Hi there, Quest fans! Let me open this blog by saying we’re absolutely thrilled that Microsoft named Quest a 2016 Messaging Partner of the Year Finalist for our ZeroIMPACT Migration solutions. It really is a tremendous honor to receive the Partner of the Year accolades, especially since we were competing with more than 2,500 entrants from 119 different countries worldwide!
Okay – that enough on the award itself. But I think it’s more important for our readers to explain WHY Microsoft named Quest a 2016 Messaging Partner of the Year Finalist.
If you ask any of Quest’s 100,000 customers around the world — their answers would probably be the same.
Experience. Erfahrung. Experiencia. de l'expérience.
Quest’s experience with Microsoft platform migrations speaks for itself with our long track record and customer success stories like Amway. To enable effective global communications and collaboration, Amway needed to migrate its email from IBM Notes to Microsoft Office 365. With the help of Quest Professional Services and our ZeroIMPACT migration software, Amway was able to migrate its 19,000 Notes mailboxes and calendar data on time and under budget, while ensuring user productivity with seamless coexistence throughout the project. The project was so successful that management recognized the team with CIO Awards, the most prestigious honor given to Amway IT employees.
If you’re more of a visual learner, we have another great example: Coca-Cola Bottling Company United:
What can you learn from these Office 365 migration stories?
