DODLINK

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 Hersquos been running his divisionrsquos collaboration infrastructure for the last two years

SharePoint is a critical underpinning to the organization Itrsquos used for all project management workflow amp 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 budgetpressures to keep costs down Steven needed a way to get the entire team of eight IT administrators up to speed and fast

ldquoThe way ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration integrates with the SharePoint object model is fantastic it provides a seamless experience like no other tool Itrsquos like Irsquom still inSharePoint but with new capabilities Wersquore saying yes to projects we couldnrsquot even have considered doing before using ControlPoint for SharePoint Administrationrdquo

Stevenrsquos 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 ldquoAs soon as I saw the tool I thought Axceler will save me from writing over 200 scriptsrdquo And he wasnrsquot disappointed ldquoWe started to realize savings the first day ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration was installedrdquo

Rapid ROI It turns out Axcelerrsquos ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration has done a lot more than save time ldquoIn the first four months of using the product we received a return on our investment Whatrsquos most exciting is the ways the tool continues to show value in unexpected ways Wersquove done more than save time we do things now that we simply wouldnrsquot have done beforerdquo explains Steven

This has been especially true around auditing amp governance For example Stevenrsquos team was asked to provide a list of all documents for which a particular person had access within the last 90 days ldquoBefore we would have had no choice but to say no ndash we canrsquot do thatrdquo explains Steven ldquoBut now we can say yes With ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration we can respond to the inquiry using a simple report with almost instant resultsrdquo

Steven further points out ldquoControlPoint 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 ldquoFor example we have been able to build in access owner permissions levels for people who donrsquot need permission to the data but need to know who has access to what We couldnrsquot do this before and instead routed everything via email ndash it was difficult to maintain and hard to changerdquo

Steven gives us another example ldquoThe 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 informationrdquo

Disaster recovery made 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

potentially lose data or administrators would have to spend hundreds of hours trying to restore the entire system

ldquoWe 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 whomrdquo A relieved Steven tells the happy tale ldquoThen 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 neededrdquo

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
