History and Acquisitions

ScriptLogic, founded in 1997, initially made a user desktop configuration management tool for network administrators. This basic login script replacement tool has grown into a complex desktop configuration management solution called Desktop Authority. Additional desktop management and Windows server products have been added to the portfolio including disk imaging, application packaging, security management, and regulatory compliance solutions.

ScriptLogic has offices in the US, UK and Australia, with customers and distributors worldwide.

August, 2007 Quest Software acquired ScriptLogic Corporation, keeping Scriptlogic as a wholly-owned subsidiary allowing Scriptlogic to continue to develop and support its product line.

November 12, 2007 ScriptLogic purchased the assets of Mattus Inc. (d/b/a Kemma Software), a help desk software development company located near Pittsburgh, PA. This acquisition adds a help desk software solution for the SMB market to ScriptLogic's product line.
