Critical Needs
- Client visibility over data access
- Governance over customers’ rapidly growing data estate
- Accelerated adoption of AI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot for customers
- Clear presentation of risk factors to clients for informed decision-making
The Challenge
Netrix Global's customers face significant challenges in managing their rapidly expanding data estates, particularly with the advent of generative AI technologies like Copilot. The primary concerns revolve around data security, governance, and ensuring that sensitive information is adequately protected and accessible only to authorized personnel. As Kevin Walter, Field CTO at Netrix Global, explains, "With generative AI, it's all about the data, where their data is and who has access to it. Preparing customers for things like Copilot means helping answer those questions because a lot of times their data estate has grown so quickly, it's out of control."
AvePoint’s tools do a really good job of presenting that in a visual way to help the customer make an informed decision. Being able to present the information to them that the AvePoint tools give us has helped us accelerate their adoption of tools like Copilot and security tools that help remediate the underlying issues.
