We consider our customers critical in making Quest One the preferred standard for Identity and Access Management (IAM). Quest is committed to listening to your feedback while we aggressively continue to enhance and expand our IAM features and functionalities.

We have also transitioned the support of eDMZ to the Quest Software global support organization servicing customers worldwide, effective as of May 3, 2011.

All customers under a current support agreement should have received information about how to use Quest Software’s Support Services including details on logging into our SupportLink website where you can search our Knowledge Base as well as open and manage support cases online. For those of you familiar with the eDMZ HQ portal, this remains intact and you are able to perform the same self-service tasks such as downloading patches and obtaining licenses.

We would like to take this opportunity to reassure all existing eDMZ customers that Quest will continue and enhance the solutions and services being provided. Please do not hesitate to contact me or your local account manager should you have any questions on the above, and look out for more information from us soon.

Thank you,

Jason Fehrenbach, Product Manager, Quest Software
