Our History
From a public library to publicly traded, AvePoint’s history is one of persistence and innovation.

Beyond Secure. AvePoint Secure.
Our Evolution
In 2001, our founders were busy preparing to bring our first product to market — a backup solution for Microsoft's email service, Exchange. Shortly after, their focus quickly turned to providing a backup solution for a new Microsoft product that offered site-based collaboration: SharePoint 2001.
Our Journey
From backup solutions to the global leader in data protection — explore the milestones that shaped AvePoint.

2024
AvePoint continued to enhance its offerings and industry presence. We expanded our FedRAMP (moderate) authorization to include three new products, bolstering our support for the public sector. Our inaugural AI and Information Management Report highlighted that organizations with mature information management strategies are 1.5 times more likely to realize the benefits of their AI deployments. We introduced new analytics capabilities and first-to-market benchmarking for Microsoft 365 Copilot, enabling organizations to measure and optimize their AI adoption and usage patterns. Enhancements to our Microsoft 365 workspace management solution, MyHub, evolved our comprehensive data security, governance, and resilience capabilities within the AvePoint Confidence Platform. Additionally, we launched Cloud Backup Express to accelerate secure data protection, and opened an AI Lab in Singapore to drive industry-focused innovation. AvePoint was honored to be named to Inc.'s Annual List of Best Workplaces and received the Global Microsoft Partner of the Year Award for the sixth time, reflecting our commitment to excellence and innovation.
