SharePoint Search, Analysis & Control

IT is embracing Microsoft SharePoint™ as a simple answer to a host of business information problems. However, your SharePoint farm can quickly become difficult to manage, as sites proliferate and become a nightmare for administrators, a problem that may not be solved with SharePoint alone. Some of the most common problems administrators face today include: uncontrolled growth of sites and site collections, not enough SharePoint administrators to support the growth of sites or site collections, limited awareness of the scope and nature of their SharePoint environment, and the need to manage users and site centrally. Even worse, some sites are growing so quickly that security permissions can be inaccurate, leading to security gaps that could expose confidential or even harmful information.

 

Introducing ControlPoint

ControlPoint, the newest management tool from Axceler, gives you the ability to search, analyze
and ultimately control your Microsoft SharePoint environment. ControlPoint helps establish better
control over site security through comprehensive permissions management. ControlPoint also
allows you to analyze and enforce the governance policies you’ve put in place, bringing order to outof-
control SharePoint sites and site collections. With ControlPoint, you now have the ability to identify
and limit the growth of maverick sites, as well as the ability to manage those sites within your own
department, so you can restore order before your environment gets away from you. ControlPoint also
lets you quickly identify administrative problems with robust site search so you can find what you’re
looking for and, even better, act upon it.
