Long-Term Partnership with Microsoft Extended to Meet Growing Demand for Business Mobility
ASI Solutions (ASI), Australia’s most innovative and pioneering business technology partner, today announced an authorised reseller agreement with Microsoft to deliver the new Microsoft Surface Pro 3 to businesses in Australia, as tablet devices continue to gain significant traction for commercial and public sector use, particularly in health, education and government. ASI joins a small number of authorised resellers for Microsoft Surface Pro 3 in Australia.
“We have experienced huge demand for mobility implementations this year, as the need for more flexible working devices continues to be a major focus for every CIO/IT manager,” said Maree Lowe, co-founder and CEO of ASI Solutions. “Many of our customers carry both a laptop and a tablet, but we can now offer them a device that serves both purposes. Microsoft Surface Pro 3 will enable them to deploy a laptop replacement that delivers the power, manageability and security needed to conduct business with confidence.”
“We’re pleased to have ASI join us as a Surface Reseller bringing their experience and market reach to help continue the exciting growth of Surface in Australia,” says Tina Flammer, Surface Commercial Lead, Microsoft Australia. “The launch of Surface Pro 3 is being met with unprecedented excitement from consumers and enterprise. We are overwhelmed with our customer’s enthusiasm for this innovative device that expertly replaces both a tablet and a powerful laptop.”
Microsoft Surface Pro 3 delivers the fast, fluid touch experience of a tablet, but with a built-in, multi-angle kickstand and optional click-in keyboard to transform it into a laptop. With the support of Windows 8.1 and an Intel® Core™ processor, the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 can run today’s top business programs and apps, with the ability to run multiple apps at a time – desktop apps and touch apps. It also easily plugs into an organisation’s IT infrastructure and helps provide the security it needs. The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is available now through ASI in various configurations starting from $979.
This announcement is an extension of ASI’s long standing reseller relationship with Microsoft. With the addition of Microsoft Surface Pro 3, ASI now delivers the whole range of Microsoft support and services to its enterprise, small-to-medium business, Government, health, retail and education customers in Australia.
“For almost 20 years, ASI has developed a very deep understanding of Microsoft technologies, but until now devices have been the missing part of the puzzle,” said Ms. Lowe. “We now have a full partnership in place with Microsoft, which enables us to offer our customers a broader spectrum of solutions to suit their changing business requirements.”
Microsoft Surface Pro 3 further extends ASI’s focus on providing business solutions to keep up its customers’ mobility requirements. It also recently launched its exclusive customised, fully hosted and managed Purchase Portals service for the education sector, enabling CIOs/IT managers to reduce administration costs and streamline mobile device deployment – it can also be implemented for commercial use. These personalised portals allow clients and ASI to collaborate from the setting of technology standards, to procurement, implementation, finance, insurance, warranty and support. It also invested in the development of the Versoapp Verso Learning mobile (social network) software application for the education sector that allows users to work collaboratively, measure outcomes and provide reports.
With established national offices, ASI has held the role of Australia’s most innovative and pioneering business technology partner for over 30 years. Its expert IT consultancy skills and solutions help customers manage the IT and business challenges they face for big data, cloud services, mobility, BYOD, security and disaster recovery.
