August 22, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Managed hosting provider Fpweb.net (http://www.fpweb.net) is sponsoring SharePoint user groups (SUGs) around the world by providing free hosting, it was reported recently. According to the company, “SUGs are an excellent SharePoint community resource and Fpweb.net has made it a goal to help them grow”.
SUGs provide SharePoint users with Microsoft SharePoint-related information on forums, through discussions and knowledge bases, and official documentation. They enable SharePoint users to increase their understanding of the solution through free membership and participation. “We understand that user groups are often sponsor-funded and may lack the resources to maintain an enhanced community site,” explained President of Fpweb.net, Mr. Rob LaMear. “For this reason, we have been sponsoring user groups around the world by offering free SharePoint hosting for their site, sponsoring member meetings and providing giveaway prizes.”
Fpweb.net will sponsor the Los Angeles SharePoint User Group meeting next month, to “encourage member participation and meeting attendance”. The company will “present information on their SharePoint hosting services” and offer 6 months free SharePoint hosting to one attendee.
Fpweb.net offers Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions for SharePoint, Exchange, CRM, Project, PerformancePoint, Office Communications Server and SQL. The company offers shared, semi-dedicated and dedicated hosting options through SAS 70 Type II data centers with PCI, SOX and HIPPA compliance. A Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, the company caters for over 5,000 enterprise customers, including Intel, Boeing and the NY Yankees. Any SUG interested in Fpweb.net sponsorship should contact Lori Hofmeister, Director of Marketing, at lhofmeister (at) fpweb.net.
