<p>Soarsoft Africa, a specialist of archive, migration, messaging and collaboration solutions, and distributor of Metalogix solutions in southern Africa, has announced Metalogix's acquisition of Axceler's highly successful and profitable SharePoint business, including the industry's most powerful and widely used governance and administration product, ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration. The acquisition of Axceler's related products, employees, assets and brands positions Metalogix as the fastest-growing SharePoint-focused independent software vendor (ISV) in the world.</p><p>"As two of the leading global SharePoint vendors, Metalogix and Axceler had highly synergistic product sets, and joining forces will enable them to offer a more complete offering. As local distributors of both product sets prior to the merger, we are well positioned to offer the South African market comprehensive local presence, support and training from a single vendor. We will also be able to offer a single solution with an expanded range of options to our customers, which makes sound financial sense and further assists to simplify the complexity of SharePoint tasks and management," says Chris Hathaway, Director at Soarsoft Africa.</p><p>The addition of ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration to Metalogix's market-leading portfolio of content infrastructure software establishes the company as a single source supplier of premier products for the management of the entire SharePoint life cycle. The expanded Metalogix product portfolio delivers expanded visibility and proactive control over enterprise SharePoint environments.</p><p>It also enables customers to effectively manage the increasing scale of SharePoint deployments, explosive growth in business content and the need to mitigate security risks. ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration enables organisations to easily manage their SharePoint platforms and enforce governance strategies that protect business assets, while driving employee adoption and productivity. The ControlPoint family of offerings, which have won more than a dozen awards, are used by more than 3 000 organisations worldwide to manage more than 14 million SharePoint users.</p><p><a href="http://pressoffice.mg.co.za/soarsoftafrica/PressRelease.php?StoryID=243148">Keep reading...</a></p>
