AvePoint Enhances Its Elements Platform

AvePoint rolled out four core enhancements to its Elements platform on Tuesday, aimed squarely at managed service providers (MSPs). The new features include integrated licensing via distributor portals, continuous risk-user monitoring for insider threats, automated license reallocation and centralized storage archiving with self-service restore options. These refinements are part of AvePoint’s broader push this year -- following its Ydentic acquisition and earlier March and April releases -- to position Elements as a comprehensive hub for MSPs seeking to shift from traditional reselling toward managed services.

This update arrives as MSPs increasingly confront cyber threats and clients' cost pressures. According to recent MIT Technology Review findings, over 30 percent of small-to-mid sized businesses suffered cyber incidents in the past year, and 75 percent are seeking streamlined, scalable vendor management. By embedding these insights, the platform better aligns with those trends.
