WOBURN, Massachusetts, September 23 /PRNewswire/ --

- Features Enhanced Analysis of SharePoint Activity and Site Usage

Axceler, the global leader in administration software for collaborative
platforms, today announced ControlPoint 2, the next major release of one of
the fastest growing administration tools for Microsoft SharePoint.
ControlPoint 2 tightly integrates permissions management and usage analysis
with the powerful ability to make critical changes immediately. In addition,
ControlPoint 2 includes streamlined navigation, detailed trend analysis, a
vastly improved interface, and new capabilities that allow you to ensure
consistent appearance and behavior across your entire farm.

"Axceler did a great job of building on SharePoint to create a very
powerful tool for exploring, analyzing, and taking administrative actions in
a variety of SharePoint contexts. Axceler also has extensive experience in
the Notes/Domino market so they are very familiar with real-world
collaboration/content management administration modus operandi and
challenges, and ControlPoint 2 reflects that expertise," said Peter O'Kelly,
Principal Analyst at O'Kelly Consulting, "ControlPoint 2 complements
SharePoint in fundamental ways from which all enterprise SharePoint
administrators could benefit."

Using ControlPoint 2, you gain a better understanding of exactly what is
happening in your SharePoint environment, whether you are looking for trends
across your farm, across Web applications, within site collections, or just
at the site level. ControlPoint 2 gives you detailed information so you can
now analyze historical data as well as real-time information, vastly
improving your management visibility. ControlPoint 2 lets you drill into user
and document activity so you can monitor what documents are being accessed
the most and who is accessing them.

Analysis and search results are now tightly integrated with actions,
making it easier to identify problems and act on them immediately. Typical
actions include setting, duplicating or deleting permissions, setting site
properties, deleting sites, or adding users to a group. ControlPoint 2 also
has a new interface so you can collect better information and navigate
quickly throughout farms. New controls make it significantly easier to use
and include right-click, drag and drop, multiple selections, collapsible
sections and context menus.

"With this release, Axceler demonstrates our growing momentum in the
SharePoint marketplace," said Axceler President Michael Alden. "Our goal is
to provide customers with extensive visibility and insight into their
SharePoint environments and give them the ability to make changes easily."
