Now, government agencies can significantly improve their SharePoint security and governanceby using Axceler’s ControlPointor migrate their old deployments to the latest SharePoint version using DavinciMigrator for SharePoint 2010.
SharePoint users are increasingly putting sensitive, highly regulated data in the collaboration platform without considering the security implications. In addition, the native management tools in some versions of SharePoint are difficult to use for some types of deployments. Nowhere is this more important than in the government space, with strict regulatory requirements, big defense initiatives, and evolving security threats. The recent appearance of sites like “Wikileaks” that exploit security breaches demonstrates how important SharePoint security is to government agencies.
To fill this gap, many government organizations turn to Axceler’s ControlPoint, the award-winning SharePoint governance and administration product. The latest release 4.2 of ControlPoint, the award-winning administration product for SharePoint, offers interactive and powerful analysis and reporting, expanded SharePoint policy enforcementcapabilities for better SharePoint governance, and new permission and security features. Now, through the partnership with IT Federal Sales, all Axceler products including ControlPoint are accessible on the GSA Schedule.

Axceler Introduces FileLoader For Microsoft SharePoint 2010
WOBURN, MA – May 3, 2011 – Axceler, the leader in Microsoft SharePoint administration and migration software, today introduced FileLoader for SharePoint 2010, a new SharePoint product that enables IT managers to quickly and easily move files originally stored in Windows file shares into SharePoint 2010. Using FileLoader for SharePoint 2010 brings many of the benefits of SharePoint to Windows file shares, including: one standard platform for sharing files, improved version control, workflow capabilities, document retention abilities, improved search results, tighter security, and better access control. When used with the leading SharePoint administration product, ControlPoint, to analyze and manage SharePoint usage and security, FileLoader for SharePoint 2010 can help bring rogue data files into a broader SharePoint governance initiative. FileLoader for SharePoint 2010 will be demonstrated for the first time at an upcoming webinar, Thursday, May 5, 2011 at 2 PM and is available immediately from Axceler.com.
"Many enterprises are seeking the benefits of SharePoint 2010 but have large amounts of content stored in Windows file shares without any sense of organization or structure,” said Michael Alden, President and CEO, Axceler. “One of the most common reasons companies delay a migration to SharePoint 2010 is because of the need to move key content from file shares that may have been around a long time. Enterprises also ask for the ability to analyze and structure this content to work with the new Managed Metadata Service capabilities of SharePoint 2010, and we are excited to expedite the migration to SharePoint 2010 with this product.”
FileLoader for SharePoint 2010 finally gives organizations control over their vast number of shared documents and files. Unique to FileLoader is its ability to create Microsoft Excel ‘control files’ that represent the file shares, allowing administrators and users to work together to clean up their file shares and apply metadata. The benefit is that managers can reorganize folder structures and distribute responsibility of content to stakeholders who know the content best.
