AvePoint’s DocAve Software Platform named a silver medal winner for Best SharePoint Product

AvePoint (NASDAQ: AVPT), the global leader in data security, governance, and resilience, announced today that its DocAve Software Platform was named a silver medal winner of the “2013 Community Choice Awards” in the Best SharePoint Product category by Penton Media’s Windows IT Pro magazine.

“It’s an honor to receive a Windows IT Pro Community Choice Award. These awards are especially meaningful because of the people who are doing the nominating and the voting – the actual community of which we are a part of and serve every day,” said Dr. Tianyi (TJ) Jiang, Co-CEO and Co-Founder, AvePoint. “Being voted for by our customers and others in the industry is a strong validation of our mission at AvePoint – to provide the most robust solutions possible for governance, compliance, and management of social enterprise collaboration platforms.”

According to Windows IT Pro, the 2013 Community Choice Awards represent the cream of the crop in the various markets the magazine covers.

“Participation in our 2013 Community Choice awards was excellent,” said Jason Bovberg, Senior Editor at Penton. “Our Windows IT Pro, SQL Server Pro, and DevPro awards programs are unique in that the product-nomination process is open to readers. We don't just present a predefined list of products and services, thereby limiting scope. Instead, the community both nominates and votes for the best products of the year, ensuring a nice breadth of inclusion in the surveys. Our winners have earned a unique honor to stand out among their peers as winners of our Community Choice Awards.”
