Dear Miller Yuraszek,
We require clarification for one of the points in your original Freedom of
Information request.
In point 11 you state “Do you use Microsoft’s Active Directory to manage
your people data? If so, is your Active Directory (AD) managed on-premise
or in the cloud?”.
Would you please be able to clarify what is meant by using Microsoft’s
Active Directory to manage your people data?
Kind Regards,
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION TEAM

Dear Mr. Yuraszek,
FOI/2019/0050
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request received 7^th November.
1) How many employees are working for your organisation, including
full-time, part-time, and contracted staff?
It varies seasonally from c.1,000 to c.1,300
2) What is your annual intranet budget?
£0
3) What is your current intranet solution? (e.g. Invotra, Sharepoint,
Kahootz,
Umbraco)
A version of Sitecore
4) How long have you been using this solution, and when does your contract
expire?
Service has been in place for c. 13yrs and is unsupported - there is no
contract
5) Do you work with an external partner to supply your intranet? If not,
do you develop your intranet internally?
Intranet has no external partner and is only administrated - no
development takes place within the Intranet/Sitecore environment. Some web
forms are developed in house, but are not technically integrated to the
intranet (only linked from it).
6) Which team/individual is responsible for managing your intranet
internally?
It is not managed by anyone as it lacks a business owner. It is
administrated by ICT (who set up/close down CMS contributor accounts and
provide CMS training).
7) Which other organisations have access to your intranet?
None
8) Do you share IT services with other organisations?
No
9) Are you using the Office 365 suite? If so, which applications from the
suite are in use?
Primarily the Office suite plus OneDrive and Outlook. There is some use of
other parts (Delve, SharePoint Online, Teams primarily) but these services
have not been officially launched, training is only now being put together
and support by ICT is on a best-endeavours basis.
10) Who is responsible for your intranet’s procurement within the
organisation?
ICT and People and Culture
11) Do you use Microsoft’s Active Directory to manage your people data? If
so, is your Active Directory (AD) managed on-premise or in the cloud?
Active Directory is hybrid (on-premise and replicated to the cloud)
12) Do you use any other Software as a Service (SaaS) applications? (e.g.
Atlassian/Jira, Slack, Trello, Xero)
We use several SAAS solutions
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the
right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be
submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your
original letter and should be addressed
to: [1][Science Museum Group request email]
Please remember to quote the reference number FOI/2019/0050 in any future
communications about this request to help us respond as quickly as
possible to your enquiries.
If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision
(please be aware that the Commissioner will be unlikely to make a decision
until you have been through our internal complaints procedure first). The
Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information Commissioner's
Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
