Axceler is promising expanded SharePoint policy enforcement capabilities are achievable with ControlPoint 4.2, the latest version of the SharePoint governance software.

“ControlPoint helps companies with their SharePoint governance by giving them powerful capabilities to analyse, report, and manage their SharePoint deployments.

“ControlPoint 4.2 goes one step further by bringing more interactive and engaging SharePoint reporting based on Microsoft Silverlight,” said Michael Alden, President and CEO, Axceler.

“With this release, Axceler gives even more control to SharePoint managers as a critical part of a SharePoint governance plan.”

New reporting capabilities based on Silverlight include the ability to manipulate report data, create custom views and generate graphical and tabbed reports.

It offers analysis of SharePoint 2010 Managed Meta Data usage in lists/libraries, and policies to intercept user actions like creating content so managers can prevent them before they happen. There are also enhancements for permissions and security including support for claims-based authentication.
