​Brand Change Announcement!

July 30, 2014 - Reston, VA

A message from CEO and Co-Founder, Sean Bordner

Introducing:  "Kintivo"  Kintivo

Our brand is changing!  After 4 years, we've evolved, offering more than just SharePoint® based products and solutions. And we're thrilled to have you grow with us!

To make things easier for our customers we are consolidating into one brand:  Kintivo [pronounced:  kin (as in “next of kin”) tivo (as in “I can fast forward past commercials on my tivo”)].

Until recently, we only offered Microsoft SharePoint® based products and services, adding Office 365® and Azure® in just the last year. In the near future, we're extending our brand to include even more options and benefits.

That's why I'm writing you today. We've outgrown our name and our singular product offering.
We are retiring the “SharePoint®AMS” brand.

And our new brand, Kintivo is taking its place.

SharePoint® AMS Reveals Smartphone Contacts Synchronization Service

Oct 23, 2013 - Reston, VA

"Siri, call a person from our SharePoint ®List"

A new service synchronizes SharePoint® list data with smartphone contacts.  The service does not require an app and utilizes native CardDAV standards to achieve interoperability across all major smartphone platforms including iPhone and Android devices.  

"We want our customers to leverage their native smartphone capabilities to quickly [and safely if they are driving] locate and communicate with others" said Sean Bordner, CEO of SharePoint® AMS.

While issuing voice commands to a smartphone is not new, contact lists have largely been specific to the smartphone owner.  "Business contacts which happen to exist on a person's smartphone often exist in a silo and are frequently out-of-sync with the actual contact information."

Using this new service with your centralized SharePoint® list provides the ability to synchronize a specific list view with your smartphone.  SharePoint® login information is stored on the subscribers' device only. 

Subscribers to the service can map fields between their SharePoint® list and contacts found on their smartphone; such as First and Last Name, Mobile Number, Work Number, Email, etc.  Once setup is complete, the contacts simply appear on the smartphone and remain synchronized with the most current information from the SharePoint® list. 

"We're constantly trying to help our customers manage their businesses more efficiently" said Scott Devore, Sr. Sales & Marketing for SharePoint® AMS.  "Many of our customers already have one or more SharePoint® lists with contact information for customers, or project team members, vendors, members, or donors – basically it's just contact information sitting in a SharePoint® list.  This information is already kept up to date as part of their day-to-day business processes – why not make it highly usable in this mobile world".

SharePoint® AMS Certified for Avalara’s Sales Tax Automation SolutionCertified AvaTax

The SharePoint® eCommerce Module by SharePoint AMS adds eCommerce capabilities to SharePoint®’s already impressive enterprise war chest.

Certified-AvaTax_WEB_100.pngThis week the powerful eCommerce engine by SharePoint® AMS achieved online sales tax level certification from Avalara, Inc.(www.avalara.com), the global leader in online sales tax calculation and compliance automation.

“We want our customers to focus on their business.  Keeping up with ever changing tax laws and shifting jurisdictions detracts from this focus” said Sean Bordner, CEO of SharePoint® AMS.

This eliminates the tedious work and complexity of calculating taxes across multiple jurisdictions and helps businesses focus on their core offering.
