IT VAR En Pointe Technologies has joined the Microsoft Devices Program, becoming one of the first channel partners to offer Surface Pro and Surface RT to commercial customers.
As a Microsoft Systems Integrator-Large Account Reseller (SI-LAR), En Pointe bundles hardware procurement, software licensing and implementation/deployment services within a customer’s Microsoft-based environment, from the data center to the desktop.
“Our induction into the Microsoft Devices Program is an opportunity to bridge the gap in enterprise mobility initiatives, specifically providing a secure, enterprise class device that has consumer appeal,” said Bob Bogle, senior vice president of sales at En Pointe Technologies. “By utilizing our industry experience and vast customer reach, we can help strengthen and expand Microsoft’s mobility and devices to commercial customers of all sizes. We are excited to participate in this program, as it further demonstrates our commitment to serving the needs of customers relying on Microsoft devices and services.”
Launching first in the U.S., the Microsoft Devices Program creates a two-tier distribution model with authorized partners to enable commercial customers to purchase Surface Pro and Surface RT.
“Bringing Surface Pro and Surface RT to the U.S. commercial channel greatly extends the reach of our devices-and-services strategy, delivering our family of devices enabled by cloud services to more organizations than ever before,” said Jenni Flinders, vice president of the U.S. partner group for Microsoft “We look forward to working closely with our Microsoft Devices Program partners to better serve their customers and create compelling solutions together.”
