Dear Quest Partner:

As a valued partner, I am writing to inform you that today Quest entered into an agreement with Insight Venture Partners to become a privately held company. The details of this announcement can be found in our press release and accompanying Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). In addition, I would like to share my perspective and explain how this news will benefit you.

From an operations perspective, our business will run as usual. Quest will continue in much the same way as before, including our unwavering commitment to Quest Partner Circle. You are essential to our go-to-market strategy and we will continue to support your efforts across the entire Quest solutions portfolio.

This new structure will provide Quest with greater flexibility in executing on our goals to enhance our leadership position in enterprise systems management with a focus on continued innovation and superior service. We will work closely with Insight Venture Partners, an early investor in Quest who clearly understands and appreciates our business value. Most important, they share our company-wide dedication to Quest’s ongoing success.

Our executive team is unchanged and Vinny Smith will continue to be responsible for leading Quest as our Chairman and CEO. Our confidence in our ability to meet the needs of our partners is as strong as ever and we look forward to enhancing our engagement with you.

We are proud of the company we have built and even more proud of the partnerships we have achieved with you and your organization. Our new structure will bring a new level of engagement for us in the marketplace and we look forward to your continued support.

Warm regards,

Michael Sotnick

VP, Worldwide Channels & Alliances
