European SharePoint Conference (#ESPC16) 2016 is almost here! Taking place from November 14-17 in Vienna, Austria, #ESPC16 will bring together more than 2,000 IT pros, developers, and business decision makers from across Europe to learn from the world’s leading SharePoint thought leaders. With hundreds of sessions and plenty more related activities happening around the event, you’re going to be plenty busy in Vienna!

Management
New capabilities in AvePoint Online Services automate governance and lifecycle management of Office 365 Groups and users – quickly provisioning and de-provisioning approved services for business users, saving time for administrators, and ensuring organizational policies are met.

We also recently introduced AvePoint Online Partner Services for our partners who provide managed services for Office 365 customers. With this addition, partners access a portal to better manage client deployments using AvePoint Online Services.

Protection
Take a risk-based approach to protecting your IT systems with DocAve Governance Automation provides with access to a single governance system that allows businesses to easily manage the latest SharePoint versions under a centralized platform.
