Q: Who is Quest and why are they hosting The Experts Conference for Exchange?
Quest Software, Inc., a leading enterprise systems management vendor, delivers innovative products that help organizations get more performance and productivity from their applications, databases, Windows infrastructure and virtual environments. Quest also provides customers with client management through its ScriptLogic subsidiary and server virtualization management through its Vizioncore subsidiary.

As a leading provider of solutions that drive the availability, performance, security, and control of distributed network services, Quest knows directory and identity, and we understand Exchange Server and the need to both manage and leverage this high-profile application. We recognize that the most experienced directory users need more and better information to effectively run and manage their directory implementations. The Experts Conferences evolved out of extensive discussions with our customers, as well as Active Directory and Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM) users who had expressed the need for an advanced exchange around critical technologies. The Experts Conference for Exchange evolved much the same way. Despite the fact that there are conferences covering Exchange, they don’t drive to the level of depth that attendees have come to expect from The Experts Conference. And we plan to change all that!
