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.
