Government Address Book: 4/6-Wk Implementation

It can be hard for staff to find and establish connections with relevant stakeholders across agencies and departments, people have often had to rely on their personal networks to find the right role or person to speak to.

The Government Address Book, powered by Azure Cognitive Search, provides a Google-like search experience, allowing users to find people through name, role or email address. It’s a simple and secure Microsoft Teams App that enables frictionless communication between collaborative agencies. It delivers a feature-rich people directory – that works securely across Office 365 tenants - and allows users to:

• Securely find and connect with your colleagues in other departments,
• Search by name, department / agency, location, and role, and
• Start a Teams chat, video call, or schedule a meeting with one click.

1. Review your existing environment

We’ll spend some time upfront reviewing your existing environment, understanding your security requirements and mapping the agencies and vendors that you want to include in the Gov Address Book

Using the insights gathered from our planning phase, we’ll move into deployment, this includes developing the solution package, refining any issues, completing UAT and providing

3. Deploy and go-live
