Case Study: Quest Software achieves improved operational efficiency with Avanade's SharePoint 2010 migration

Quest Software Realizes Results with SharePoint 2010 Migration

Quest Software, a global leader in SharePoint migration and administration serving over 100,000 customers, had outgrown its SharePoint 2007 environment—more than 2,000 sites and 900 site collections—while lacking formal governance. Widespread customizations, orphaned sites and a backlog of requests limited availability, scalability and the ability to adopt SharePoint 2010 productivity features.

Avanade was selected to architect and migrate Quest to SharePoint 2010, removing problematic customizations, building an enforceable governance plan and using Quest tools to accelerate cleanup and testing. The result was a scalable, compliant SharePoint 2010 farm with Office Web Apps, improved search, automated provisioning and faster administration—delivered on time and under budget and enabling new migrations, custom projects and positive user feedback.
