Develop & Enforce SharePoint Governance Policies

SharePoint farms can quickly become difficult to manage as sites proliferate and become a nightmare for administrators. Some of the most common challenges administrators face today include: poorly managed permissions leading to security gaps, deployments that quickly become time-consuming to manage, limited view into the status of the SharePoint activity, uncontrolled growth of sites and site collections, and no ability to manage the increasing set of site administrators.

ControlPoint, the leading SharePoint administration product, gives powerful control with comprehensive SharePoint security, move and copy content capabilities, SharePoint reporting and in-depth SharePoint analysis.

Join us to learn how Axceler ControlPoint can enforce your SharePoint Governance policies. Whether you have SharePoint 2007 or SharePoint 2010, you can benefit from attending this event.

Time: Tuesday February 28, 2012 – 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
