Why You Need Web-Based Directory Management
|
| Microsoft Exchange represents a powerful mail platform, delivering not only a great messaging and groupware platform but also a robust directory service. Using the Global Address List (GAL) within Microsoft Outlook, you can locate another user's department, address, phone number and more. This valuable source of information provides the entire company with one standard address book. The problem is, it is rarely kept up-to-date. This is understandable, since it is a time-consuming and seemingly never-ending task for network administrators. As employees switch departments, change addresses, phone numbers, supervisors, etc., it becomes increasingly difficult for a growing enterprise to maintain such a large data source. |
 |
So how do you keep distribution lists
and contact information current and reliable?
a) You can hire employees and pay them to handle data change requests.
b) You can continue to bog down your administrators with this chore.
Both
are viable options and many companies choose these routes. However,
for efficiency-minded companies, increasing the workforce for mundane
jobs is hardly cost-effective, nor is it necessarily productive to
drown administrators with simple, tedious tasks when they could be
focusing on more critical IT issues. |

WebDir allows individual users to update
Exchange directory information and manage groups through any web browser,
thus easing the burden put on administrators to update information.
This capability immediately ensures more accurate and reliable data
within the Exchange directory and groups. After all, who is a better
source for directory information than users themselves? By allowing
employees to update their own information, you optimize your administrators'
time by reducing some of the redundant and necessary responsibilities
that fall onto their desk.
WebDir is 100% customizable, which allows your organization's decision-makers
to control the fields that employees can update and those that remain
read-only. WebDir even provides automatic routing of change
requests for approvals. WebDir is web-based which makes it easily
accessible to all users throughout your organization without the need
for yet another piece of software to be installed on their machines.
WebDir can be accessed anytime, anywhere from the comfort of any browser
and without any special permissions. |
