</p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: DejaVu Serif,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Deployed<br /> (~100) centrally-managed and monitored antivirus clients (CA<br /> eTrust Antivirus) to local and mobile workstations throughout<br /> the City.<br /> </span></span>
