We’ve spent the past few months working behind the scenes on one of the biggest upgrades to OneDirectory since its launch.

We’re excited to share that the entire core of OneDirectory has been upgraded to a faster, more maintainable platform, now fully deployed across all our regions. As part of this work, we restructured the entire codebase and rebuilt our architecture on a more modern foundation.

While this upgrade isn’t something you’ll notice visually, it brings improved stability and performance, and makes it easier for us to deliver new features faster. We also used the opportunity to strengthen our security foundations and further protect your data behind the scenes.

OneDirectory has come a long way since our original Staff Directory web part launched back in 2011. As the OG enterprise employee directory for Microsoft, we're committed to pushing the boundaries of what employee directories can do and continuing to lead this space.

If you're a customer, thanks for being a part of our journey! We’ve got an exciting roadmap ahead with some new things in the works, and we can’t wait to show you what’s coming next.
