The Recognition PR Newsroom

Sydney, January 20, 2010 – In recognition of its track record of migrating more than 20 million users to Microsoft platforms in the last 10 years, Quest Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: QSFT) has been named a recommended independent software vendor (ISV) in Microsoft’s Enterprise Notes Migration (ENM) program. The ENM program helps simplify the process of moving from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint in the cloud and on-premises, in part with an affordable offering of Quest products and support.

Quest just released a new version of Quest Notes Migrator for Exchange, with support for Exchange 2010. Notes Migrator simplifies the migration process, increasing predictability, mitigating the risks and reducing the costs associated with Notes migrations. Notes Migrator for Exchange is part of Quest’s suite of Notes transition solutions. Quest provides a complete migration solution to Exchange, SharePoint, Office Communications Server and the Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS), along with products for pre-migration assessment, coexistence and application rebuilding. Quest also offers a global sales force, a certified partner community and 24/7/365 support.

Matthew Johnston, Windows Management Product Director, Quest Software ANZ, said, “The current economic climate has produced an increase in Lotus-to-Microsoft migrations, as many organisations simplify their enterprise to cut costs, or streamline after company mergers or acquisitions.

“To meet this demand, Quest has developed analysis, migration and coexistence tools to help customers mitigate risk throughout the transition. Through our partnership with Microsoft and our mutual certified partners, customers can purchase these solutions and execute a predictable and affordable migration with a trusted migration expert.”

Quest is gaining momentum with Microsoft Exchange Online and SharePoint Online migrations, and has helped deliver some of the first migrations from Notes to Exchange Online, in both the U.S. and Europe. Quest tools also were selected for the first Notes-to-SharePoint Online migration to Microsoft’s dedicated cloud infrastructure, a physically separate cloud optimised for larger enterprises, governments and other organisations requiring enhanced capabilities, security and privacy.

“Quest is a leading Microsoft ISV Partner and 2009 Notes Transition Partner of the Year finalist,” said David Scult, general manager in information worker marketing at Microsoft Corporation. “The company provides an excellent option for customers looking to transition from Lotus Notes to Microsoft’s business productivity platform for the well-integrated capabilities, flexibility and familiarity it delivers. We look forward to our continued success with Quest as we meet the worldwide demand for Notes migration tools and services.”
