The company’s success story started in 2000, when Mr. Thomas Quester, a trained and experienced system administrator, set up his business for developing communications solutions for Microsoft Outlook networks in small and medium-sized enterprises.
Based in Hamburg, Quester soon introduced its revolutionary and internationally unique groupware solution ‘OLfolders’ for MS Outlook networks. “With this product, I realised my vision of creating a server that gives several users the chance to simultaneously access all the data they require in Outlook”, says Mr. Thomas Quester, Managing Director and a pioneer in developing Outlook add-ons.
“Until the introduction of ‘OLfolders’, this was only possible through the installation of a special network exchange server such as the MS Exchange Server or a ‘Small Business Server’”, says Mr. Egbert Parthesius, Sales and Marketing Manager.
When installed on one network PC (which makes it the server), ‘OLfolders’ gives unlimited users simultaneous access to all data in Outlook.
Furthermore, it provides options for sharing contacts, emails, calendars, journals, documents, protecting private data, etc. Thus, employees are always up-to date on activities, e.g. business appointments or who is busy with which task.
Working on any TCP/IP connection, the economic and effective Quester innovation makes any modification instantly visible on all PCs, prevents the modification of data by two or more persons at the same time, and enables the flexible installation of new or already existing Outlook networks.
Another important add-on is ‘QSynchronization’, which is especially appreciated by smaller organisations. This product is in charge of synchronising folders in Outlook, for instance, public folders with personal folders, folders on a desktop with folders on a laptop, etc.
The enterprise owes its outstanding position to unique high quality products, intensive customer support, and the collaboration with more than 150 international reseller partners.
