Active Directory Content Management
The majority of organisations do not fully maximise the potential of Active Directory, which once fully populated provides a feature rich repository of data which could be utilised to replace legacy contacts systems, telephone lists, address books etc.
The challenge associated with the full population of the Active Directory is the management of directory content. BDS Solutions has addressed this challenge via the development of Directory Integrator, another key product from the Integrated Directory Services portfolio which automatically sources data from disparate data sources and enables the delegation of directory content management and verification to selected non-technical users.
