Quest Software Introduces Migrator for Sametime

One-of-a-Kind Features Provide Seamless Migration from IBM Lotus Sametime to Microsoft Office Communications Server

LOS ANGELES, - Microsoft Tech Ed North America 2009 - May 11, 2009 - Quest Software, Inc., (Nasdaq: QSFT) has provided IBM Lotus Notes users with advanced, cost-cutting migration solutions, via its Quest Notes Migrator for Exchange and Quest Notes Migrator for SharePoint solutions for years. Now, Quest brings this same high quality, cost-saving migration technology to the IBM Lotus Sametime platform with the release of Quest Migrator for Sametime.

Many IBM Lotus Notes customers use Sametime for instant messaging and presence. Quest Migrator for Sametime is an innovative solution that simplifies migration from IBM Lotus Sametime to Microsoft Office Communications Server by providing pre-migration discovery and assessment, status reporting, user mapping, automation and buddy list migration, all in one solution. By migrating users and settings transparently, end users will experience virtually no impact from the migration.

"Migrator for Sametime gives Quest a comprehenisive unified communications migration suite," said Eric Swift, senior director, Unified Communications Group, Microsoft. "Microsoft has been very supportive in the development of the Sametime-to-Office Communications Server migration product, as it will provide customers with a solution that minimizes the impact from the migration and maintains user productivity as they move to the next generation communications solution."

Migrator for Sametime is another affordable solution that reinforces Quest's commitment to helping organizations on a lean budget cut costs and improve business productivity. For example,with Quest Migrator for Sametime, end users will save valuable time by not having to rebuild and reorganize their contact lists manually. At 30 minutes per user, this tedious task previously would cost a 10,000-user company more than 5,000 hours in lost productivity. Quest Migrator for Sametime provides additional hard dollar savings through automation and scheduling of administrative tasks, further reducing help desk burdens and ensuring a seamless transition for the entire organization.

"Quest has made significant investments in migration products that simplify migration from the IBM Lotus platform," said David Waugh, vice president and general manager of Unified Communications and Collaboration, Quest Software. "With our release of Quest Migrator for Sametime, we are proud to offer a comprehensive solution providing a direct and seamless transition to Microsoft Office Communications Server with no loss in functionality or productivity."
