• About us
Quest Collaboration Services allows companies to establish secure collaboration between users in different forests; being used on a continuous basis, it allows you to reduce the costs and complexities associated with managing a decentralized, multi-forest network. Quest Collaboration Services provides a consolidated view of all collaboration processes and gives easy access to object management functionality. It assists corporate IT administrators in synchronizing data between separated forests, while taking into account organizational and business demands.
Quest Collaboration Services can be deployed in a single company (for example, between divisions and subsidiaries) as well as between separate companies (such as partners, consultants, and vendors). Quest Collaboration Services allows for granular and selective data synchronization, including global address list (GAL), free/busy information and calendar details information.
