Directory planning has become a very important task for forward looking IT teams. Knowing that the management of several desperate directories can easily and quickly overwhelm an IT organization. KIS Partners will sit down with our Clients, and help them map out a strategy to consolidate disparate directories, work towards automated communications between required Directories, or creating a path that will prevent Directory proliferation, or allow for a controlled expansion of Directory usage.
A solid Directory is the foundation for the world's largest identity management deployments—a high-end directory service that allows businesses to manage identities and security access for employees, customers and partners. With a well planned Directory, businesses lay the groundwork for secure identity management solutions and multi-platform network services.
