Case Study: DVB Bank achieves twice-as-fast SharePoint management and 25% reduced admin time with AvePoint DocAve

DVB Bank SE Manages Microsoft ® SharePoint® Twice As Fast As Previous Solution On & Slashes Administration On Time By 25% By Switching To DocAve®

DVB Bank SE, a Frankfurt‑based specialist in international transport finance, used SharePoint (MOSS 2007 / SharePoint 2010) as a central collaboration and contract‑management platform for about 250 users (growing to ~450). Administrators faced a slow, unintuitive third‑party management tool and needed simpler cross‑site permissions management, rapid recovery of lost content to meet SLAs, and automated deployment of SharePoint customizations.

DVB replaced the previous solution with AvePoint’s DocAve suite (Administrator, Backup & Restore, Deployment Manager, Content Manager), gaining a faster, more intuitive management console that performed twice as fast, allowed permission cloning across sites, automated deployments without PowerShell, and restored documents in minutes. The change cut administration time by about 25% (roughly two hours per day), protected critical data to meet SLAs, and provided ongoing 24/7 support.
