You should think TCO. Monthly payments might cost you less.
One big up front payment, plus upgrads every couple of years, the cost of extra staff, and support and maintenance fees could be double or triple the cost of paying by the month. Remember, they administer the computers, patch the os, upgrade the os, patch the application, upgrade the application. You might be able to unplug your servers and reduce staff. Then the managers can focus on what your business is all about. Chances are it has nothing to do with virus problems.
