Jersey City, NJ (PRWEB) June 02, 2016 -- AvePoint, the Microsoft Cloud expert, announced today that it has won the 2016 Microsoft Partner of the Year Award in Technology for Good Citizenship due to its work with Microsoft and the International Organization for Migrations (IOM) to develop 6Degree.org, the first-ever Azure-based crowd funding portal to help human trafficking victims in ASEAN countries. Its third consecutive years Microsoft Partner of the Year Award – including wins in 2015 for Collaboration and Content and 2014 for Public Safety and National Security – AvePoint continues to be recognized for excellence in innovation and implementation of solutions based on Microsoft technology.
“With nearly 21 million victims of human trafficking– one-third of which are children – and only 3,000 cases reported to authorities annually, AvePoint, Microsoft, and IOM saw a clear opportunity to use technology to combat a serious global issue,” said Dr. Tianyi (TJ) Jiang, AvePoint Co-CEO and Co-Founder, AvePoint. “It was an honor to collaborate on a solution that fights back against human trafficking while supporting victims in need of help, and we greatly appreciate Microsoft’s recognition through the Partner of the Year Award for Technology for Good Citizenship.”
Awards were presented in several categories, with winners chosen from a set of more than 2,500 entrants from 119 countries worldwide.

Users can also follow the journey of each trafficking victim through an interactive map built on top of Microsoft’s Bing Maps.
