AvePoint was honored among a global field of top Microsoft partners for demonstrating excellence in innovation and implementation of customer solutions based on Microsoft technology.

"At AvePoint, we believe that empowering organizations to safely and effectively use technologies in the Microsoft Cloud, including Copilot for Microsoft 365, is the cornerstone of a more productive and innovative workforce," said Dr. Tianyi Jiang (TJ), CEO and Co-Founder, AvePoint. "As part of our dedication to harnessing the transformative potential of AI, we've collaborated with partners and customers in the education sector to upskill and educate lifelong learners, while making sure AI is governed in a socially responsible way. That way, we're ensuring positive and personalized outcomes for every learner."

The Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards recognize Microsoft partners that have developed and delivered outstanding Microsoft Cloud applications, services, devices, and AI innovation during the past year. This year's awards were classified in various categories, with honorees chosen from over 4,700 nominations from more than 100 countries.

AvePoint was named a 2024 Education Microsoft Partner of the Year winner for its AI-powered MaivenPoint edtech platform which fuels transformative learning solutions.
