In the corporate world, Active Directory works in the same manner as corporate white pages does. It is used for decision making and hence, maintaining and updating the employee's information like address, contact details, designation in the directory is important.
Employees retrieve their co-worker's details through Outlook that uses Active Directory to draw the employee's detail. In short, the entire organisation uses Active Directory information for their official purposes.
