Internosis and Quest Software Partner to Deliver World Class Microsoft Services and Solutions; Microsoft Gold Certified Partners Team; Leverage Success With the Public Sector

Posted on: Monday, 1 November 2004, 12:00 CST

Internosis, a privately held IT services firm, and Quest Software, Inc. (Nasdaq:QSFT), a leading provider of application, database and Windows management solutions, today announced that the companies have teamed to provide applications and infrastructure solutions and services to maximize return on investment in Microsoft solutions. The team has already successfully collaborated on a number of commercial and Public Sector engagements including a large Windows migration project for the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK).

Internosis currently delivers IT strategy, application development, infrastructure, and on-going support services for Microsoft and related technologies in support of strategic and tactical demands for a wide range of enterprise customers. Quest's Windows Management products help with pre-migration planning and analysis, domain and user account migration, as well as enhanced administration of the new Active Directory environment.

"The Internosis and Quest team is a strong option for any enterprise committed to maximizing the return on investment in Microsoft solutions," said Robert Stalick, CEO, Internosis. "The teaming of the two companies results in a top-tier offering of Microsoft software solutions, IT strategy and implementation expertise for our valued customer base."

U.S. Army Project Manager, Defense Communications and Army Switched Systems / Enterprise Business Integration Center (PM DCASS / EBIC) contracted with the Internosis and Quest team to plan and execute the USFK Active Directory forest implementation and user migration to Windows Server 2003 and Exchange 2003, as well as associated server consolidation. A secondary objective was to establish an interim data recovery capability that provides backup and restores user data. The team successfully migrated more than 23,000 user accounts and more than 18,000 workstations within budget and in less than 12 weeks.

Both Internosis and Quest Software are Microsoft Gold Certified Partners and have been honored for outstanding Microsoft-related services and solutions. Internosis is a six-time Microsoft Partner of the Year and was awarded Microsoft's North American Solution of the Year award in 2003. Quest Software was recently named Microsoft's Global Independent Software Vendor Partner of the Year and received the Winning Customers Award in the category of Windows NT4 Migration Solution for its work with the U.S. Army.

"This marriage of Microsoft technology expertise has already been proven successful," said Paul Garver, vice president of Public Sector, Quest Software. "We look forward to leveraging best practices from projects, like the Army, to provide strategic, effective and secure services and solutions to enterprises that are looking to increase their competitive advantage."

As part of the arrangement, Internosis will develop a Quest Software Consulting Program to focus on business development and creation of a dedicated Internosis/Quest Software technology team and knowledge base.
