AvePoint chose to use Microsoft Azure for three main reasons: 1) Azure allows AvePoint to reduce security costs while maintaining flexibility, access, and control over their solutions. 2) Azure provides faster performance when communicating with Office 365 services compared to AWS. 3) The adoption of Microsoft's cloud is key to AvePoint's success given their focus on Office 365 and SharePoint solutions.
