Case Study: City of Bellevue, WA achieves secure governance of 18,000 SharePoint site collections with Metalogix ControlPoint (Metalogix Software)

The City of Bellevue Secures Sensitive Content Across 18,000 Site Collections with Metalogix ControlPoint

The City of Bellevue, WA faced a complex SharePoint 2007→2010 migration and subsequent “SharePoint Clean-Up Project” to manage sprawl across 18,000 site collections and 1,500 users. Manual PowerShell scripts and out-of-the-box tools left the city with poor visibility into permissions, difficulty enforcing retention policies, and exposure to potential litigation and fines. To address these challenges they deployed ControlPoint from Metalogix Software.

Metalogix Software’s ControlPoint provided a single console to inventory site collections, clean up permissions, enforce records-retention policies, delegate governance, and apply policy-based site templates. As a result, Bellevue streamlined cleanups, gained granular audit and access reporting, reduced response time for queries and audits from days to minutes, and improved compliance and risk management across its 18,000 site collections.
