Dropsuite Announces Global Integration with ConnectWise

Leave a comment



MELBOURNE, Australia (PRWEB)

Dropsuite (ASX:DSE), a leading cloud data backup and archiving platform for businesses, today announced that the Dropsuite cloud platform has strengthened its technical and marketing capabilities with ConnectWise and is now available for provisioning through the ConnectWise Marketplace in all major international markets. This integration means IT solution providers, VARs, MSPs and other reseller partners utilizing ConnectWise can order and provision faster, and deliver the most comprehensive cloud backup, archiving, email insights intelligence and GDPR response solutions for their clients, with Dropsuite.

According to the 2019 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, cyberthreats and data breaches continue to rise, resulting in corresponding increases in hacking of cloud-based email servers. Verizon claims no organization is too large or too small to fall victim to a data breach. No industry vertical is immune to attack. Regardless of the type or amount of an organization’s data, “there is someone out there who is trying to steal it.”

Dropsuite empowers customers to fight back against cyberthreats, accidental deletions and rogue employees by providing ConnectWise users the peace of mind with a fast and efficient way to securely store copies of their business communications in the cloud ensuring that their data is searchable and recoverable on demand.

Additionally, Dropsuite helps companies quickly and easily safeguard their business correspondence so that the strict legal requirements can be fulfilled. For example, eDiscovery requests are common within industries that are prone to litigation or under regulatory compliance rules. Using Dropsuite, customers can reduce the time/cost associated with retrieving relevant data during audits or lawsuit proceedings.

The integration with Dropsuite empowers ConnectWise partners to:

  • Offer Dropsuite’s fully managed backup and archiving solution to its end user clients

  • Activate Dropsuite for any existing customer in real-time

  • Use free NFR licenses internally for backing up their own users

  • Automatically sync the provisioned orders to ConnectWise agreements

  • Manage customer support tickets for seamless technical support escalation

  • 24/7 access to the Dropsuite Cloud Reseller Portal to manage all their end user clients from a single dashboard

Since data sovereignty is a critical issue for many businesses, Dropsuite’s local data centers in the US, Canada, Brazil, Ireland, Germayn, Singapore, Australia and Japan allow ConnectWise partners to store all data locally for performance, legal, or preference reasons. Dropsuite’s products also help organizations comply with a broad variety of international rules and regulations including HIPAA and GDPR. As safeguarding customers’ data is of utmost priority, Dropsuite follows a security assurance program that uses global privacy and data protection best practices. Further, the company deploys military-grade AES 256-bit data encryption in transit and at rest that provides peace of mind.

Dropsuite safeguards business communications within Office 365 (Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Groups and Teams), G Suite Gmail, Hosted Exchange, Open-Xchange and IMAP-POP ecosystems.

“We’re very excited about our integration with ConnectWise and how this further empowers MSPs to easily deliver Dropsuite’s comprehensive backup and archiving solutions to its end user clients, said Ridley Ruth, COO of Dropsuite. “Our dedicated staff, cutting-edge cloud technology and superior products are delivered at scale to power business defense.”

“Great partnerships flourish from solid foundations. We’re excited to more deeply integrate Dropsuite’s cloud backup and archiving solutions into the ConnectWise Marketplace to create a better experience for our partners, by reducing friction and speeding up the purchase, deployment and billing process,” said Travis Vigneau, Director of Solution Partner Strategy for ConnectWise.

The expanded ConnectWise integration is the latest of several international implementations that works seamlessly with the Dropsuite platform, including cPanel, ALSO, Interworks, and more.

Dropsuite will showcase the enhanced ConnectWise integration, along with Dropsuite’s leading cloud backup and archiving solutions, at Booth #520 during the ConnectWise’s IT Nation Connect conference, October 30 – November 1, 2019 in Orlando, Florida.

Pivotree Advances Growth Model with Three Strategic Leadership Appointments

Leave a comment


News Image

It’s never been a better time to be a part of the Pivotree experience… With our aggressive goals for 2020 and beyond, the appointments of Ted Smith, Moataz Ashoor, and Rusty DiNicola will accelerate growth and drive the best customer experience possible.


