FootPrints Dynamic Address Book Link offers a comprehensive facility to help organizations deliver faster, more responsive service and support by giving agents direct access to customer contact data stored in their corporate directories.  A few of the FootPrints customers currently utilizing the FootPrints Dynamic Address Book Link are Agri-Fab, Dice Inc., the City of Ontario, California, Los Alamos National Labs, OmniGlow, Seneca College, Mintz Levin, and UC Berkeley's Boalt School of Law.

FooPrints Dynamic Address Book Link has been  designated LDAP 2000 Certified by The Open Group, identifying that it is a directory-enabled application that uses LDAP version 3, and is certified as supporting interoperability with LDAP Certified directory servers, including Microsoft® Exchange®, Microsoft® Active Directory™.  Lotus Notes®, Sun™ ONE, Novell® NDS eDirectory, Novell® GroupWise®, and other LDAP-based address books.


“FootPrints LDAP integration has an impressive richness of features. Unlike other options available in the service desk market, it delivers fast, easy access to the most up- to-date, actual contact records out-of-the-box,” said Mark Krieger, President of UniPress Software.  “Other options available offer a non-dynamic version of LDAP address book access or they offer LDAP-integration with a long implementation cycle that requires months of consulting and customization to make it work.”
