Company History

Originally founded as StarQuest Software, Inc. in 1992, the company was acquired by Level 8 Systems in 2000. In June 2002, the StarQuest product line returned home from Level 8 to StarQuest Ventures, Inc. StarQuest Ventures has continued to enhance the software to provide the most reliable, affordable, and high-performing database connectivity products in the marketplace.

Development Philosophy

StarQuest software is developed using open standards for optimized compatibility. StarQuest technology takes advantage of DRDA protocol standards and is compatible with any application or development tool that supports the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) or Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) interface standards. StarQuest realizes that organizations make significant investment in their hardware and software, and provides proven products that can evolve with the needs of the organization.
