Intervate, a local software development and solution provider that focuses on intranet, extranet and portal technology, has recently launched its organisational chart application for Microsoft Active Directory. Intervate organisational chart is aimed at providing medium and large enterprises with a centralised tool for managing their internal reporting structures within their corporate intranet.
"The need for employees and managers to access staff information, particularly in large and team-based organisations is critical to the efficient internal operations of a company," says Migal van As, CEO of Intervate. "Microsoft Active Directory provides a centralised store for maintaining this information, but the extraction of this data can become complex. As a result, many companies waste time and money manually creating and maintaining internal organisational charts."
"Intervate has developed a tool that automatically creates organisational charts from information stored within the Microsoft Active Directory, and presents it to users through a Web interface, giving employees a clearer understanding of reporting structures and members of departments," adds Van As.
The application is accessed through a standard Web browser making it accessible to users within or outside of the company. Additionally, the charts are created dynamically and in real-time ensuring information reflected is always up-to-date. "As this application can be run as a set of Web parts within Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server, it provides a scalable solution for companies of any size, has the ability to retrieve information on demand, and can expand and collapse the organisational chart as required," says Van As.
"By dynamically creating and updating organisational charts from the information centrally maintained within Active Directory, this application completely replaces previous manual systems for maintaining these charts, eliminating the associated maintenance costs."
"Companies need to become smarter about utilising IT to drive information collaboration internally. Intervate is committed to unifying people, processes and systems that lie at the heart of an organisation`s communications strategy," concludes Van As.
