Black Ninja Parts Launched!

We’re really excited to announce the launch of our new SharePoint product add-ons this week, at SPConf 2011 in Anaheim. We’ve been hard at work putting together solutions for some of the most commonly requested web parts and columns from our clients. Simplicity, design and functionality was our goal.

Officially titled the Black Ninja Parts, we encourage you to head on over to the site and check them out. We have fully functional trial downloads available for you to try out, and our ninjas are standing by to assist with any support issues you may have.

Our licensing model can’t get any simpler: buy a single licenses and use it across your farm. How great is that? Our support hours are also pretty aggressive, so don’t forget to drop us a line with any feedback or questions, we’d be happy to hear from you!
