Create the company phone directory for Kaizala

Important

Microsoft Kaizala has retired on August 31, 2023. We recommend using Microsoft Teams for continued connection, sharing, and collaboration.

With Kaizala you can easily create, manage, and organize your company’s entire phone directory in a single place. You can add phone numbers and other key attributes such as name, email ID, company name, and designation for your employees, partners, and customers.

Step 1 – Export contacts from your existing systems

As a first step, export contact information from your existing systems such as RAMCO, SAP, Salesforce CRM, or others. If you are an existing Office 365 user and use Microsoft Entra ID to manage your employee information, use the Azure AD Sync capability provided by Kaizala.

Step 2 – Import contacts to Kaizala to prepare the phone directory
