Canada Manufacturing Company Deploys OpenDNS Subscription Services, Sees Significant Increase in Workforce Performance
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 30, 2009 -- OpenDNS, provider of the world’s leading Internet navigation and security services that make networks safer, faster, smarter and more reliable, today announced De Boer Tool, a leading manufacturer of tools for the automotive and aerospace industries headquartered in Ontario, Canada, has deployed OpenDNS subscription services organization-wide.
For organizations like De Boer Tool, Internet-connected computers often mean access to non work-related Web sites such as social networking sites and sites containing adult content. After discovering the company faced this problem, De Boer Tool technology staff investigated the total cost of deploying and managing a filtering appliance but soon experienced sticker shock and decided it was cost prohibitive.
Next the team evaluated OpenDNS subscription services. Not only did they find OpenDNS filtering to be far more accurate and generally superior to enterprise-class alternatives, easily meeting all of the company’s filtering needs, the service saved De Boer Tool upward of $7,000 annually.
“We looked at several different filtering services, but none of them were quite as impressive as OpenDNS. Not only the excellence of the filtering service, but the polish of the Web interface, the community, innovative features like SmartCache, and of course the great word-of-mouth made the difference,” said De Boer Tool CEO Daniel De Boer.
Selecting OpenDNS also came with the added bonus of increasing overall Internet reliability and increasing workforce productivity by avoiding disruptions caused by Internet downtime, as well as increasing Web page load times.
OpenDNS premium services include both OpenDNS Deluxe and OpenDNS Enterprise. Since they were initially made available, organizations of all sizes – including globally distributed enterprises and some of the country’s largest school districts – have made the switch from appliance-based filtering solutions from vendors such as Websense and Blue Coat. Both new services are delivered in response to customer demand and build upon OpenDNS’s award-winning, cloud-based comprehensive Web content filtering and security services, rock-solid reliable DNS platform and intelligent Internet navigation features.
Both services are available today. For pricing and full feature lists, please visit:
