The new features take it beyond the standard corporate directory to become a powerful tool for collaboration that helps build better teams for more effective projects. Now more than ever, collaboration is the lifeblood of successful organizations. And while many companies have invested in expanding and innovating their channels of communication, they’re still using outdated contact directories with gaps that hinder, instead of bolster collaboration. That’s where Akkadian Contact Manager comes in.A Big Win for End UsersThese upgrades make Contact Manager even smarter, more flexible, and more powerful for end users. The new features include:
Robust User Profiles—The most relevant information available for your contacts
Multi-Language Support—English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, and Chinese
Cover Me—Designate others to cover calls in your absence
Directory Matching Caller ID—Total call transparency on Cisco IP phones
Dynamic Directories—Default to your relevant contacts
Redesigned user profiles enable custom fields for more than just basic contact info, empowering employees to easily find colleagues with a specific skillset, title, location, language, and more. It even supports entries not associated with people, like conference rooms, HelpDesk, vendors, etc.A Big Win for AdminsAkkadian Contact Manager is also ideal for UC Admins who struggle with multiple data sources and formats.

Adoption is also very easy—you can go from purchase to deployment in under four hours.
