SharePoint HQ and
Alentus Internet Services Form SharePoint Hosting and
Implementation Partnership
Toronto, Ontario,
Canada – September 10, 2007 – SharePointHQ®,
a leading provider of training, professional services,
web parts and custom development solutions for Microsoft®
SharePoint® Products and Technologies, and
Alentus® Internet Services, today announced
the formation of a SharePoint services partnership to
provide a joint SharePoint hosting and implementation
solution for the SharePoint marketplace.
The SharePoint services
partnership, with hosting through Alentus Internet
Services’ Turnkey SharePoint offerings and SharePoint
implementation through SharePointHQ’s SharePoint
JumpStart solutions, allows companies to quickly host
and implement both Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 across their
entire organization.
Microsoft Office
SharePoint Server and Windows SharePoint Services are
Microsoft’s collaborative portal applications that allow
users to connect and collaborate within an
organization. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
has experienced explosive growth since its release with
a 35% year-over-year increase in sales based on revenues
of $800 million for the year ending June 30, 2007.
Since SharePoint’s inception in 2001, Microsoft has sold
85 million licenses worldwide to over 17,000 companies.
“We are extremely pleased
to have entered into this partnership with Alentus. We
are now able to provide a SharePoint hosting option to
our professional services clients” said Hans Leuschner,
Vice-President, Sales and Marketing at SharePointHQ.
“For companies that are looking for a single solution
for SharePoint hosting, installation, and implementation
there is a lack of choice in the marketplace. Our
partnership with Alentus now gives enterprises the
choice of having their SharePoint hosting, installation
and implementation provided through a single source.”
“The partnership between Alentus Internet Services and
SharePointHQ is an ideal complement of services,” adds
Darren Hauch, Vice-President and General Manager at
Alentus Internet Services. “Professional clients are
provided with the option to find their SharePoint
solution in one place, with Alentus Internet Services
network infrastructure and hosting, and implementation
and integration services with SharePointHQ. As a
complete SharePoint solution, the partnership extends
our SharePoint service offerings. It’s a wonderful fit
for Alentus Internet Services, and we are pleased to be
a part of it.”
