Free UP IT Resources with End User Access

With Corporate Directory, usability improves for everyone in the organization. Our phone book software has been designed to provide Active Directory Tools that everyone in the organization can use, not just the IT staff. With our proprietary Active Directory search technology, your IT team no longer has to use complicated commands such as dsquery user to locate users and contacts in Active Directory. Corporate Directory provides an intuitive user interface that eliminates the need to use complex technical tools such as the dsquery user command to bring you faster and smarter search capabilities.

 

Increase Productivity with Faster Searches

In place of the tedious dsquery user search outputs that require formatting and cleaning, you can now find anyone instantly. Corporate Directory has a unique ultra-fast search algorithm. It allows users to find contact details of people in the organization in just 1 second. With the instant results feature, you no longer have to deal with the complex interface of an Active Directory search. Performing an Active Directory query is extremely easy, simply start typing by any criteria such as first name, last name, office location, title, department and you get to watch the instant results immediately pop up.

 

Simplify Active Directory Use & Management

Our software can replace many of the Active Directory tools you may use to export users and contacts. Export the search results, or a complete list of users and contacts from your AD to a CSV file by pressing Ctr+E on your keyboard while the application window is active.

Search results are displayed instantly – as-you-type. For every letter you add, the Active Directory search results are narrowed down and become more accurate. For every letter you remove from the search box, the results become broader. This expanded Active Directory query enables you to search by any parameter in free text – just like in Google.  An Active Directory search is now as simple as searching in Google!

 

Improve Performance with Smarter Search Capabilities

Unlike traditional search methods such as a web portal or other phone book software you no longer need to specify the property in your search. When you use Corporate Directory, you simply type “Marketing” in the search box and it will find everyone in the Marketing group or those who have Marketing in their title. For example, if you type “Richard finance” in the search box Corporate Directory will search for Richard in the finance department or for a Richard that has finance in his title. An Active Directory query has never been more accurate.

Why is Corporate Directory better than dsquery? One of the big advantages of searching for Active Directory contacts using Corporate Directory over dsquery user is that you get the results as-you-type so you are able to correct your search criteria or spelling as you search.
