About という点から考えると

()(てん)から(かんが)えると is a set phrase which indicates that something is being discussed from the 'point of view of (A)'. This may be translated as 'from the viewpoint of (A)', 'speaking in terms of (A)', or 'when viewed from the angle of (A)'. The noun (てん) 'point' can be thought of as directly indicating the aspect of (A) that is being focused on. Literally, the meaning is 'if considered from the aspect of (A), (B)'.
This expression often follows either verbs or nouns, However, when following nouns, の may occasionally replace という, especially in cases where it is a simple noun, rather than an entire quotation that just happens to finish with a noun.

    It can be used like those expressions. Though feels a bit more formal.

    Remember that: にしたら is used with nouns denoting people or organizations and からいうと is not generally used with nouns denoting people (except of personの立場 からいうと)
