Everton Football Club Scores by Introducing Webroot Email Security Service

Situation: As a high profile brand, Everton Football Club is a prime target for marketing pitches and other sorts of unsolicited spam emails. Its 200 employees were receiving nearly one million emails a week, and only 1% were legitimate messages. Everton was investing in more and more hardware to filter its email – at a cost of around £6,000 per server – yet the system still wasn’t coping with the spam.

Solution: Steve Fell, Everton’s Systems Administrator, began doing research to find a more efficient and cost-effective email filtering solution. After talking to other football clubs and hearing repeatedly that Webroot was a market leader, Fell decided to implement Webroot Email Security Service to protect the club’s email users with antispam, antivirus and image filtering.

Result: Everton had a seamless switchover that only took 30 minutes, and email has been problem-free ever since. Not only is email delivery speedier and more secure, but Fell estimates that the service is saving approximately £18,000 to £24,000 on hardware, as well as costs on bandwidth and IT resources.
