North America Partners Can Purchase Quest Solutions Through Any Quest Authorized Distributor
ALISO VIEJO, CALIF. – September 10, 2018 – Quest Software, a global systems management, data protection and security software provider, today announced that effective immediately, the company has moved from a closed distributor model to an open model in North America. This shift makes it simple for partners to purchase Quest data protection, unified endpoint management, Microsoft platform management and information management solutions through any Quest Authorized Distributor. The open source distributor model, specific to commercial transactions and excluding public sector/federal transactions, ensures greater partner flexibility, making it even easier to do business with Quest.
“We are committed to the success of our partner ecosystem as they play a pivotal role in ensuring our customers’ biggest technology challenges are addressed with great products, excellent service, and through an easy to work with business model,” said George Karabatsos, Software Channel Sales Director, Quest. “An open distribution model across North America allows for better flexibility and management of resources so our partners can focus on what they do best – addressing the need of their customers.”
With the new open distributor model, partners no longer have to align with one distributor and now have the flexibility to purchase from any Quest authorized commercial distributor, including Arrow Electronics, Lifeboat Distribution and Tech Data Corporation. For existing Quest reseller partners, all rights and privileges of the Quest Partner Circle program are unaffected. Partners can remain with their current Quest Authorized Distributor or purchase Quest solutions through different Authorized Distributor partners.
