Why “one comprehensive, M365-deep platform” is the whole story
SaaS data has to be protected, governed, secured, migrated and managed, yet most organisations run a patchwork of point tools to do it. AvePoint bet on one comprehensive data-management platform with deep Microsoft 365 expertise — protection, governance, security, migration and records management in one place.
Resilience (Cloud Backup, Opus)
Cloud Backup gives independent, ransomware-resilient backup for M365/Google/Salesforce; Opus classifies, retains and defensibly disposes of records.
Control (Governance, Insights)
Cloud Governance controls M365 creation, access and lifecycle to prevent sprawl; Insights finds and fixes over-exposed data. Prevention plus remediation.
Modernization (Fly)
Fly migrates with high fidelity into, between and across M365, Google and Power Platform, including M&A tenant-to-tenant and cross-platform moves.
Microsoft 365 Depth
AvePoint has long led Microsoft 365 data management, so its M365 backup, governance, access, migration and records coverage is thorough — and most data lives in M365.
One Platform, Not Point Tools
The Confidence Platform unifies protect, govern, secure, migrate and manage, so SaaS data management comes from one listed vendor, not a patchwork of point tools.
Start with the need — protect (Cloud Backup), govern (Cloud Governance), secure (Insights), migrate (Fly) or records (Opus) — one Confidence Platform.

Every term on these pages, in one place- Confidence Platform
- AvePoint's data-management platform, in three suites: Resilience, Control, Modernization.
- Resilience suite
- Protect & preserve — Cloud Backup (SaaS backup) and Opus (records/information lifecycle).
- Control suite
- Govern & secure — Cloud Governance (M365 governance) and Insights (access-risk analytics).
- Modernization suite
- Migrate & adopt — Fly (cloud/SaaS migration) and related.
- Shared responsibility
- SaaS providers keep the service running; YOU protect your data. Why you need Cloud Backup.
- M365 sprawl
- Uncontrolled proliferation of Teams/sites/Groups — chaotic, insecure, non-compliant. Cloud Governance controls it.
- Permission sprawl
- Tangled M365 access no one understands — hidden risk. Insights reveals and remediates it.
- Tenant-to-tenant (T2T)
- Migrating between M365 tenants (M&A, divestiture) — a common, complex scenario Fly handles.
- Defensible disposal
- Deleting content at end-of-life via a documented, auditable process — meeting DPDP's storage limit (Opus).
- Bring-your-own-storage
- Storing Cloud Backup data in your own Azure/AWS/GCP — for cost and data residency.
- NASDAQ: AVPT
- AvePoint's stock ticker — publicly listed and accountable since 2021.
- Immutable backup
- A backup that can't be altered/deleted — resists ransomware, so you can always restore a clean copy.

The licensing cheat-sheet
| Product | Licensing model | How you enter | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud Backup | Subscription — by users/volume across SaaS platforms | Independent, immutable SaaS backup | Protect M365/Google/Salesforce data |
| Cloud Governance / Insights | Subscription — by M365 users/scale | M365 governance (Gov) & access-risk (Insights) | Control M365 sprawl & access risk |
| Fly | Subscription / per-migration / project quote | Cloud/SaaS migration (high fidelity) | Cloud adoption, M&A, platform switch |
| Opus | Subscription — by users/content volume | Records management & information lifecycle | Retention, defensible disposal (DPDP) |
Subscription by users/volume or M365 scale, per-migration for Fly — TechBag models the right mix for your size.
Five pitfalls that cost buyers quarters
Assuming Microsoft 365 backs up your data
Under shared responsibility, protecting M365 data is your job and recycle bins aren't backup. Without independent backup, deletion, ransomware or corruption can lose data for good.
Letting Microsoft 365 sprawl ungoverned
Unchecked creation of Teams, sites and Groups produces chaotic, insecure, non-compliant sprawl. AvePoint Cloud Governance controls creation, access and lifecycle.
Not knowing who can access your data
M365 permissions sprawl until nobody knows who can access what. AvePoint Insights shows the over-exposure and fixes it; you can't secure what you can't see.
Migrating with basic tools (data loss)
Basic migration tools lose metadata and permissions and disrupt users, especially in M&A tenant-to-tenant moves. AvePoint Fly migrates with high fidelity at scale.
Keeping all data forever (a liability)
Hoarding data costs money, widens breach and e-discovery exposure, and breaks DPDP's storage-limitation rule. AvePoint Opus enables defensible disposal.

Category momentum — estimated market growth
Illustrative CAGR synthesis**Directionally consistent with public analyst forecasts; verify exact figures before quoting. The takeaway: data security / access governance compounds fastest — exactly where AvePoint (Insights + Cloud Governance) is placed, atop a backup & governance base.
SaaS data protection (shared responsibility)
As work moves to SaaS like M365, more teams realise providers don't back up their data; that's the customer's job.
What it means for you
AvePoint Cloud Backup gives independent, ransomware-resilient SaaS backup — your side of the deal.
Microsoft 365 governance & sprawl control
M365's easy collaboration leads to sprawl — organisations increasingly need governance to keep it organised, secure and compliant.
What it means for you
Cloud Governance controls M365 creation, access and lifecycle: self-service without sprawl.
Data access risk & DSPM
Understanding and remediating who can access sensitive data (data-access governance / DSPM) is a growing security priority.
What it means for you
AvePoint Insights finds and fixes M365 over-exposure and access risk at scale.
Cloud migration & M&A
M&A, cloud adoption and platform switches drive constant cloud-migration needs — which must be done reliably and faithfully.
What it means for you
AvePoint Fly migrates at scale with high fidelity, including M&A tenant-to-tenant.
Data-protection compliance (DPDP)
India's DPDP Act and GDPR require controlled access, retention limits on personal data, and evidence.
What it means for you
Governance, Insights and Opus support DPDP: controlled access, retention, defensible disposal.
Platform consolidation over point tools
Organisations increasingly prefer integrated platforms over patchworks of point tools for their SaaS data management.
What it means for you
One Confidence Platform for protect, govern, secure, migrate and records, from one vendor.
