“Every organization wants to move faster with AI, but they’re hitting the same roadblocks: identities they can’t control, data they can’t fully trust, and outdated platforms they can’t rely on,” said Heath Thompson, Chief Product Officer, Quest Software. “With these advancements in three foundational priorities for AI readiness and success, Quest is removing those barriers, AI-enabling our broad product suite, and ensuring our customers’ success so they can move AI projects from pilot to production with speed and confidence. On top of that, our partnership with Microsoft is longer than any other identity-focused independent software vendor, and we have been named Partner of the Year six times – helping show our capabilities in migration and modernization projects, a key part of AI readiness for customers.”
Alex Simons, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Entra, Microsoft, added, “We’ve seen an incredible wave of technology advancement in a short time due to the rapid growth of AI. Companies are looking to reinvent their business and are using agent identities and Microsoft Entra ID to secure and govern their data confidently. Partners like Quest Software, with deep domain experience in Microsoft identity modernization, are invaluable in helping manage the transition to cloud-native identity and broader AI adoption.”
