Dell to acquire Quest
Acquisition Overview
Dell and Quest today announced they have entered into a definitive agreement for Dell to acquire Quest, an award-winning IT management software provider offering a broad selection of solutions that solve the most common and most challenging IT problems.
Why Quest
