Simplifying Identity Management in Active Directory Environments

The challenges faced by today’s complex, heterogeneous enterprise typically lie in three main areas: efficiency, security and compliance. But far too often security and compliance take a back seat to efficiency as organizations attempt to streamline operations and save money.

Quest Software – Microsoft’s 2007 Global ISV Partner of the Year – enables organizations to simplify Identity Management by:

• Reducing the number of identities that must be managed
• Automating the identity administration tasks that take so much time
• Enabling organizations to base its identity management strategy on existing investments
  and skill sets

Quest provides a range of identity management solutions inherently designed to enable organizations to leverage additional value from their Microsoft based Identity Management infrastructure.
