The AvePoint Global Family

I am truly grateful for the AvePoint global family,  represented by more than 800 employees in 17 offices across 5 continents, not to mention all the 50+ field engineers and enterprise sales folks located outside of our main office hubs and locations.  In my travels to visit our customers and partners worldwide, I am always touched by our local AvePoint staff’s dedication and professionalism.  One really poignant case recently that clearly illustrated the superior character of our staff is my experience traveling to Japan during the massive earthquake on March 11th.  My flight to Tokyo from Los Angeles was supposed to land on Friday afternoon, but due to the massive quake, I was diverted to Sapporo.  The captain informed us of the devastation, and how Tokyo was also hit hard by the natural disaster.  Clearly anxious and worried, I IM’ed our Tokyo office as soon as I landed to make sure everyone was OK.  To my delight, not only were all of our 20+ Tokyo employees safe and sound, but they were – and continue to – work and help our customers in the aftermath of the largest recorded earthquake in Japanese history.  
 

All the negatives of the natural disaster aside, I have witnessed for myself in just a few short days how Japan stands on top of the world in handling this crisis. I’ve seen individual Japanese citizens truly shine as world-class human beings by helping each other cope and find comfort through this chaotic situation.  I am particularly proud of our Japan team members’ acts of bravery and professionalism during the big quake of March 11th as well as the aftermath.  Our employees stayed in the office through the entire night following the earthquake while still handling customer trouble tickets from Osaka.  And due to significant reduction of train services, many of our employees had to spend the night in our office.  The entire team stayed together, even those who lived within 10 minutes walking distance to the office stayed overnight to support rest of the team.  While just one week later the situation is still tenuous given the numerous 6.0+ aftershocks and the unfolding events at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant , we still have Japan team members visiting customers and carrying on business as usual. These selfless acts exemplify why I’m consistently proud of our AvePoint global family – our unique work ethic and dedication to our job and our colleagues sets AvePoint apart. These are the key ingredients behind our meteoric eight consecutive years of exponential growth both in revenue and in employee count. 
 
We are no longer the two-man shop of 2001 when SharePoint was simply referred to as the “Lake Tahoe project”. We are truly a global family now – as the sun never sets on AvePoint – and this enables us to be the enterprise-strength SharePoint ISV making a real impact in the global SharePoint market.  We stand tall, on the shoulders of our dedicated family of employees around the world that consistently serve our customers diligently and with the utmost professionalism.
 
I am proud to be a part of AvePoint, and I am immeasurably proud of our global AvePoint family.
