Case Study: Park Nicollet achieves robust SharePoint data protection and compliance with AvePoint DocAve

Park Nicollet Protects Vital SharePoint Data And Meets Compliance Objectives With DocAve®

Park Nicollet Health Services, a Minnesota-based integrated care system, relied heavily on SharePoint to support a major electronic medical records (EMR) upgrade and daily collaboration. Because SharePoint’s native tools couldn’t provide the granular auditing, scheduled backups, or fast recovery required for HIPAA and PCI DSS compliance, administrators needed a third-party solution to protect critical content, track user activity, and streamline audit reporting.

Using AvePoint’s DocAve platform (Auditor, Backup & Restore, and Migrator via their TSM integration), Park Nicollet implemented customizable automated reports, scheduled full‑fidelity backups (including metadata, security, and version history), and item-level restores. The solution empowered compliance and recovery teams to run their own reports and restores, cut restore times from hours to minutes, and delivered the reliability and scalability needed to meet compliance objectives and support future SharePoint growth.
