Case Study: Canadian Cancer Society achieves automated Office 365 governance for 2,000+ users and volunteers with AvePoint's DocAve Online

Canadian Cancer Society Automates Microsoft® Office 365 Governance Policy Enforcement for 2,000 Users and Volunteers with DocAve Online®

The Canadian Cancer Society, a national community-based non-profit, moved to Office 365 and SharePoint Online to centralize document storage and collaboration for employees and volunteers. As usage grew, native SharePoint Online tools couldn’t meet its needs for automated governance, comprehensive reporting, and flexible backups—creating risks around unauthorized permissions, visibility into activity, and data recovery.

The Society implemented DocAve Online, a 100% Azure-hosted SaaS that enforces custom and out-of-the-box policies, monitors sites 24/7 with alerts for unauthorized changes, generates detailed security and usage reports, and performs cloud backups with fast, granular restores. The result: automated governance across more than 2,000 users and volunteers, clearer visibility into the SharePoint environment, reliable backups without full rollbacks, and improved control and recovery as the organization expands Office 365 use.
