Quest Software’s Stat Application Change Management Solutions Achieve Oracle Validated Integration for Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools and Oracle E-Business Suite

Stat Integrations Help Reduce Cost and Risk of Upgrades, Custom Changes, and Patches for Critical ERP Applications

ALISO VIEJO, Calif.--()--Quest Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: QSFT), a Platinum-level member of Oracle® PartnerNetwork (OPN), today announced it has achieved Oracle Validated Integration of Stat® 5.5.5 with Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools 8.51 and Stat® 5.5.5 with the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1. These integrations will help customers reduce risk, improve system implementation, and help ensure increased regulatory compliance. Quest’s Stat offerings are uniquely positioned to help organizations respond quickly, effectively, and safely to massive volumes of change across application lifecycles.

To achieve Oracle Validated Integration, Oracle partners are required to meet a stringent set of requirements that are based on the needs and priorities of the customers. “The Oracle Validated Integration applies a rigorous technical review and test process,” said Kevin O’Brien, senior director, ISV and SaaS Strategy, Oracle. “Achieving Oracle Validated Integration through Oracle PartnerNetwork gives our customers confidence that the integrations of Quest’s Stat with Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools, as well as the Oracle E-Business Suite have been validated, and that the products work together as designed. This reduces risk and improves the implementation cycles for our joint customers.”

With Quest Stat, organizations can be much more responsive to change through version control, impact analysis, object/file locking, automated workflow, migration management as well as powerful reporting and auditing capabilities. By responding more easily and efficiently to changes, Quest customers can keep pace with ever-increasing business demands while reducing total cost of ownership for their ERP systems.

According to John Newsom, general manager and vice president of the Application Management Business Unit for Quest, notable trends in data center consolidations and upgrades to the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 are driving significant change, which reinforces the demand for integrated and automated change management. “Quest customers are encountering constant application changes and migrations as they continue to consolidate and modernize their global data center infrastructures,” he explained. “Customers introduce risk when changes are made to their ERP system, which is why Oracle Validated Integration is particularly critical for change management solutions. Quest can alleviate problem resolution and technical support challenges concerning patch, upgrade or object change.”
