Case Study: Lauren achieves 70% faster SharePoint setup, major storage reduction, and activity reporting with AvePoint DocAve

Lauren® Saves 70 Percent of Time Required to Implement Microsoft® SharePoint® User Settings, Reduces Platform Storage, and Reports on Activity with DocAve®

Lauren, a national engineering, procurement and construction firm, deployed Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 to manage heavy documentation across hundreds of project sites. Rapid growth created administrative challenges: they needed to report on and manage permissions and security across the farm, automate applying site templates instead of using error-prone STSADM commands, archive exploding document versions to avoid hitting SharePoint storage limits, and provide activity reports for management.

Lauren implemented AvePoint’s DocAve (Administrator, Archiver, Auditor) with AvePoint services. DocAve cut time to implement site settings and permissions by 70% and eliminated manual errors, archived more than 75% of project-site data off SharePoint while keeping content seamlessly accessible to users, and delivered comprehensive permissions and activity reporting—improving performance, storage efficiency, and governance.
