SharePoint toolset nominated for award

A Microsoft Office SharePoint specialist has been nominated for an industry award in recognition of its toolset for the platform.

Management and administration specialist Idera Products has been named among the finalists in the Best of TechEd 2009 Awards by Penton Media's Windows IT Pro and SQL Server Magazines for its Idera SharePoint admin toolset.

The company has been nominated in the productivity and collaboration category and has been chosen from over 200 products reviewed by the judges.

Rick Pleczko, president and chief executive of the company, says it is "honoured" that the value of its SharePoint products has been recognised.

"This nomination is especially gratifying because after leading the market in SQL Server administration and management, this past year we expanded to provide similar offerings for SharePoint and PowerShell," he comments.

The company also offers the SharePoint backup tool, which provides users automatic recovery for site collections and search capabilities.
