Bonus Webinar
Can’t wait until the first March webinar premieres? You’re in luck! Delve into Cloud Backup with our brand new webinar premiering February 28th:
Cloud Backup: Delegate Access to Restore Capabilities & Meet Your New Virtual Assistant
Ready to learn how to delegate access to recovery capabilities and use AvePoint Virtual Assistant?
Service Engineer Kevin Kong walks you through the Cloud Backup interface and shows how to create and delegate restore capabilities in Office 365.
Why You Need To Delegate Restore Capabilities
Office 365 backups are handled by global or enterprise administrators. However, lower-level admins or power-users who should not have access to all data are often relied on to process data recovery requests.
With AvePoint Cloud Backup’s new feature, you can now go beyond native Office 365 and strictly delegate management access to a subset of data for select services in Office 365.
Meet AVA! Chatbot for End User Item Restore Requests
AvePoint Virtual Assistant (AVA) is our recently released Chatbot, which is integrated within Microsoft Teams to help find and recover content. Want to reduce IT burden while keeping the same security level? Your end-users can now save time and effort by restoring data via our chatbot.
