Saberpoint

Saberpoint’s story is one of transformation, adaptability and perseverance. Our origins stem from the successful operation of a wireless retail play, which we parlayed into successful software solutions consultancy. We transformed from enterprise customer into a key, enterprise provider.

Our History

Our History

Saberpoint was founded as the internal IT arm of the Arjay Wireless Group of Companies (est. 1989). Arjay started business as a single retail storefront in New York , and went on to become a major player in the wireless industry in the United States and Belgium with wireless relationships including AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and other prepaid carriers, and manufacturer relationships including Blackberry, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, LG, HTC, and Sony Ericsson. By 1999, Arjay’s business had grown to encompass business operations in 18 States under multiple companies, which required Saberpoint to be established as an IT division that was capable of handling its evolving and expanding technology requirements.

Arjay’s combination of operating scale, carrier/manufacturer relationships, professional reputation and ability to effectively respond to evolving market conditions positioned us to leverage the continued long term growth of the U.S. Wireless industry, and by extension the change it influenced in business as a whole around mobility and changing user expectations of technology consumption.

While Saberpoint initially provided SAP ERP and Analytics solutions to each of the Arjay companies, it quickly evolved to support the EDI and Ariba procurement and integration requirements of Arjay’s enterprise portfolio, which encompassed companies such as Pfizer, Prudential, Mercedes Benz, Goldman Sachs and Waldorf Astoria among others. As an extension of the wireless services, Saberpoint also built an end to end eCommerce and fulfillment platform for the sale of Sprint (then Nextel) and AT&T (then Cingular) wireless devices and services online under the Mobile Plaza brand. Mobile Plaza leveraged new sales and operational solutions for the existing wireless distribution operations, developed eCommerce as a new channel of distribution to meet customers where they were shopping, and developed and managed custom fulfillment portals for our enterprise clients.

In 2013, Saberpoint made a strategic shift to marketing it’s IT expertise and services to other Small and Medium sized businesses in the US and India. In this, we built upon our experience with implementing and customizing technologies such as SAP, and most importantly our experience as a customer of IT Solutions and Services, which has given us unparalleled insight into customer needs and change management requirements. As part of our strategy, we have become authorized SAP and Salesforce implementation partners.

Saberpoint has additionally built a separate division to partner with disruptive technology companies, specifically from Israel and elsewhere, to offer a very innovative technology portfolio of “next generation solutions” to our customers in the US and India. These solutions range from midsize or small business cyber security to digitalization, customer retention and marketing, and enable us to offer incremental value to our customers.

Today, Saberpoint offers its customers a 360 degree view into their business (as well as their customers) by leveraging technology to promote efficiencies, insights within their business transformation journey. Saberpoint remains committed to being a trusted technology advisor for our customers, and to identifying and partnering with new and disruptive technology solutions to influence change through business transformation for our customers.