TORONTO (PRWEB)

Pivotree, a leading Global Commerce Services Provider, is pleased to announce the appointment of three accomplished executives to its leadership team: Ted Smith as Chief Operations Officer, Moataz Ashoor as Chief Administration Officer, and Rusty DiNicola as Vice President and General Manager of the EnterWorks Master Data Management (MDM) practice.

The mandates for each of these strategic hires are to support Pivotree’s growth following its merger activity and rapid development of its MDM practice. Under the expanded leadership team, the company will continue to streamline operations and foster thought leadership in new solution categories to elevate the experience for clients, partners, and associates.

As COO, Smith will bring together the Professional Services and Managed Services practices, ensuring clients have a seamless customer experience at every step of their journey.

“Our customers’ businesses tend to be specialized with their own unique needs and processes. What impressed me with Pivotree is our ability to take standardized solutions, add in our own IP and innovation and deliver a tailored solution that drives a competitive advantage,” said Ted Smith, newly-appointed COO of Pivotree. “In addition, we partner with our customers through their entire journey from strategy, through project implementation and then ongoing support. This is unique and ensures we always take the long view for our customers.”

Pivotree has seen its vision for growth come to fruition, both organically and through the 2018 merger combining Tenzing, Thinkwrap, and Spark::red, which resulted in double-digit revenue growth post-closing. The company’s expansion model includes continued M&A, expanding Pivotree’s expertise into solution categories clients care most about and accelerating their digital transformation initiatives. As a seasoned industry professional, Ashoor is dedicated to creating a culture of innovation and customer-centricity, and will focus his team on being easy to do business with while supporting Pivotree’s acquisition strategy.

“In my career, I’ve been able to help large, multinational organizations navigate the complexities of a growth strategy and find great success,” said Moataz Ashoor, newly appointed Chief Administration Officer of Pivotree. “Creating a culture of strong leadership, great employee opportunities, and customer-first mentality will be the foundation which will accelerate our growth. The people at Pivotree love working with the greatest brands in the world, seeing the impact they make on our clients’ businesses. In leading Pivotree’s corporate services, I look forward to supporting our employees’ work experience and attracting the best talent to our team.”

A central part of Pivotree’s growth story has been the eruption of its MDM practice, which has evolved significantly in terms of client base and market adoption. As the former global vice president of Professional Services at EnterWorks – a leading MDM solution provider and key Pivotree partner – DiNicola will guide the continued development of a thriving MDM practice for Pivotree.

“At EnterWorks, I had a front-row seat to Pivotree’s passion for solving client issues and their enthusiasm for digital transformation. I also witnessed what can happen when companies use disjointed services and saw that Pivotree offered a key ingredient to success with their holistic approach of implementation, support, and hosting,” explained Rusty DiNicola, now the VP and GM of the Pivotree EnterWorks MDM practice. “Pivotree’s dedication to adding new categories and expanding their business is growing the company rapidly, making this a very exciting time to join.”

In welcoming the executives to the leadership team, Bill Di Nardo, Pivotree’s CEO and a pioneer in the ecommerce space, said:

“From our market expansion and commitment to our partners, to our supportive work environment and people, it’s never been a better time to be a part of the Pivotree experience. We have heard time and time again that clients need someone with our business model, supporting them not only in implementation, but in managed application services, managed hosting (including partner-managed cloud), and ongoing support – this is the key ingredient that has attracted so many new partners and clients to Pivotree.

With our aggressive goals for 2020 and beyond, the appointments of Ted Smith, Moataz Ashoor, and Rusty DiNicola will accelerate growth and drive the best customer experience possible by streamlining our processes and helping us evolve into new categories faster to provide our partners and clients with the innovative solutions we are known for.”

As More Residents Leave San Francisco For Sacramento, OCD Moving Services Shares Tips For Leaving The Big City For The Suburbs

Leave a comment


Moving Services

Movers Bay Area


SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)

A new report from Seattle-based real estate brokerage Redfin revealed that more Americans are leaving pricey big cities for affordable metro areas. According to the report, the national share of home-searchers considering relocation was 25 percent in the second quarter of 2019 – that’s a 24 percent increase in the same period the prior year. Also, Sacramento has the most significant number of people moving into – rather than leaving – the area. Alternatively, most people residing in expensive cities, such as San Francisco, were looking to move out. San Francisco had the second-highest net outflow or number of people looking to leave minus the number of those wanting to move in.

