Why isnt all employee directory related data managed in PeopleSoft?
When PeopleSoft was developed in 2001, it was not a tool that was distributed to administrators. Since a distributed data entry process was needed for phonebook data, a Web Directory Update tool (WDU) was created to allow local departments to input data to the identity database. As part of the new identity data management project, the MIDAS application is replacing WDU. The two input processes (MIDAS and PeopleSoft) may be merged in the future, but is not planned at this time.
