New product is the only solution to provide business continuity directly between GroupWise and Exchange and mitigate risk during coexistence and migration projects

ALISO VIEJO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Quest Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: QSFT) today introduced Quest^® Coexistence Manager for GroupWise, the first product of its kind that provides direct coexistence between Novell GroupWise and Microsoft^® Exchange 2007/2010/Online, either as part of a migration, or to integrate disparate environments during an event such as a merger or acquisition. Available immediately, Quest Coexistence Manager for GroupWise mitigates the risk of disrupted messaging and collaboration between users by providing free/busy lookups, ensuring accurate calendar scheduling, and synchronizing directories between platforms.

News Facts

During a migration or to integrate disparate environments, organizations traditionally relied on native tools that required Exchange Server 2003, were difficult to install, lacked the necessary level of functionality, and involved considerable risk.
Quest Coexistence Manager for GroupWise ensures interoperability between GroupWise and Exchange (on-premises or hosted) - including Microsoft Office 365 - enabling organizations to maintain productivity throughout a migration or coexistence period.
Quest Coexistence Manager for GroupWise includes the following product features:
- Free/Busy Connector – Enables free/busy queries between GroupWise and Exchange, enabling users to view availability and schedule meetings with other users no matter where their mailbox resides.
- Directory Connector – Provides complete directories in both GroupWise and Exchange, allowing users on both platforms to view a common list of users, groups and resources.
- Calendar Guard – Ensures accuracy of calendar appointments, including custom recurring meetings, reschedules and cancellations sent between platforms. GroupWise and Exchange users can collaborate and schedule meetings with each other throughout the coexistence period.
Scalable for environments of any size, Quest Coexistence Manager for GroupWise is the latest in Quest’s award-winning product portfolio and includes 24/7 technical support.