As Northern California residents looking to leave the big city for smaller metro areas, OCD Moving Services, which offers local and long-distance moving services to California residents and beyond, shares the top tips to prepare yourself to move from the big city to the small town.

Consider The Community When Looking For A New Area

When looking for a new area in which to purchase a house, OCD Moving Services advises California residents to consider the community in which you’ll be moving. Individuals who live in a big city can get used to the different areas and neighborhoods that offer unique characteristics. However, in a big city, those characteristics can differ from those you’ll find in communities in smaller towns. For example, rather than an “entertainment district” like that of a big city, the suburbs are often separated by the type of living experience offered. For example, some parts of the town might be primarily dominated by college and university students, while others may consist of younger families, older residents, and retired individuals,. When moving to a small town, consider the type of people and lifestyles that are more appealing to you in a neighborhood.

Consider Your Work Commute

When you live and work in a big city, there is sometimes the added benefit of public transportation to get to and from work. However, a commute in the suburbs can be much quicker or longer than you’d experience living in the city. If your job is still in the city, your commute may be longer. Alternatively, if you’re relocating for a job, you can consider finding a house closer to where your office is. Public transportation is often limited in the suburbs. For that reason, if you were used to not having a car in the city, driving in the suburbs will be a transition.

Remember That The Suburbs Will Be Different

When moving from the big city to the suburbs, you might experience a bit of a culture shock at first. Everything will be different; from the way people interact with each other, to the customer service, and possibly even the dining options. If you can embrace the change and find your place in the suburbs, you may enjoy the new experience.

OCD Moving Services Offers Free Estimates For houses Moving

If you’re leaving the big city for the suburbs soon, call OCD Moving Services. With over five years of experience in the industry, OCD Moving Services has helped clients move in and out of homes all across California. The professionals at OCD Moving Services also offer packing services and junk removal services. For a free estimate, call Bay Area’s top moving company at 510*375*3844, or visit http://www.ocdmovingservices.net.

LeaseAccelerator’s Michael Keeler Named to the 2019 Washingtonian Magazine Tech Titans List

Leave a comment


“I am honored to be named to the 2019 Washingtonian Magazine Tech Titan List and join a peer group that consists of many of the Washington DC area’s most successful, high-growth companies,” said Michael Keeler, CEO of LeaseAccelerator.


RESTON, Va. (PRWEB)

Michael Keeler, the CEO and Founder of LeaseAccelerator and pioneer in the Enterprise Lease Accounting software market, has been named to the Washingtonian Magazine Tech Titans 2019 List as an Entrepreneur Honoree. The annual list published by Washingtonian Magazine identifies the most important and innovative people in Washington’s digital economy. The award ceremony is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, October 29th, 2019 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m at the 12 Stories lounge in Washington D.C.

Michael Keeler founded LeaseAccelerator in 2003 as the first enterprise application software company focused on automating the business processes for managing global corporate leasing processes. Over the past few years, Keeler has led LeaseAccelerator through a period of explosive growth which included a $30M growth equity funding from Insight Partners, which fueled LeaseAccelerator’s recent expansion in Europe and Asia Pacific.

With over $3 trillion in spend worldwide, leasing is one of the last major business processes yet to be significantly disrupted by technology. Since its inception LeaseAccelerator’s mission has been to help businesses of all sizes automate the sourcing, management, and accounting of their real estate and equipment lease portfolios. New accounting standards introduced in 2016 have significantly compounded the challenges as businesses must now track the rent and contract terms of each and every leased asset to provide accurate reporting to their shareholders. Even small companies are struggling as they find that spreadsheets and low-budget leasing applications are not adequate to comply with these new rules.

“I am honored to be named to the 2019 Washingtonian Magazine Tech Titan List and join a peer group that consists of many of the Washington DC area’s most successful, high-growth companies,” said Michael Keeler, CEO of LeaseAccelerator. “The entire LeaseAccelerator team should be recognized for our achievements in developing this new category of Enterprise Lease Accounting software. It took hundreds of incremental innovations by the many wonderful entrepreneurs in our company to take such a complex business process as lease accounting and make it so simple and fast for our customers,” noted Keeler.
