Data is the lifeblood of a digital society and the backbone of private sector companies, government organisations, and education institutions the world over. Managed, used and secured correctly it is a strategic asset, can inform decision making and trust, improve organisational efficiency, and be a source of value for the kind of innovation that has far-reaching and positive impact. But that’s only possible with state-of-the-art data management, governance and security. Which is where AvePoint excels.
The company, a global leader in disciplined and secure data management solutions, empowers organisations to embrace the rapidly evolving and increasingly complex digital landscape by bringing data together, building transformative processes, protecting against breaches, and optimising data governance. This enables customers to remain agile and competitive, while maximising the opportunities of new and emerging technologies like AI.
AvePoint brings a strong pedigree of excellence and experience to its work. Formed in 2001 in a New Jersey public library, the company brought its first product to market – a backup solution for Microsoft’s email service, Exchange. Since then, AvePoint has evolved into a global leader trusted by the world’s largest organisations.
“AvePoint is a premier partner for supporting organisations, agencies, and the public sector to not just meet compliance, but set the standard for what effective data security and management can look like in the digital age or the new era of AI,” says Vice President of Public Sector, Kevin Briggs. “We ensure the security, accessibility and integrity of data for customers with missions from everything from finance and health services, through to national security, innovation, and science.”
Empowering public sector excellence
Briggs’ experience gives him a strong understanding of the specific needs of government and educational organisations regarding data security and management, as well as the potential of maximising the value of that data. The company’s solutions help the public sector to build secure, resilient, and digital workplaces that improve collaboration, modernise IT operations and protect critical data, meet regulatory and compliance standards, and better service constituents.
“Public sector data management and security are indispensable for ensuring government agencies and entities can operate efficiently, transparently, and securely to enable data as a strategic asset and strategic enabler,” explains Briggs. “Data is the backbone of modern, efficient and responsive government and educational institutions so it has to be protected and managed as a critical payload. Effective data management can simplify the delivery of public services, underpin public trust, reduce fraud and risk, and be a catalyst for operational efficiency.”
In the public sector, AvePoint works with 400 customers in federal civilian agencies, state and local government, intelligence and defence agencies, government contractors, education, and the public health sector. These, says Briggs, have several specific needs when it comes to data management and security that are optimised by working with AvePoint.
Enabling digital success
AvePoint’s commitment to excellence and innovation has seen it provide exceptional solutions that empower customers for more than two decades. Countless organisations have used its products to simplify collaboration, secure their digital workplaces and unlock their true potential across industries ranging from the public sector, healthcare and life sciences, and energy and utilities, through to manufacturing, retail, and financial services.
Briggs highlights several success stories, including recent work with a large US government financial agency to successfully automate its cloud migration, fully complying with government records mandates and data retention policies. This strategic move reduced migration times, ensuring minimal disruption to operations and secure adoption of Microsoft 365.
