Anti-Virus Change/Eval

We are considering changing AV packages.  Even though we are generally
satisfied with what we have, changing AV solutions would be a large
undertaking in terms of conversion, costs, learning curve, etc.
However, we feel some "fiduciary responsibility" to at least explore the
possibility of changing AV solutions.

For those who have gone through (or may be considering the same)
changing AV packages for your school, I would be interested in hearing
your experience, the reasons you chose a particular AV solution ( or
decided to keep the current) , and the challenges involved.  I would
also be interested in your take on the matter if you decided to stick
with what you have or decided it was too large an undertaking.

Thank You,
