GAD 7.6 / Outlook Integration?

[PFCCWA]

Hello,

Is anyone using GAD (v7.6) and able to integrate with their corporate outlook address book, without customisation?
We want our agents to have the ability to search (using GAD email To: button) into our corporate email address book and use it.
Currently they can only search within the contact server address book.

thanks.

I always achieved it via synchronization based on UCS or UCS database - some jobs read requested information from source (LDAP,AD,..) and create it on UCS database. There are two ways - 1) via PSDK (pure way), 2) via database, just insert new records

On option 2, insert new records in db..
Our DB team have asked if they only need to import into the contact table (in ucs db).
If I manually create a contact in GAD, the Contact and ContactAttribute tables are updated (both have new records).
In addition new IDs are generated - db team are also asking how this is generated for them to do this (ie number of characters varchar etc).

thanks.

I wouldn't go database way because in near future database schema and database may change and PSDK API is transparent to those changes
