Brainshark Authorizes En Pointe Technologies to Sell SlideShark Team Edition to Customers Nationwide

July 30, 2013 - PRLog -- WALTHAM, Mass., and LOS ANGELES — July 30, 2013 — Brainshark, Inc., the leading sales enablement platform (http://www.brainshark.com/) provider, today announced a strategic partnership with En Pointe Technologies (http://www.enpointe.com/), a leading solution provider of IT products and services. En Pointe is now one of a select group of channel partners authorized to offer SlideShark Team Edition (https://www.slideshark.com/products/for-business.aspx) – the award-winning, business-class version of Brainshark’s SlideShark app – to companies nationwide. This partnership extends SlideShark’s reach and channel relationships, and helps En Pointe’s customers maximize the value of their iPad investments – with the ability to now have PowerPoint presentations render properly on those devices.

Used in more than 140 countries, SlideShark (http://www.slideshark.com/) is the industry standard for showing PowerPoint presentations on the iPad and iPhone. The app allows iOS users to view and present PowerPoints the way they are meant to be seen – with fonts, animations, graphics, hyperlinks and videos intact. With SlideShark Team Edition, users can securely distribute and manage their presentations in the cloud, and take advantage of advanced analytics to track viewing activity. Mobile professionals can also broadcast their presentations (https://www.brainshark.com/company/in-the-news/press-rele...) live over the Web and view reports on who attended their broadcast.

En Pointe, an Apple Authorized Reseller (http://www.enpointe.com/apple), was selected by Brainshark due in part to its ability to help customers with large-scale iPad deployments and management of Apple products throughout their lifecycle. In addition, as one of the largest Microsoft Systems Integrator Large Account Resellers (SI-LARs), En Pointe has the distinction to not only sell volume licensing, but also offer authorized implementation services for the entire Microsoft suite, including PowerPoint. Now, with access to SlideShark, En Pointe customers have the unique ability to view and present PowerPoints properly and reliably, using the iPad or iPhone. A cloud-based app, SlideShark is a natural extension of En Pointe’s portfolio, as En Pointe is a leader in cloud solutions (http://www.enpointe.com/cloud) – having made significant investments in the latest technology and service offerings.

“SlideShark Team Edition is a natural fit for our customer base,” said Bob Bogle, senior vice president, sales at En Pointe. “As tablet sales continue to climb, there is increased demand in the enterprise space to use the iPad to give presentations with Microsoft PowerPoint, the No. 1 used business presentation tool. SlideShark bridges this gap for our customers, and we anticipate growing demand for this app.”

Bob Bristol, vice president of channel sales at Brainshark, said: “We’re pleased to work with an outstanding solution provider like En Pointe. En Pointe’s deep expertise in cloud technologies – as well as in Apple and Microsoft products – makes the company an ideal partner in extending SlideShark’s benefits to even more users. We look forward to working with En Pointe to help companies maximize productivity among their mobile workers.”
