The Customer
Strata Studios is a forward-thinking multimedia agency that focuses on delivering innovative, personalized communication strategies. Their approach is built on adaptability and creative execution, providing dynamic, impactful solutions in an ever-changing business environment. By staying ahead of trends, they offer tailored strategies that address their clients' unique needs.
The Challenge
01 . Updating Directory Info
Strata Studios' workforce is dynamic, with many team members working on a project basis. This constant turnover required frequent updates to the contact directory. The admin struggled to keep up with the manual updates, leading to delays and a heavy administrative burden. Without an efficient solution, this process became both time-consuming and prone to errors.
02 . Need for Directory Sync
They need the directory contacts to be up-to-date and easily accessible across all collaboration platforms and communication channels on their devices—whether mobile phones, laptops, or desktops. However, the lack of synchronization made it difficult to quickly find the necessary contact. This fragmented system forced team members to search through emails, messages, and other channels, leading to inefficiencies and miscommunication.
The Solution Strata Studios implemented a directory system that allowed users to update their contact information directly. Changes made by any team member were synced instantly across all devices and platforms. Now, they enjoy a unified, always-up-to-date directory contact list that is accessible from any device, streamlining communication across the company.
Helpful Features 
Google Active Directory to mobile devices and third-party apps synchronization
With LDAP synchronization, selected users can access all colleagues' phone numbers and other contact details from their mobile devices at any time.
Directory sharing
When a user is created or updated in the domain directory, their contact information is instantly synced across the team's mobile devices. The company directory can also be shared with users outside the domain.
2-way synchronization with Google Contacts
Editors can see, create, or update the shared contacts directly from Google Contacts or their Shared Contacts dashboard.
The Result With the new directory solution, Strata Studios experienced smoother communication and faster project execution. The team’s ability to access updated contact information across devices improved collaboration, enabling the company to meet deadlines more efficiently. The improved contact management system also led to a more cohesive team, as everyone could quickly reach the right person with accurate details.
Since implementing the new directory solution, our team has become more efficient and connected. The real-time syncing of contact details across platforms has eliminated the need for time-consuming searches, enabling us to focus more on our creative work. This solution has made a significant impact on how we collaborate and communicate internally
