It’s every business’s worst fear: data loss. And we’re doing it on purpose.

Microsoft Power Platform is revolutionizing how we get work done. Its insights help you make more informed decisions, and its apps and automation help you drive efficiencies and productivity, saving time, money, and manpower. The catch? All of it can be gone in a blink of an eye if you don’t have the right protection in place.

Back by popular demand, the latest installment of our webinar series “Watch Us Lose Data” answers the question: “Do you really need a backup for Power Platform?” by highlighting common ways users and admins can find themselves in sticky situations…and how you can prevent them.

Watch Us Lose Data: Power Platform Edition

A rapid and necessary rush to the cloud boosted productivity for many companies during the pandemic. Despite this progress, a crossroads remains: Businesses must protect their critical assets, and employees need a seamless digital experience that promotes flexible, easy collaboration from anywhere.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how SaaS management solutions from AvePoint support a modern and agile approach that supports safe, user-empowered productivity.

Safe Cloud Productivity Requires SaaS Backup & Data Protection

As more people use Microsoft 365 collaboration tools, their organisations increasingly face a perfect storm of troubles: broad employee access to sensitive information, unwanted exposure, and digital spaces (such as Teams) that aren’t locked down properly. It’s critical to know WHO has access to WHAT, as well as WHEN and HOW they accessed it — and to alter the affected settings and permissions to protect your data. 

Tune into this webinar session to delve into tactics with which you can investigate these (and more) potential risks in your M365 environment, as well as:
• How AvePoint’s self-service, personalised risk assessment report can deliver long-term value and identify mission-critical issues that affect your business.
• The broader capabilities of our Policies & Insights (or “PI”) solution
• And how PI proactively monitors and remediates policy violations in M365.

M365 Policy Violations: How to Monitor and Remediate Risks

Operational governance can be seamless and easy with the right approach.
How many collaborative workspaces has your organization created in M365 since deployment? 1,000, 10,000, 0? Between Teams, SharePoint sites, and Groups, leveraging M365 for productive collaboration has never been easier.

However, as your organization continues to increase its activity in M365 how can you protect your investment and implement operational governance into an already released tool? The path to effective governance begins with optimization of your M365 environment, sustaining ongoing management, and effective lifecycle management. When these strategies are utilized correctly, you can empower your users and reduce IT burden, leaving technology to do the work for you.

Join us as we discuss how you can implement operational governance in bite-size chunks without creating another major change management project. Learn how you can get the most out of your M365 environment without limiting business potential.

You’ve deployed M365, now what?

Maximising investment in Microsoft 365 and securing collaboration in Microsoft Teams can be one of the most challenging tasks for local councils.
In this webinar, we’ll share real-life examples and practical tips from leading councils who are on both sides of the journey.

- Why and how they moved to M365
- The journey from on-premises to the cloud
- Key lessons in procurement, implementation and project launch
- How to maintain compliance to PROV/NAA
- Outcomes and recommendations

You’ll also have the opportunity to get your questions answered by Roger, David and our industry experts from Microsoft and AvePoint.

Local Council’s Top Lessons Learnt on the Journey to Microsoft 365 Success

A Guide to Building Your Azure Disaster Recovery Blueprint

Intelligently design data protection into your modern workplace transformation plan.

The move to the cloud and hybrid work has presented organizations with a unique set of shifting challenges. Employees may find that the tools given to them to enhance the quality and effectiveness of their collaboration are susceptible to human error or, in some cases, malicious attacks.

Join us in this webinar to learn how to guide your team to identify these vulnerabilities, mitigate risks, and ensure workloads are protected and easily recoverable. Learn the key functionalities to have in a recovery tool and get peace of mind that your system is protected against worst-case scenarios.

A Guide to Building Your Azure Disaster Recovery Blueprint

Archiving. Content Lifecycle Management. Records Management.

These business processes and their requirements all differ in one way or another, but the thing they have in common is the need to address content over time where it lives at that moment. Whether it’s in the original store or where something’s been moved, we need the ability to retain, dispose, and recover both through automation and at will.

What happens when these processes overlap? What happens when you need in-place records declaration, removal to long-term storage, and rule-based disposal/recovery from the archive?

For a long time, the answer has been separate solutions aimed at each process, despite those solutions being very similar in what they do. Plainly put, the more similar processes we can execute in a single solution, the better.

Join us for a 30-minute AvePoint Cloud Records virtual lab where we’ll discuss:

- How Archiving and Records Management come together
- Recent updates to Cloud Records that support this requirement
- A sneak peek into what’s coming in a future update, to continue to support a streamlined content lifecycle experience

Manage Your Data Wherever It Lives, With One Solution

In 2012 the Prime Minister recommended a Royal Commission inquiry into institutional responses to child abuse. The Final Report, released in 2017, made five record keeping recommendations, including one specific recommendation that non-government schools be required to comply with minimum standards.

Join experts from Ricoh and AvePoint in a 45 min webinar to uncover:

- The 5 Records + information management requirements for schools
- Why is this a problem for schools and the potential impact on them?
- How you can implement a compliance solution leveraging M365

Exploring the obligations for school record keeping, what you need to know

Integrating the three layers of Microsoft 365 security—identity, data, and workspaces—may seem like a straightforward enough task, but the details are tricky to tease out.

For example, did you know that external access to SharePoint, Groups, and Teams in M365 is switched on by default? This setting spells trouble for access restriction policies for FINRA regulations, conflicts of interest within a firm, or ITAR compliance, for example.

But rest assured, this webinar will help you navigate Microsoft Collaboration security and enhance compliant user access.

Microsoft 365 Access Security: Which Tool to Use When

Smarter approaches to external sharing, security audits, permission reviews, lifecycle management, restore requests, and other tedious tasks.

How much extra value could you or your team provide your organisation if you were given an entire day each week to work on passion projects?

Probably a lot more than approving Team provisioning requests or restoring deleted files all day.

Through our work with thousands of organisations, we’ve taken an inventory of the most common, tedious admin tasks. We will show you a variety of strategies for automating them and the time you can expect to save so you can build the business case for change to present to leadership.

We will cover tasks related to:

• Optimising your admin permissions and relationships to delegate work, without inappropriately giving up the keys to the castle.
• Common security audit processes such as ISO 27001
• Managing the provisioning, life and managed disposition of a Team
• Answering end user item restore requests
• And more!

MSPs: Deliver Enhanced Data Protection and Security to Your M365 Customers

Backing up Microsoft 365 is a risk and value-based decision, but calculating the right course of action can be very difficult!

Organisations need to not only understand how to assess their risk of data loss and assign value to their data, but they then must calculate the value of different data protection approaches and vendors.

Our experts will walk you through how to make this determination for your specific organisation across 5 different layers of analysis.

While this will be a Microsoft 365 centered discussion, the takeaways will be applicable to most SaaS platforms including Dynamics 365, Salesforce, and Google Workspace.

5 Ways to Calculate the Value of Microsoft 365 Backup

Steps to Securing Collaboration in the World of Remote Work

With the average company using 137 SaaS apps to date, SaaS spend is on the rise—up by 50% since 2018. And while SaaS apps serve as a cornerstone of today’s hybrid work productivity, they also create troublesome security issues.

Given the sheer number of services available, IT teams struggle to keep pace with maintenance and the cyber risks taking advantage of SaaS vulnerabilities—especially for free apps you may be unaware users are downloading.

So, how can you approach securing this veritable riptide of SaaS collaboration apps from a constructive perspective?
