The Challenge
Mountain View Hospital came to recognize the need for an effective employee directory tool and soon realized that their existing system of utilizing Excel files and SharePoint lists was simply not working.
Not only was it inefficient and disorganized, but finding the right information about employees became increasingly hard. The hospital had difficulty tracking who was responsible for various tasks, locating team members' details, or even understanding the roles of certain personnel due to the scattered data in different systems. With all the fluctuating information, it was becoming a challenge to keep up with all the changes in their employee profiles.
“Sadly we were using Excel files that were spread out across the organization and SharePoint lists that were a terribly formatted display of our Active Directory environment.” - Chris Clinger, IT Enterprise Application Team Manager at Mountain View Hospital.
Critical Needs
- An employee directory tool that consolidated their employee data from a single source of truth that could be accessible from anywhere
- A digital employee directory solution that made it easier to find employees' contact details
The Solution
Mountain View Hospital's requirements were straightforward: A reliable employee directory solution that was easy to connect to their Azure AD environment. They also wanted the solution to consolidate their current employee data and display it in a formatted, clean, and attractive manner. The IT department reviewed their options, which ranged from building a custom solution in-house to choosing from many Active Directory employee directory apps available. While they explored all options, they finally found OneDirectory as the best fit for their requirements.
OneDirectory ticked all the boxes for Mountain View Hospital. It was easy to configure and connect seamlessly with their existing Azure AD environment. The team found the solution particularly effective in highlighting incorrect data and allowing edits to be made in their Azure AD, ensuring all the information was correct, accurate, and up-to-date.
The Mountain View team also found OneDirectory's search functionality particularly useful, making it easy for new employees to access contact information and quickly connect with their colleagues with just a few clicks. The user-friendly interface with a simple layout made it possible for everyone to use, regardless of computer literacy or background, and eliminated the need for extensive training or support.
Another feature that convinced Mountain View to choose OneDirectory was the ability to view employees in different groups such as departments or locations. This provided a better user experience and improved the accuracy of the directory. It also allowed team members to get a better understanding of who they are working with and their specific areas of expertise, ultimately improving the overall productivity of the organization.
“It was easy to connect to our Azure AD environment, where our data was already living, and visualize it in a clean, attractive, and reliable way.” - Chris Clinger, IT Enterprise Application Team Manager at Mountain View Hospital.
