Metalogix has acquired Axceler’s SharePoint governance and administration product, ControlPoint to enhance its offerings for management of the entire SharePoint lifecycle. ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration enables organisations to enforce governance strategies and is in use at over 3000 organisations worldwide to manage more than 14 million SharePoint users. 

“ This investment is another milestone in our strategy to provide customers the best-of-breed content infrastructure software to deploy, operate and protect their Microsoft SharePoint platform, on-premise or in the cloud,” said Steven Murphy, CEO of Metalogix. 

“SharePoint customers can now buy the premier migration, administration, storage optimization, and replication technology from a single source – Metalogix.”

Michael Alden, CEO of Axceler, said “SharePoint administrators are increasingly seeking single-source technology providers who can provide exceptional technology and offer comprehensive, global 24x7 support. The integration of Axceler’s SharePoint business with Metalogix is a natural evolution of the market and will drive significant value for those managing contemporary SharePoint environments.”

Axceler’s non-SharePoint business will continue to operate independently supporting solutions for Lotus Notes, Yammer and other collaboration platforms.
