GALSYNC TOOL for Microsoft 365
Address list synchronisation for Microsoft enterprises
Keep everyone in touch in separate & security-conscious organisations
Overview
Keep your company & partner organisations in touch.
Large and distributed organisations, those that have recently undergone mergers, or security conscious entities such as defence or financial institutions, often have multiple separate Microsoft Exchange environments.
This presents a challenge for email communication, as contacts from different Exchange sites do not automatically populate into everyone’s Outlook’s Global Address List (GAL).
Using our GAL synchroniser you can bridge this gap, giving users seamless access to contact information, but without connecting other aspects of the environment.
BENEFITS
The benefits of our storage migration service
Streamline communications
- Give staff in each domain the correct address details for contacting the relevant people
- Ensure distribution groups have the right people in them
- Trigger updates from multiple sources including HR & staff roster systems
- Each party keeps their own directory – there’s no loss of ownership
- Meet stringent security or compliance requirements.
The IT pro’s favourite dirsync tool
It’s incredibly easy to configure and can save months of effort working with Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM).
Technical teams love it as it doesn’t become the main directory and doesn’t create a central, master directory.
It simply synchronises directory information, so there’s no issues over politics or security, or maintaining yet another directory!
Ease migrations & mergers
Address list synchronisation ensures people across different organisations can easily find and communicate with one another, even when systems, domains, or directories aren’t aligned.
- Support seamless co-existence during migration
- Maintain a common domain name following a takeover, merger or acquisition
- A Swap Proxy function lets the ‘outside world’ use your new corporate address, even though internal systems are still using the ‘old’ email addresses.

What our customers have to say about us
What our customers have to say
[Thanks to syncing AD with our HR system] there is now a greater confidence across the business that the information people now see in their iPhones and email is accurate, and manual data entry has all but been eliminated.
Andrew Dugdell, Business Systems Manager at Kumtor Gold Company (KGC)
What our customers have to say
“We have been using this tool for a number of years and have been extremely happy with the product and quality of service we have been provided with. It is extremely easy to configure and to set up any new connections with a variety of different directory types. Any issues or questions are promptly addressed and answered to our satisfaction. Due to this we have actually recommended it to our colleagues and clients as they have identified new requirements. This has resulted in an increased usage of the product within our department.”
Microsoft solutions provider partner
What our customers have to say
“We have recently merged with another company and we are both running our own domain/Exchange environments and are under increasing pressure to have all users appear in both companies (sic) address books. We were initially looking at using the Microsoft tool to do this, but after seeing what UnitySync can do, the solution looks a lot easier and would allow us to both keep control of our own environments.”
Company merger
What our customers have to say
“The difference between this and the alternatives I’ve seen and used is that it makes the task of building a global directory very simple and straightforward…it didn’t disappoint.”
