The Cloud facilitates a fundamental business need for users to work and collaborate from anywhere, at any time,” said Steve Fox, Director, Microsoft Corp. “Built on Windows Azure, AvePoint’s DocAve Online enhances global collaboration, increases productivity, and optimizes enterprise IT costs for organizations utilizing Office 365 – SharePoint Online.”

Simplified Office 365 – SharePoint Online Management: Centralized administration and management of SharePoint permissions and configurations allow for streamlined control over Office 365 – SharePoint Online.
