A AvePoint Case Study
Zedi Inc., a Calgary-based oil and gas software and services provider, relied on Microsoft SharePoint for document management and business processes but found SharePoint’s native protection inadequate as usage and content grew. Network Administrator Dean Greenhorn needed fast, granular, full‑fidelity restores for users (even beyond the 90‑day recycle bin) and a simpler way to migrate a heavily customized MOSS 2007 environment to SharePoint 2010.
Zedi implemented AvePoint’s DocAve Backup and Restore and DocAve Migrator, enabling item‑level recovery with full fidelity in one minute (98% faster than the previous hour-long process), recovery of content past the recycle‑bin window, and a streamlined migration that saved about one month versus database reattach. The solution preserved metadata and revision history, allowed content reorganization during migration, and gave the team confidence that nothing was lost.
