DESKTOPSITES AND THINPRINT PARTNER TO BRING APPLICATIONS TO SMALL AND MID-SIZED BUSINESSES

desktopsites Inc. (“desktopsites”), a rapidly emerging leader in on-demand application publishing and access virtualization software for small and mid-size businesses, today announced that it has entered into partnership with ThinPrint GmbH (“ThinPrint”) to bundle their respective industry leading products as an ‘application publishing, remote access and print’ solution specifically targeted at small and mid-size businesses. ThinPrint is the specialist for mobile enterprise solutions and for printing in distributed network architectures and their solutions are available in more than 80 countries around the world. ThinPrint has strategic relationships with such companies as RIM, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, Lexmark International Inc., Microsoft®, Nokia, Palm and many others.

The bundled ‘application publishing, access virtualization, remote access and print’ solution is the first offered to small and mid-size business of its kind. This unique solution provides customers with local and remote access to applications and data through desktopsites’ Konect solution and seamless local and remote print capabilities with ThinPrint’s solution. Within this bundle, customers will install and deploy both products through one installation routine. This installation will provide seamless software integration between the 2 products. The licensing model is simple as well, providing customers with “1 for 1” licensing, where each user license of Konect is complimented with a single license for the ThinPrint solution.

“Small business is rapidly acknowledging and adopting the new “anywhere, anytime” business model that is becoming pervasive across the industry,” said Charlotte Künzell, General Manager at ThinPrint. “And the metrics around small business are very compelling; of all segments they employ the greatest percentage of the global workforce, they are the greatest driver of economic growth and they are adopting technology at profound rates. The opportunity to gain more exposure and opportunity in this segment is of significant interest to us and we see this partnership with desktopsites as an exciting and valuable means to do this. Small companies don’t have the time nor resources to deal with all possible technology options. They need solutions that can provide end-to-end value and this Konect / ThinPrint bundle does that very attractively.”

“We are thrilled to be partnering with ThinPrint on this initiative,” explained Alex Bethlehem, President and CEO of desktopsites. “ThinPrint is broadly recognized as the industry leader in remote and mobile print solutions for distributed networks. The Konect / ThinPrint bundle delivers tremendous value to potential customers in a number of ways such as enabling all of the core local and remote access needs they may have by providing access to data, applications and services, locally or remotely, with the ability to save and print locally.”
