The use of collaboration
platforms has spread like
wildfire—which has led  
to a lack of visibility and  
control by IT.In response, 
CIOs have locked down environments,limiting what can be
used and how.But these constraints stifle collaboration and kill  
innovation.Axceler’s solutions give organizations the visibility
and control they need to embrace collaboration.And here’s the
paradox: control creates independence.With insight across
their collaborative platforms,organizations can assess risk and
comfortably enable users to exchange ideas and expertise. 
Users can pick the best collaborative experience to get their
jobs done faster.Innovation can thrive.

Enterprise collaboration
Risksandrewards
Collaboration is your biggest opportunity.
Everyone knows that enterprise collaboration drives innovation. 
And employees are clamoring to collaborate,for three good reasons:
It’s easy
Your employees have access to tons of collaborative 
tools.Manyare free,theyare simple to use,and theygo viral. 
And guess what? There’s no drain on IT’s budget 
and resources.
It’s social
Social media is the newwayto work.In fact,social media is 
earning its place as a primarycommunication tool–alongside 
email,portals,and intranets.
It’s BYOD
Employees love their devices–smartphones,laptops,tablets, 
and PDAs–and theywant to use them at work.Or when they’re 
not at workbut want to access your applications and networks.
Collaboration is your biggest challenge.
Unchecked collaboration makes for a lackof corporate visibilityand control.
That creates huge headaches for companies large and small,because:
It’s risky
Sayyou’ve been audited.Can you trackand prove who has access to which
collaborative platform? Howthey’re using them? And what about content
compliance?
It can damageyour reputation
Your internal communications could go to the wrong recipient,including one
outsideyourcompany.Thesamegoesformessagesaboutproblemcustomers,
employee performance,and HR issues.Clean up is messyand costly.
It can cause IP leaks
Yourcompanies’plans,secrets,andalgorithmscanendupinthewronghands.
Andhere’sthething:breachesareoftencausedbynegligentinsiders,not 
maliciousintruders.Infact,39%ofbreachesarecausedbyslackers,nothackers.

The inner workings of the Department of Defense (DoD) are a well-kept mystery, 
but we do know one thing for sure.The DoD is a complex organization where  
collaboration is truly mission critical.Steven,Technical Lead at a DoD installation, 
understands this better than anyone.He’s been running his division’s collaboration  
infrastructure for the last two years.
SharePoint is a critical underpinning to the organization.It’s used for all project  
management,workflow & alert management,resource scheduling,even a master  
repository of asset links.
Reduce time to SharePoint effectiveness
But with only one dedicated SharePoint administrator on staff and on-going budget 
pressures to keep costs down,Steven needed a way to get the entire team of eight IT  
administrators up to speed and fast.

saying yes to projects we couldn’t even have
considered doing before using ControlPoint for
SharePoint Administration.”

Steven’s team reached out to Axceler because they were  
looking for something that could quickly get the entire admin
team,including those not familiar with SharePoint,up to
speed and scaling SharePoint management capabilities. 
Saving time was essential.After the first demo Steven was
hooked.“As soon as I saw the tool I thought,Axceler will save
me from writing over 200 scripts!”And he wasn’t disappointed.
“We started to realize savings the first day ControlPoint for
SharePoint Administration was installed.”
Rapid ROI
It turns out Axceler’s ControlPoint for SharePoint  
Administration has done a lot more than save time.“In the  
first four months of using the product we received a return on
our investment.What’s most exciting is the ways the tool  
continues to showvalue in unexpected ways.We’ve done more
than save time,we do things now that we simply wouldn’t
have done before,”explains Steven.
This has been especially true around auditing & governance.
For example,Steven’s team was asked to provide a list of all
documents for which a particular person had access within the
last 90 days.“Before we would have had no choice but to say
no–we can’t do that.”explains Steven,“But now we can say
yes.With ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration we  
can respond to the inquiry using a simple report with almost
instant results.”
Steven further points out,“ControlPoint for SharePoint  
Administration has really impacted how we think about  
governance.For the first time we can be really proactive about  
enforcing policies.
Powerful permissions management
Even something as important as permissions management
has been enhanced.“For example,we have been able to build
in access owner permissions levels for people who don’t need
permission to the data,but need to know who has access to
what.We couldn’t do this before and instead routed everything
via email–it was difficult to maintain and hard to change.”
Steven gives us another example.“The auditing capabilities of
ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration also help us to  
remove personnel from SharePoint that have moved to other
installations.Those users keep the same email address and
could otherwise have still been referenced in SharePoint  
workflows that send sensitive information.”
Disaster recoverymade simple
ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration has even been
used to lessen the impact of SharePoint concerns unrelated to
governance and administration,such as disaster recovery. 
After suffering a problem with content DB crawler it was  
determined the best course of action was to roll back to a  
previous point in time.Going back in time meant users would
28

