Axceler, Inc. was a software firm that specialized in governance, administration, and migration solutions tailored for Microsoft SharePoint and Lotus Notes. Established in 1994 in Woburn, Massachusetts, the company supported a client base exceeding 2,000 organizations worldwide.
On August 28, 2013, Metalogix Software acquired Axceler's SharePoint-related assets from its parent company, PowerTools Inc. This transaction encompassed products such as ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration, ControlPoint for SharePoint Migration, and ControlPoint FileLoader. Meanwhile, the division dedicated to IBM Notes collaboration technologies was restructured into a separate company called ViewDo Labs.
Products
The premier offering from Axceler was ControlPoint for SharePoint Administration, a solution designed to manage governance and administration across SharePoint platforms—whether deployed on-premises, in the cloud, or within hybrid environments—featuring built-in governance policy controls.
Axceler also developed two migration utilities for SharePoint: ControlPoint for SharePoint Migration (previously known as Davinci Migrator) and ControlPoint FileLoader, both aimed at streamlining the transfer of Windows file shares into SharePoint repositories.
In 2012, the company introduced ViewPoint, an enterprise collaboration governance platform compatible with systems including SharePoint and Yammer.
ControlPoint received multiple accolades such as the Best SharePoint Product award in 2009 by Windows IT Pro, the 2011 Best of Connections award for SharePoint products, and was honored with the Windows IT Pro Editors' Best Choice distinction.
