Axceler, a provider of Microsoft (News - Alert) SharePoint governance, administration, and migration software solutions, has introduced the ControlPoint 4.5, the latest version of its management product for SharePoint.

The company will demonstrate the ControlPoint 4.5 at the Microsoft SharePoint Conference 2011 (booth No. 530), scheduled to be held Oct. 3 to 6, at the Anaheim Convention Center.

The newest ControlPoint 4.5 release has been designed with new capabilities to extend enhanced support to managers who handle their on-premise SharePoint environments as well as in the cloud. Leveraging ControlPoint 4.5, managers can benefit from increased control over their SharePoint environments as it allows them to automatically reduce and eliminate non-compliant tasks. Furthermore, managers can better manage SharePoint in Office 365, are able to make informed decisions via the intuitive dashboards, and can effectively clean up their SharePoint environments before and after migration.

In a release, Michael Alden, Axceler's (News - Alert) president and CEO, said, "SharePoint governance is not just about products, but about a broad process that involves effective policy management at multiple levels of an organization. And just as SharePoint continues to evolve, ControlPoint's capabilities have expanded to help our customers improve all aspects of their SharePoint governance. Enterprises are looking to solve specific SharePoint governance problems and want the flexibility to choose the best solutions available in the market. Therefore our focus continues to be helping organizations gain control over their SharePoint environments using our award-winning products and leveraging our community of expert partners."

Delivering multiple advantages across all SharePoint deployments, ControlPoint 4.5 has been designed to help establish automatic SharePoint governance via advanced governance capabilities which help enterprises establish pre-determined policy compliance and provide SharePoint governance for Office 365 for organizations that have partly or completely moved their SharePoint environment to the cloud. The new ControlPoint 4.5 makes it easy for managers to make informed SharePoint decisions via an intuitive dashboard which has been designed with advanced reporting capabilities which enables effective evaluation of KPIs.

The SharePoint management team is better focused and more alert as ControlPoint 4.5 prioritizes administrative activities and automates governance tasks so organizations can avoid expensive disruptions or damages and addressed administrative issues, which can help bring down total cost of ownership and support increased deployment. The ControlPoint 4.5 can help in the prevention of security breaches as it delivers automatic alerts to managers on any form of non-compliance in addition to boosting end-user adoption as it can identify sites that are either not in use or unsuccessful thereby improving them for end-users. Additionally, it can lower the demands on the SharePoint infrastructure as fewer resources are required for extending increased control over deployment.
