By: En Pointe Technologies Savings to the County Based on the current cost of its Microsoft Enterprise Agreements (EA), and the cost of operating its own email services, Los Angeles County is expected to save over $2,500,000 annually after the first year Office 365 implementation. “The county is constantly looking at opportunities to manage cost and improve service,” said Richard Sanchez, Chief Information Officer for the County of Los Angeles. “En Pointe Technologies is helping to consolidate our EA agreements into a single Microsoft Office 365 agreement, allowing the county to utilize our Office 365 subscription (including SharePoint, Lync and OneDrive) across all of our departments. Additionally, this will enable over 100,000 employees, such as law enforcement officers, public health inspectors, social workers, and others to securely access information on multiple devices anytime, anywhere. This capability will provide flexibility, enable increased productivity and deliver a technically secure environment for our employees.” En Pointe currently manages many of Los Angeles County’s Enterprise Agreements; the new contract further expands En Pointe’s partnership with the largest county in the nation, based on revenue and total population. “Our relationship and credibility with both Los Angeles County and Microsoft is cited as the reason such a large deal was placed in our hands,” said Michael Rapp, president, En Pointe Technologies. “Throughout the bid and review process, we remained closely aligned with key Microsoft resources, while our internal team worked closely with executive management to develop a strategy and ensure successful execution. From start to finish, all those involved were extremely committed to a positive outcome. This win further validates En Pointe’s mission: To simplify and guide adoption of the right technology.” Over the past 18 years, En Pointe completed several large IT projects for Los Angeles County within a specified time and budget, including hardware procurement, software licensing and various professional and managed services.
