Quest Software Announces Speakers, Sessions for The Experts Conference 2010

Registration Now Open for Directory & Identity, Exchange and New SharePoint Training

ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Sept. 16, 2009 – Quest Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: QSFT) today announced speaker and session lineups for the ninth annual The Experts Conference (TEC) 2010, which will be held in Los Angeles April 25 –28, 2010, at the JW Marriott. Registration is now open for TEC, a 400-level training event focused on advancing the skills of the most experienced users of Microsoft® Directory & Identity, Exchange Server and SharePoint®  technologies.

“TEC has a long history of delivering the most advanced training on Microsoft technologies,” said Quest chief architect and conference founder Gil Kirkpatrick. “With the introduction of TEC for SharePoint in 2010, we’re extending that value into the collaboration space – an area ripe for training that goes below the interface, to implementation and architecture. The strong synergies and intersection points among the technologies create a broader range of expertise for our delegates.”

TEC 2010 for Directory & Identity will provide advanced education on business-critical identity and access management (IAM) technologies including Active Directory®, Forefront™ Identity Manager (formerly Identity Lifecycle Manager) and Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS). Veteran speakers Brian Puhl and Dmitri Gavrilov of Microsoft, Guido Grillenmeier of HP, and Craig Martin of Oxford Computer Group will return to the event in 2010.

TEC 2010 for Exchange will deliver intense, cutting-edge education on Exchange 2010, as well as powerful training on everything from Exchange Server 2007 development and scripting to archiving, recovery and storage. Speakers slated to take the stage include David Espinoza, Ross Smith IV, Scott Schnoll and Brett Shirley of Microsoft.

The first TEC 2010 for SharePoint will feature expert speakers from the industry and Microsoft, and share a powerful look ahead to SharePoint 2010. Speakers include Dan Holme of Intelliem, Paul Swider of OnClick Solutions and RBA Consulting’s Phillip Wicklund.

Attendees at all three conferences will have extensive opportunities to network with other industry experts, as well as members of the various product teams from Microsoft. Full speaker and session information can be found at www.theexpertsconference.com/europe/.

TEC 2010, presented by Quest and Microsoft, follows the success of TEC 2009 in Las Vegas and TEC Europe 2009, which closes today in Berlin, Germany.
