AvePoint can even allow you to set policies in stone to prevent people from breaking permissions in Office 365. This way, you can control who can share documents with whom, and who has access to what.
With AvePoint Complete, governance and compliance are automated. This way, you can not only apply policies that control settings and permissions in your Office 365 environment, you can control what kind of content can exist in your environment- where it’s ok to have sensitive information- and where it’s not.
