Axceler SharePoint Governance Products Now Available On GSA Schedule 70

Government Agencies Now Have Access to Leading SharePoint Administration and Migration Products

Axceler, the leader in Microsoft SharePoint administration and migration software, recently announced its continued expansion into the federal government market through its partnership with IT Federal Sales and the addition of Axceler products to its General Services Administration (GSA) schedule (under contract #GSA is GS-35F-0494T). Now, government agencies can significantly improve their SharePoint security and governance by using Axceler's ControlPoint or migrate their old deployments to the latest SharePoint version using Davinci Migrator 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 enforcement capabilities 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.

"ControlPoint, a leader in SharePoint administration and control, will definitely enhance any SharePoint installation," said Paul Cino, President of IT Federal Sales. "Our clients, especially in DOD, are looking for this solution. We're excited to add Axceler products to our growing list of unique products available to US Government buyers."

"We're pleased to make Microsoft SharePoint solutions, and our firm's unique professional, training and maintenance services, available through the GSA program," said Michael Alden, President and CEO, Axceler. "Being accessible on the GSA Schedule 70 reduces the procurement challenges our government clients face, and gives them the ability to resolve critical SharePoint security challenges quickly, efficiently and economically. This reflects our long history of successful collaboration with government entities."
