Hamburg, 2009-12-02 - Layer2, the SharePoint Experts from Hamburg (Germany) announced a strategic partnership with Axceler, the global leader in administration software for Microsoft SharePoint. Layer2 will resell and implement ControlPoint, the award winning SharePoint administration product, giving SharePoint administrators the ability to explore, protect, analyze and control their SharePoint environments.
Microsoft SharePoint technology is increasingly used in SMEs and larger companies as a business collaboration platform for the enterprise and the web, to connect and empower people, to cut costs with a unified infrastructure to implement solutions for collaboration, document management, enterprise content and records management, business intelligence, forms service and company-wide search. However due to its success, SharePoint farms can quickly grow and become difficult to manage, as sites proliferate.
Together, the two companies will help enterprises to install, upgrade, deploy, maintain, manage and optimize their Microsoft SharePoint environments.
"Axceler ControlPoint perfectly fits into our portfolio of add-ons that unleash the power of SharePoint technology. Customers can cut costs of SharePoint administration, can build a smarter SharePoint infrastructure and ensure compliance to corporate governance policies" Frank Daske, Business Development Manager of Layer2, appreciates the partnership.

Earns four out of five stars
"Has strong tools for managing large deployments"
Axceler is pleased to announce its SharePoint administration tool ControlPoint earned high marks in a recent review in trade publication Windows IT Pro. In the review, ControlPoint received praise in helping administrators manage larger deployments.
Among other features, reviewer Curt Spanburgh found the ability to move sites and site collections within ControlPoint "very helpful." He noted the "robust" alerting system made him aware of "urgent issues like deleted sites and broken security inheritance" immediately.
Spanburgh also liked ControlPoint's ability to find and report 'orphaned users' (users who have content access rights but have been disabled or removed from AD) and the "comprehensive" site reports. Further, ControlPoint's "ability to manage user permission levels is nicely implemented."
According to the review, ControlPoint's interface "integrate[d] well with the existing SharePoint user interface." And while the "intuitive" ControlPoint interface allows new administrators to perform important operations, ControlPoint also has powerful functionality that can only be fully realized by experienced SharePoint administrators.
