Directory overview

TIM Enterprise is built upon a unique objectsdesigned upon an object-based Directory directory that places no limits no limits on its hierarchical width or depth, meaning you can faithfully recreate . This approach permits the integration of multiple sites within one centralised system, where every user can be grouped into folders, sites, cost centres and divisions, allowing you to create an exact replica of your company's actual structure. By defining relationships between these objects, the system becomes intelligent... for example, it can automatically reconcile calls across 'on-net' routes.

TIM Enterprise's distributed Directory means your employee directory can span multiple sites, with no limit to the actual depth. Aside from the usual user and telephone information, customised fields are available for items such as e-mail address, office location, etc.

The screen below shows the Organisation units and Other objects available for constructing your Directory

internal structure.

Every system object of the Directory has an explicit, defined relationship with its peers and an entire tree of related objects can be defined, with no width or depth limits of the branches.

To facilitate the configuration and management of large systems, TIM Enterprise supports directory synchronisation with third-party applications such as Active Directory and Cisco AXL.
