Axceler launches Sharepoint administration software

Axceler, a leading provider of administrative software for collaborative platforms, has announced its latest product for use with Microsoft Sharepoint.

ControlPoint 3 offers new capabilities to allow users to be more proactive about their Sharepoint administration, including as alerting, moving sites, policy management and scheduled analysis.

Axceler claims that ControlPoint 3 can help avoid the impact and costs of violating governance policies by thinking ahead and putting a best-of-breed SharePoint infrastructure in place.

The product automatically alerts users when any changes are made in their environment, such as Sharepoint permissions or adding and deleting sites.

Karen Floyd, from City of Charlotte in New York, said: "With ControlPoint, I feel better knowing about any changes in my environment immediately. Now I can react appropriately before problems can fester."

The software is the latest in a range of products from Axceler for the administration of Sharepoint farms, which it says can quickly become difficult to manage as sites proliferate and become a nightmare for administrators.
