WOBURN, MA– April 4, 2011 – Axceler, the leader in Microsoft SharePoint administrationand migrationsoftware, today announced that Commonwealth Financial Network®has selected Axceler’s ControlPoint administration software to better manage its dynamic SharePoint environment. Based in Waltham, MA, Commonwealth Financial Network is the nation’s largest, privately held independent broker/dealer in the United States.
“As our SharePoint environment has grown rapidly, we needed more than just the out of the box monitoring/auditing capabilities that SharePoint provides. After intensively evaluating several solutions, in our opinion ControlPoint was by far the easiest to use and implement while being the most robust of all comparable products. Having these tools at our fingertips has helped us gain a better window into our growing environment. As a financial firm, ControlPoint aids us in fulfilling the ever changing compliance and regulatory demands. Daily housekeeping tasks such as targeting duplicate data, removing orphaned domain user accounts or tracking user activity at a granular level went from being arduous tasks to incredibly efficient,” said Amar Singh, SharePoint Systems Engineer and Developer for Commonwealth Financial.
Singh says that Commonwealth Financial Network will be upgrading from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010, and is using ControlPoint to align their 2007 environment in an effort to ensure a smooth, efficient and timely upgrade. ”We have started the information gathering process by leveraging ControlPoint’s reporting capabilities to tell us where we are and where we need to be,” Singh added.
