Getting employee address from SharePoint search or Delve

Question

We have an Intranet running on SharePoint, and we use a third-party people finder plugin (from Valo) to search for employees, once we click more info for an employee it takes us to the the Delve profile.

One of the most requested property is the Office Address fro employees, but I cant seem to find a way to get it displayed in Delve.

Any hope or should we start creating our own employee directory using SharePoint lists or something else...

Here is a something else recommendation, host your data in AD and pull it into SharePoint with a BI connection. I think your biggest issue here is sustainability since people tend to move often and you need to have a single source of truth.

We already have the Office address info populated in AD.&nbsp;Can you please let me know the basics to get this info into SharePoint with BI? I have no clue where to start.

I've used a 3rd party product for importing:

Using default Microsoft import is a bit out of my league, here I think is a starting point:
