DirectPointe, a Lindon-based provider of managed IT outsourcing services for small businesses and distributed offices, has announced an agreement with TriActive to bundle TriActive Systems Management On Demand technology with the DirectPointe CentralPointe Server and Small Office Solution.

TriActive is a Texas-based company that offers a modular solution set that enables partners to deliver Managed Services On Demand.

The addition of TriActive Systems Management On Demand provides Small Office Solution customers with PC management capabilities that complement DirectPointe’s server and networking solution for small businesses or distributed environments.

TriActive Systems Management On Demand provides asset management, patch management, software distribution, software categorization, remote control and license compliance to manage each of the PCs within the Small Office Solution environment. When customers purchase the DirectPointe Small Office Solution, they will be able to activate PC Management as an add-on solution, enabling DirectPointe or a DirectPointe partner to monitor, manage, protect and support the PCs.

DirectPointe CEO Michael Proper said, “TriActive is one of the market leaders in on-demand systems management. They share DirectPointe’s vision of making technology simple, manageable and affordable. This enables DirectPointe and its partners to seamlessly identify and manage PCs connected to the Small Office Solution or CentralPointe Server.”

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. At the heart of the Small Office Solution is the CentralPointe Server, which partners can use to provide their own branded offering.

TriActive Systems Management On Demand provides hosted systems management tools that are integrated, affordable and easy to use. This reduces the cost of IT ownership, eliminates costly hardware and software infrastructure and makes systems management affordable for small and mid-size enterprises.

“We are excited to partner with DirectPointe to simplify technology for small businesses and distributed offices,” said Poul Nielsen, TriActive CEO.  “DirectPointe consolidates enterprise-class technology into an integrated, simple-to-use server that provides tremendous value and cost savings.”
