Atlantic Health System Partners with Intrinsic Technologies, Chooses Quest Software Products; Migration and Management Solutions Will Help Simplify New Active Directory Environment

Business Wire, Dec 28, 2005

ALISO VIEJO, Calif. & LISLE, Ill. -- Quest Software Inc. (Nasdaq:QSFT), a leading provider of application, database and infrastructure management solutions, and Intrinsic Technologies, a national systems integrator specializing in Microsoft infrastructure, announced today that Atlantic Health System has chosen to work with Intrinsic to implement Quest's Active Directory migration and management software to simplify and manage its IT infrastructure.

"We were looking to create a more unified directory services environment by having all of our user accounts in Active Directory," said Pat Zinno, director, Infrastructure Services and Support, Atlantic Health System. "Our systems are only as stable as the underlying infrastructure allows them to be. Intrinsic and Quest are infrastructure experts, so it just makes sense to use their professional services and software."

While Atlantic has some legacy applications that are dependent upon Novell, the company decided to simplify its environment by migrating all user accounts to Active Directory using Quest NDS Migrator. For efficient management and security of the new Active Directory environment, they have licensed the Quest Management Suite for Active Directory. Atlantic has also selected Quest InTrust to help meet audit and compliance requirements.

"Intrinsic's team really understands the Windows infrastructure, and we are pleased that they recommend Quest to their clients, including Atlantic Health System," said Andrew Fraser, director, Alliance and Partner Development, Quest Software. "Intrinsic's best-practice recommendations and our software will give Atlantic a solid foundation for all its applications and IT initiatives."

"Intrinsic will use the Quest products to provide a consistent Active Directory service for Atlantic Health System to assist with security, audit and HIPAA compliance, as well as other projects on their technology roadmap," said Jason Liu, CEO of Intrinsic Technologies. "Quest products are an essential part of Intrinsic's ability to deliver automated solutions to our clients and we are very pleased with the strategic value the Quest-Intrinsic partnership delivers to Atlantic Health System."

Atlantic Health System is one of New Jersey's largest nonprofit health care systems. Backed by world-class physicians, procedures and technologies, Atlantic Health System delivers high-quality, safe, affordable patient care to 3 million residents in central and northern New Jersey.
