The American Hospital Association Awards Its Endorsement to Quest Archive Manager for Email Archiving

CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
The American Hospital Association (AHA) today announced it has awarded an
exclusive endorsement to Quest Archive Manager for its email archiving
capabilities. Archive Manager captures, indexes and stores email and attachments
centrally, lowering storage costs, providing faster email discovery response and
ensuring compliance through email preservation. AHA Solutions, Inc., a
subsidiary of the AHA, awards the AHA endorsement to organizations that help
member hospitals and health care organizations achieve organizational
excellence.

At a time when hospitals are already struggling with shrinking budgets,
additional regulations are surfacing regarding handling of data. Archiving email
has become a complex responsibility requiring robust technology for effective
and secure storage of digital communications. A scalable solution that is cost
effective to implement and easy to use will reduce IT workload, enhance the
administration of individual email folders, and streamline discovery
initiatives.

Archive Manager from Quest Software supports and facilitates compliance by
creating flexible retention rules according to a hospital`s policies. Powerful
search and tagging capabilities enable quick retrieval of data for internal
investigations and legal requests without creating a storage burden for IT
departments. Impressive to the AHA, is Archive Manager`s scalability according
to a hospital`s size and corresponding archiving requirements without the need
to install additional software. Single-instancing technology significantly
reduces storage requirements by capturing each unique attachment only once.
Subsequent instances of the attachment link the stored document with any other
email in which it appears. "Effectively and securely archiving email is a
complex issue for hospitals," said Anthony Burke, president and CEO, AHA
Solutions, Inc. "Of all the solutions we reviewed, Quest offered the most
straightforward implementation and provided a greater level of scalability and
flexibility than its competitors."

Throughout the intensive AHA due diligence process the solution was frequently
described by users as simple to use and not requiring a high level of
administration. "We`re honored to receive this endorsement which was earned
based on the features of Archive Manager and the success we`ve already had in
the health care market," said John Milburn, vice president of Windows
management, Quest Software. "Our health care customers frequently tell us
Archive Manager takes less than five minutes to accomplish tasks that previously
took almost four business days to complete manually. Automating the process
enables them to quickly gather and organize data needed for compliance or legal
teams."
