Smart savings

The "Dr.Web Anti-virus" service gives you the fastest return on your IT investment, saving your company up to 70% on the total cost of ownership (TCO) of an anti-virus!

Anti-virus software is used in all business processes that involve computers, from management planning to accounting, finance, and production. Having an anti-virus running on workstations and servers ensures the faultless operation of an enterprise and is the primary factor behind reducing IT-infrastructure TCO.

Low TCO – High profit

Using an anti-virus service significantly lowers expenses and adds stability to business routines. IT costs are more than just reduced--they become extremely favourable and affordable and, therefore, increase the return on IT investment. A comprehensive solution that lowers TCO ensures a sensible balance between reducing IT costs and having effective software support, ultimately making the anti-virus a truly efficient and sound security tool.

A company’s management is regularly tasked with examining expenses to look for ways to cut costs. The cost of an anti-virus license is no more than 30% of TCO. Companies are limited in their ability to influence license costs, but all their expense items associated with maintaining and administering an anti-virus go down when an anti-virus service is used.
