Walling Data and AVG Protects Indiana Educational Nonprofit

The Technical Coordinator at Job Orchard, an educational nonprofit in Indiana is Robert Drake. He manages there a small office with 10 computers and one server. Along with average of five students using the computers at any one time the organization has a small staff.

Moving the organization's network to a new security solution has been Drake's most recent project for the nonprofit. To protect their network, Job Orchard had been using Norton Anti-Virus but was struggling to find the budget every year for the update subscription. Drake had to find a new solution that would keep the network protected against security threats like spyware, viruses, and drive-by downloads but that wouldn't break the organization's meager budget. Fortunately, he had a good idea of where to start looking.

Drake declared: "I protect my personal PC with AVG Anti-Virus and so, when we began our search for a new security solution at Job Orchard, AVG was my first stop, because I knew it worked," He added: "Not only is AVG a sound product that delivers rock-solid protection, but it is also very affordable, which is extremely important to us as a small, nonprofit organization with limited funds."

To test out the product further, Drake and Job Orchard began running AVG's Free Edition on their workstations. They decided it was time to purchase AVG Anti-Virus Network Edition, when his team discovered that AVG lived up to their high expectations.

Walling Data Systems is the longest-standing distributor of AVG Technologies solutions and the company's highest-volume distributor in North America. Walling specializes in the education and nonprofit sectors, and is the only distributor to offer all customers free, unlimited, U.S.-based support as part of every sale.

Since switching to AVG, Job Orchard has had no problems with their network as Drake says; he even admits that he hasn't needed to use Walling's free, unlimited support. Drake continues: "We have been using the network edition for about seven months now, and it's working out very well." He adds: "Ever since Walling Data helped us set it up on our network, we've almost forgotten it's there. It's such a good product that, once it is set up, it pretty much runs itself."

Knowing that the free support is available from Walling if he ever needed, Drake says that he is particularly impressed with the extensive reporting capabilities that come with the AVG product.
