The premise of the portfolio is simple, to introduce a complete, comprehensive and timely directory service, delivering the following objectives:

  • To reduce administrative dependencies and duplication of effort relating to the management of Active Directory, NHS National Directory and local "employee-related" systems and processes such as Registration Authority, Telephone, and Helpdesk etc.
  • To delegate the management of directory content away from IT/HR teams to end-users
  • To maximise product and technology investments to improve productivity