potentially lose data,or administrators would have to spend hundreds of hours trying
to restore the entire system.
“We needed to restore to a point before the data corruption.This is very disruptive to
users.Who wants to tell them they are going to lose data? But to restore the entire  
system would take hundreds of hours.Then it hit me,we could run a report in  
ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration and get a list of everything that was
changed and by whom.”A relieved Steven tells the happy tale,“Then all we had to do
was back up and restore those individual items separately.And we knew who had the
changes so we could verify that the documents were right.Forget hundreds of hours of
work or potential data loss.In five hours users had a seamless experience,no data was
lost and we rolled back to where we needed.”
Instead of hiring new resources,the DoD is using existing resources more efficiently by
leveraging ContolPoint for SharePoint Administration.In addition to the obvious time-
savings,these examples illustrate how ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration has
enabled the team to be more proactive with their SharePoint governance policies
while keeping within tight budget constraints.
29
“ControlPoint for SharePoint  
Administration has really impacted
howwe think about governance.
For the first time we can be really
proactive about enforcing policies.”

Customer
Polypore is a leading worldwide developer,manufacturer,and marketer of highly  
specialized polymer-based membranes used in separation and filtration processes.The  
company’s products and technologies target specialized applications and markets that  
require the removal or separation of various materials from liquids—materials that
range in size from microscopic to those visible to the human eye.
Challenge
Although Polypore has a global presence,the company has a very small IT department
that is charged with managing its SharePoint environment.To meet business objectives
with limited resources,the company knew that it needed a powerful SharePoint  
management solution. Specifically,the company sought a product suite that would  
help them:
•
Maintain up-to-date information on all of Polypore’s products

Enable a small team to manage a large quantity of content  

easily and in a consistent manner  
•
Ensure the company’s compliance with internal and  

SOX audits 
•
Maintain an audit trail for end users,which relieves IT from  

manually keeping track of content location post-migration 
•
As Brian Gough,SharePoint Administrator,explains,“Given  

our global operations and the volume of data we manage, 

we needed a SharePoint management solution that could do 

some heavy lifting.”
Solution
Polypore chose Axceler’s ControlPoint family of products to
manage its SharePoint environment.The company chose  
Axceler because the products got top marks in the areas that
were most important to Polypore:
•
Providing visibility into the SharePoint environment  
•
Quality of software  
•
Ease of use for IT and admins  
•
Governance enforcement compliance  
•
SharePoint security  
•
Quality of user interface  
•
Time and cost savings 
•
Customer support
Says Gough:“Axceler got high marks across the board. 
We liked their very aggressive product release cycles and their
super responsive support team.”
Benefit
With Axceler’s ControlPoint product family,Polypore is  
now able to: 
•
Maintain complete control: Polypore uses ControlPoint for  

SharePoint Administration to control SharePoint  

permissions and usage.As Gough explains,“We have a lot of  

features turned off in our environment.Site owners cannot  

create subsites.Nobody gets to use SP designer. 

ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration gives us total  

control who gets access to what.” 
•
Migrate sites without riskor hassle: The company uses  

ControlPoint for SharePoint Migration to move and organize 

documents and simplify their site structure.Says Gough,“The 

site structure we had was very deep and Axceler’s solutions  

helped us reorganize and flatten it.In one department we  

used to have 30 subsites; now we have one subsite with 30  

libraries.” Plus,as Polypore migrates content,users can  

always see where their content resides.
37

•
Quicklyand securelymove files: Using ControlPoint  

FileLoader,the company moved content from files shares  

into SharePoint.“This tool really sped up the process,”says  

Gough.“It also enabled us to maintain a secure and concise  

audit trail to ensure minimal-to-no loss of data.We now have 

complete transparency.” 
•
Better visibility: With Axceler’s solutions,Polypore has deep  

insight into its SharePoint environment.Says Gough,“ 

Everyone benefits from the increased visibility.I benefit  

because it’s much easier for me to see what’s happening in  

my farm and to enforce policies.Our departments benefit  

because I can help improve performance for my end users.” 
•
Lower costs: With Axceler’s solutions,Polypore is  

consolidating content from many servers globally to very  

few–and that spells big cost reductions in terms of servers  

and licensing.
But the biggest benefit may come at an emotional level.As
Gough explains,“With Axceler’s solutions in place,I can get a
report on a user’s permissions in 30 seconds.I can’t tell you
how long that used to take. Axceler helps preserve my sanity.
Now that’s priceless!”

The business challenge
Since its founding more than 100 years ago,Hogan Lovells has grown into a major  
international law firm,with over 1,100 lawyers practicing in 27offices around the globe.
During the last century,the firm’s communication and collaboration challenges have
grown in step with its own expansion and the ceaseless advance of technology.Today,
Hogan Lovells uses SharePoint as a platform for sharing information,coordinating
work,and delivering timely,critical data to its lawyers and staff around the world.
Ajay Wanchoo,Director of Solutions Architecture and Development at Hogan,leads a
development team that maintains the SharePoint infrastructure,establishes design
standards,and creates the templates and web parts used by content owners and site  
administrators across the firm.Given Hogan Lovells’s global presence,Wanchoo faces
the challenge of gaining a single point of visibility and control for the SharePoint  
environment.“I need a strong reporting capability in order to see what is going on at
any point in time,and to assess trends over time,”Wanchoo says.

ControlPoint’s granularity.“We really liked the idea of having
the ability to control all of the elements in our SharePoint  
environment.Yes,we like to see things at a high level,but we
also like to be able to drill-down to see the detail.”They also
chose ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration for its  
general reporting and site-migration capabilities.
Taking Advantage of ControlPoint
Wanchoo values the at-a-glance information he can get with
ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration.“Storage analysis
is particularly useful,”he said.“Another plus for us is being able
to see where web parts are being used,and who’s using them.
We do a lot of custom development,so being able to keep
track of this is very important for us.”Wanchoo also values the
ability to provide selective access to the sub-sites,so that  
personnel can monitor the activity in their areas.“Being able to
pick and choose who can do what gives us the best of both
worlds.We get to maintain central control where needed,yet
still empower local managers to better take care of their own
sub-sites.”
The Results
“From the reporting perspective alone,ControlPoint has really
been a time saver for us,”noted Wanchoo.The SharePoint  
system administrator on his team uses ControlPoint regularly
to replicate permissions and do cleanups.“We only have one
SharePoint administrator,”Wanchoo added,“And from a pure
productivity standpoint,being able to easily and efficiently  
take care of these tasks has truly enabled us to work more  
effectively.As you can imagine,our environment is very fast-
paced and demanding,so this is a major benefit for us.”
Overall,ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration is proving
highly beneficial to Wanchoo and his team.“If I were to put my
marketing hat on,”he said,“I’d have to say that ControlPoint is
a fabulous tool for SharePoint administration.It really will  
simplify things for you,no matter what your SharePoint  
environment is.It’s really no exaggeration to say that selecting
ControlPoint is a big no brainer.”
