Modernize and Save: Consolidate Technology with AvePoint’s FedRAMP-Compliant Solutions
Public sector agencies face a pressing challenge: modernizing outdated technology while protecting sensitive data amid rising cybersecurity threats and shrinking budgets. Legacy systems that are scattered across aging servers and disjointed software consume resources and increase risk. The answer lies in consolidating your technology into existing investments like Microsoft 365.
AvePoint, a proven leader in data security and management, offers solutions tailored to the public sector’s unique needs. Our AvePoint Confidence Platform is FedRAMP (moderate) authorized, GCC High and Department of Defense Impact Level 5 (DoD IL5) ready, meeting the rigorous security and compliance standards government agencies demand. This blog explores the essentials of modernization for the public sector including timelines, technical considerations, and the costs and benefits of a secure transition.
Estimated Timeline for Migrations
Migrating to a modern platform requires careful planning to ensure minimal disruption and full compliance. The timeline depends on data volume, system complexity, and security protocols.
Here’s what public sector agencies can expect:
- Small agencies. For systems with less than 1 TB of data, migrations typically take four to six weeks.
- Large agencies. Complex environments with 10+ TB of data may require several months.
AvePoint, in partnership with Cadence Solutions, streamlines migration from legacy systems like OpenText, OnBase, and Laserfiche with automated batch processing and built-in error handling. Our solutions ensure a seamless transition to Microsoft 365, keeping projects on track while meeting FedRAMP’s strict compliance standards. With comprehensive planning and validation, organizations can modernize their information management efficiently, enhancing security, reducing costs, and eliminating the risks of outdated systems.
Technical Considerations: Security and Compliance
Security and compliance are the cornerstones of public sector technology decisions. FedRAMP sets a high standard for cloud services, and AvePoint’s solutions are built to meet and exceed it. Key features include:
- Data encryption. Data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, aligning with FedRAMP’s cryptographic mandates.
- Access controls. Role-based permissions and multi-factor authentication protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.
- Audit capabilities. Comprehensive logging and post-migration audits provide transparency and support FedRAMP’s continuous monitoring obligations.
With the AvePoint Confidence Platform, agencies gain end-to-end support, from pre-migration assessments to post-migration checks ensuring compliance at every step. This focus on security makes AvePoint a trusted partner for government modernization.
Costs and Benefits: Efficiency and Savings
Modernizing with a FedRAMP-compliant solution delivers measurable value to public sector organizations:
- Reduced costs. Moving to SharePoint Online eliminates the need for costly legacy hardware and fragmented software licenses, freeing up budget for mission-critical priorities.
- Improved efficiency. A consolidated platform streamlines data access and collaboration, cutting down on time-consuming manual tasks.
- Enhanced security. FedRAMP compliance reduces the risk of breaches, avoiding the high costs of non-compliance or data loss.
AvePoint’s automation tools further lower migration costs by reducing manual effort and ensuring precision. The result? Faster savings and a stronger, more secure technology foundation.
