En Pointe Extends Microsoft Office 365 Business Model to Adobe Subscription Services
LOS ANGELES, CA – August 20, 2013 – Following Adobe’s announcement of the new subscription model for its creative applications, En Pointe Technologies, one of the largest Microsoft partners, today announced the expansion of its Adobe practice to support the growth of Adobe Creative Cloud for teams . With this, the company has created a business model for its Adobe subscription services that replicates its Office 365 success. En Pointe has been an Adobe authorized licensing partner for over 13 years and is a Platinum reseller and trusted expert on Adobe products, including Creative Cloud for teams. Also one of the largest Microsoft Systems Integrators and Licensing Solutions Providers (LSPs), and top providers for Microsoft Online Services, including Office 365, En Pointe is utilizing its mobility and cloud expertise to further expand its existing Adobe business.
