Next generation solution enables customers to better manage information, reduce costs and improve efficiencies

AvePoint, the most advanced platform to optimize SaaS operations and secure collaboration, today announced the launch of AvePoint Opus, its AI-powered information lifecycle management solution, at #shifthappens Conference 2023. As part of the AvePoint Confidence Platform’s Resilience Suite, AvePoint Opus is a comprehensive solution that enables organizations to discover, classify, protect and manage their data across Microsoft 365 accurately and at scale.

AvePoint Opus is a robust information lifecycle management solution that ensures organizations can manage all stages of the data lifecycle and represents the next generation of AvePoint’s Resilience solutions. A key component of AvePoint Opus is AvePoint Maestro, which uses AI models powered by Azure Machine Learning to analyze content and metadata and assign appropriate policies to documents.

With AvePoint Opus, organizations can now achieve the following:

• Manage Information and Ensure Compliance: Automatic data classification, powered by AI, helps reduce the risks associated with information over-retention or accidental data deletion to meet compliance standards.
• Optimize Cloud Storage: Specific rules ensure organizations meet retention and disposal requirements to reduce excess cloud storage costs, so that organizations maintain greater control over their budgets.
• Streamline Processes: Automatic records management removes time intensive work, allowing organizations to focus on higher value projects and speeding time-to-value for organizations seeking data-driven insights.

“Organizations today are excited about the power of AI and machine learning to transform business, but to truly unlock this technology, they need a comprehensive data strategy that will accurately analyze, govern and classify their data,” said Dr. Tianyi Jiang (TJ), Co-founder and CEO, AvePoint. “AvePoint Opus provides a solution that is automated and capable of learning over time, allowing organizations to manage the troves of data they produce today to build that data foundation, maintain compliance and reduce storage costs.”

AvePoint Opus uses an AI model that rapidly identifies and classifies content in weeks, as opposed to years if done manually. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau, for example, has already benefitted from this efficiency.

“AvePoint has always had a modern information management solution, which allows the Australian Transport Safety Bureau team to seamlessly integrate recordkeeping and compliance as part of their responsibilities,” said Angelo Santosuosso, IT, Property & Security at the Australian Transport Safety Bureau. “New capabilities within AvePoint Opus will enhance our organization and we look forward to continuing to work together.”

In addition, by integrating more AI capabilities, AvePoint’s channel partner ecosystem will be equipped with smarter, more automated tools to manage and protect their clients’ data and collaboration environments.

“With the rapid growth of cloud data, our customers are experiencing a host of information management challenges,” said Jacqueline Stockwell, CEO and Founder, Leadership through Data Limited. “AvePoint Opus and its industry leading AI-powered data classification capabilities helps us empower our customers to better manage their information, minimize cloud storage costs, improve efficiencies and truly thrive in the digital workplace.”

AvePoint has a track record of innovation spanning more than 20 years, aimed at providing solutions that democratize insights and provide recommendations and comprehensive protection for customers and partners. Built upon a robust data management strategy, AvePoint Opus is one of many AI-powered solutions the company plans to introduce.
