Volume and Complexity of Change
Constant change in the user base affects the Directory
- Rolling out these new services can place a new load on administrators to keep up with the constant change in the user base
Integration with the rest of the enterprise
- With the concept of the integrated network, it is no longer possible to have disconnected business processes
- The Directory is fundamental and cannot exist in isolation
- Requires coordination with HR, Facilities, Telco, etc.
Policies cannot be centrally created and managed by a single group
- All that IS should do is set policies, and let the different departments take care of what they want to do within those constraints
- Need to understand organizational/cost structure to set policies
