive. As a non-profit, we have to count every penny we spend, and at that time we decided to go with a free product. We chose AVG Free Edition, and we were very pleased with the results."
However, it was clear that using AVG Free across 40 PCs in a business environment - non-profit or no - was not the best long-term solution, nor within the terms of the license Trahan discovered. So Trahan found Walling Data on AVG.com when looking around for a way to convert the Free license to the commercial version of the software.
Walling Data is the only distributor to offer all its customers free, unlimited, U.S.-based pre- and post-sales support and the longest-standing and highest-volume distributor of AVG Technologies solutions in North America. Making them an even more attractive choice for Radio America, Walling additionally provides nonprofit organizations with a significant discount on AVG products.
Trahan admits that the price break for non-profits was the icing on the cake, in addition to the unlimited free support they would receive.
Trahan says that since installing AVG, he has had no issues with viruses or other malware and is completely sold on the product and the service he receives through Walling Data.
