AvePoint Launches Office 365 Migration and Management Software Donation Program for Not-for-Profit Organizations through TechSoup

Company announces AvePoint Philanthropy initiative to impact humanity and drive change through technology, community, and education

Jersey City, New Jersey — April 26, 2017 — AvePoint, the Microsoft Cloud expert, today announced a new software donation program to support qualifying not-for-profit organizations in North America with solutions for Office 365 migration and management. The donation program is run in partnership with TechSoup, a global not-for-profit organization offering transformative technology solutions to improve lives globally and locally, and is part of AvePoint Philanthropy, which also supports community and education initiatives around the world.

“As not-for-profit organizations and charities adopt Office 365, we want to help them spend less time on data migrations and management, and more time focusing on their core mission,” said Dux Raymond Sy, Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Technology Officer, Public Sector, at AvePoint. “We’re thrilled to partner with TechSoup for this donation program, launch AvePoint Philanthropy, and give back to causes that are making the world a better place in 2017 – a year that I’ve personally declared the year of ‘tech for good.”
