AvePoint enhances hiring, cutting production time up to 66% and more with Microsoft Copilot

AvePoint has always been at the forefront of innovation, helping organizations embrace the future of work with confidence while upholding the highest standards in data security and governance. With a portfolio of 25,000+ customers across 100+ countries, the company needed a force multiplier to drive even greater success at scale. In partnership with Microsoft, AvePoint turned innovation into action, harnessing Microsoft 365 Copilot and GitHub Copilot to unlock new levels of productivity, customer experience and business growth. 

Transforming work lives across various departments, including marketing, finance, and more

In a global organization like AvePoint, work always moves around the clock. With teams spread across time zones and responsibilities running deep, the pressure to stay responsive and productive can be overwhelming. Committed to supporting its employees, AvePoint set out to take some of the weight off, returning something even more precious.

Time is a company’s most valuable resource, and Microsoft Copilot is giving it back. Seamlessly integrated into daily work, Copilot acts like a personal assistant for every department, lightening the load and helping people reclaim up to three hours each week to invest in work that truly moves the organization forward:

• Marketing teams accelerate message development, cutting production time up to 66% and unlocking more time for strategy and mentorship.

• Content teams reduce initial storyboard development from two hours to just 30 minutes, freeing up time for more impactful creative work.

• Finance teams automate data extraction in Excel, transforming raw numbers into insights that drive business decisions.

• Leaders gain real-time visibility into team collaboration, uncovering trends and improving engagement.

• Hiring teams streamline hiring by uploading resumes and job descriptions into Copilot to extract key skills and generate tailored interview questions, shortening hiring timelines while ensuring top-tier, bias-free candidate selection.

Laura Morales, Customer Success Manager at AvePoint, emphasizes how her workday has changed: “Before, on Monday mornings, I was sipping my coffee while facing an avalanche of emails, meeting invitations, Teams messages and urgent tasks. Now, I generate quick summaries of my weekend backlog, so I can start my Mondays feeling informed and prepared.”

Nicole Caci, Director of Content and Communications at AvePoint, adds: “Copilot helped us reduce the time it took to hire top talent, allowing us to conduct high-quality interviews and build a high-performing team.”

“Copilot is transforming the way we work. It’s elevating how we think, collaborate and make decisions at every level,” continues Dux Raymond Sy, Chief Brand Officer, AvePoint. Nicole adds, “Copilot has significantly improved our efficiency, allowing us to produce high-quality content in a fraction of the time”.

Unleashing potential and developing without limits

For many at AvePoint, Copilot ignites a journey of both personal and professional growth. "As I work with Copilot, I realize it empowers me to be more strategic and creative," says Phoebe Magdirila, Content Marketing Team Lead at AvePoint. "It’s not just changing how I work; it’s changing how I think about my career and the value I bring to our customers and partners."

AvePoint is driving new advancements with Copilot and Azure OpenAI, developing custom AI-powered assistants to enhance AI's capabilities. "Beyond Copilot, we've created our own custom AI assistant, ChatAVPT, which can integrate data from various sources, even outside the Microsoft ecosystem, offering a comprehensive 360-degree view to assist our support teams," says Dux.

AvePoint has also extended its use of AI to customers with Ava, a self-service support assistant that has reduced support response times and improved issue resolution efficiency, helping customers find answers faster.

Ensuring security for confident innovation

Copilot is built on a comprehensive approach to enterprise-grade security and inherits the policies set up in Microsoft 365, ensuring security for confident innovation, which empowered AvePoint to innovate with confidence.

"Data is the fuel of AI. If it’s not governed, AI can’t deliver its full potential. We made sure Copilot had the right foundation. The synergy between Copilot and AvePoint’s Confidence Platform, which acts as a protective layer, allows Copilot to drive real impact while maintaining the highest security standards, says Dux Raymond Sy.

Accelerating code development, cutting time to market with GitHub Copilot

Looking ahead, AvePoint is committed to pushing boundaries and empowering more organizations worldwide to harness AI securely and efficiently.

"Our journey with Microsoft was about more than adopting new tools – it was about solidifying our role as a trusted advisor in AI integration," explains Dux Raymond Sy.

AvePoint is expanding GitHub Copilot’s role across its operations to further enhance efficiency and innovation, accelerating software development, reducing time to market and improving developer productivity.

Quality assurance is another key focus. GitHub Copilot is being integrated into QA processes to detect coding issues, improve accuracy and streamline debugging and documentation. The goal is to enhance software reliability while freeing developers to focus on innovation.

"With Microsoft, we will continue to transform our business, enabling our teams to focus on creative initiatives and higher-value work. We expect even more of our team to benefit, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and staying at the forefront of technological advancements,” concludes Dux Raymond Sy, Chief Brand Officer, AvePoint.
