In an important step forward for Quest as one of the leading providers of IAM solutions, Quest Software has acquired the Germany-based Völcker Informatik AG, a privately held identity management solutions provider specializing in the management of user identities, access privileges and security across multiple applications and systems.
Quest One simplifies IAM by consolidating directories, unifying identities around an organization's existing investments, and automating administrative tasks, thereby increasing security and ensuring compliance. ActiveEntry from Völcker extends this efficiency, security and compliance to the entire range of systems, platforms and applications across the enterprise. With this dramatic advancement in the technology, Quest delivers a business-centric identity management solution, making management of the identity lifecycle less complex and more affordable than traditional solutions, while maintaining the levels of compliance and security organizations demand.
"For a variety of reasons, many organizations have been unable to implement identity and access management through a traditional framework solution," said Doug Garn, CEO & President, Quest Software. "The launch of Quest One in 2008 gave organizations a simplified approach to addressing key IAM challenges based on the Microsoft technology stack. The Völcker acquisition adds an extra dimension to the Quest One solution by providing the power, security and efficiency that organizations demand across their entire enterprise. This addresses the common barriers of cost, time and complexity typically associated with IAM."
