Tech Data has expanded its collaboration with AvePoint to bring Microsoft 365 data management solutions to more areas in Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ).
 
AvePoint's services will now be offered in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia, in particular. 
 
To deliver additional value for companies, reseller partners can add AvePoint's Confidence Platform - a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that offers a range of solutions to manage the complete data lifecycle in Microsoft 365 - to their offering. 
 
“As the cloud market continues to grow rapidly, with 65.9 percent of application software spending projected to be for cloud technologies by 2025 – up  from 57.7 percent in 2022 – this partnership with AvePoint is both timely and strategic for Tech Data,” said Mark Tan, vice president and country general manager of Singapore at Tech Data.
 
“AvePoint’s solutions are a great complement to our existing Microsoft cloud portfolio, enabling us to offer partners and resellers a one-stop solution that goes beyond productivity and cyber security.”
 
Tan went on to say that the distributor will also give consultancy and managed services to "enable and equip" its reseller partners as they serve clients.
 
Tech Data's Centre of Excellence will also play an important role in helping reseller partners to go-to-market with add-on products including data security, Microsoft Teams management, and safeguarding Microsoft 365 with zero trust frameworks. 
 
AvePoint's platform is currently hosted on Azure and available in 15 worldwide data centres, backed by 24/7 support to ensure Microsoft 365 operational efficiency and data sovereignty.
 
"AvePoint facilitates the migration of businesses to Microsoft 365, while ensuring that their data is protected, and collaboration is secured within the cloud. We are thrilled to partner with Tech Data and are confident that we will benefit from their vast global ecosystem of technology providers and partners.”
