En Pointe’s Experience Backs Move to Cloud Computing
April 18, 2012
En Pointe Technologies Inc. has plenty of experience leading customers to Microsoft Office 365 and providing cloud solutions. The California-based IT solutions company has been recognized as a Cloud Innovator and is the subject of a Cloud Innovators profile at wsj.com this month documenting its success in moving companies to the cloud.
Since the early 1990s, En Pointe has grown from its role as an IT hardware provider into a premier software services and solutions consultant. Providing solutions to its customers is En Pointe’s focus, and the company works with clients at all stages of cloud computing — from those with small parts of their business in the cloud, to those with entire IT infrastructures hosted there. Microsoft Office 365 is a constant thread, offering numerous ways to improve service and reliability…
“We can help customers identify some of the pitfalls that come along with moving to the cloud, and offer our best practices we’ve learned through this transition,” said Michael Rapp, En Pointe’s senior vice president.
Cost reduction and finding the best path to managing one’s business in the cloud are benefits that come as a pleasant surprise for most En Pointe customers. And, one of the biggest sources of customer comfort is Microsoft itself, not only the company’s state-of-the-art cloud computing menu, but also its industry track record, and confidence in the brand.
With 19 years of experiences, En Pointe has explored the various solutions that the technology marketplace currently offers. With key players in that space consisting of companies like Microsoft, there is no doubt the solutions available to users are vast.
Because of that, it is important for customers to understand all of the implications involved in making the decision to upgrade through a move to the cloud. And, En Pointe’s expert sales staff, engineers and technicians specialize in pairing the right product with the right customer, whether it’s archiving, running a data center, storage or development.
“What is the best breed out there and how do we match those companies together to give an overall solution to the customer that solves not just a portion of their needs, but really the entirety of their IT needs?” Rapp asked.
Microsoft Office 365 answers many of those questions.
