DirectPointe, a leader in IT outsourcing services, today announced the integration of Google Presentation with the DirectPointe Small Office Solution™. This adds to DirectPointe’s integration with Google Apps™ Premier Edition and its participation in the Google Enterprise Professional™ program.

Small businesses can access powerful presentation tools so users can create web-based presentations that others can collaborate, update and view from their own computers in real time. DirectPointe adds value by eliminating the time-consuming and technical process of integrating the Google Apps domain with a local domain. This enables customers to use Gmail™ with professional e-mail addresses using their own company name.

Also, by integrating Google Apps (now including presentations) with the network, DirectPointe provides a way for when a new user is added to the network, they are automatically provisioned with the same user name and password to Google Apps and have immediate, single sign-on access to their local domain as well as the collaboration tools in their Google Apps domain.

“As Google expands its productivity and collaboration offering, DirectPointe has worked quickly to ensure those applications are available to our customers,” said DirectPointe CEO Michael Proper. “DirectPointe continues to manage all of a small office’s IT needs using best-of-breed technologies, so those companies can focus on running their business.”

As part of its managed IT services, DirectPointe deploys the Small Office Solution and Google Apps on the customer’s own domain to eliminate disruptions to the business. Once the solution is set up, DirectPointe monitors, manages and protects the IT environment to ensure it is healthy and running smoothly. This is all backed by immediate 24/7 support from experienced technicians.

The DirectPointe Small Office Solution is a fully featured, enterprise-class networking solution for small businesses and large organizations with distributed environments. It provides all of the core server and networking hardware, software and services a small business needs in a single, plug-and-play device that resides at the customer location.

DirectPointe’s Small Office Solution is available starting at $350 per month per location.
