“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.
