Case Study: Oasis Community Learning accelerates SharePoint Online deployment by seven months with AvePoint DocAve Online

Oasis Community Learning Accelerates Microsoft® Office 365 SharePoint® Online Deployment by Seven Months with DocAve® Online

Oasis Community Learning, a UK-based education charity supporting nearly 5,000 staff across 11 countries, moved to Office 365 but ran into SharePoint Online management and protection limits. Native retention and restore capabilities risked permanent data loss, and reproducing site collections from templates was slow and error-prone—taking up to four days per site and putting a 47-site deployment at an estimated nine months.

Oasis adopted DocAve Online, a SaaS backup and management platform, to enable item-level, full‑fidelity restores with metadata, centralized administration, and policy enforcement. As a result, the team provisioned 47 site collections in two months instead of nine, improved recovery times, avoided £40,000 in hardware costs, and simplified ongoing governance and administration.
