"Microsoft To Add "Office Graph" features to Office 365 which makes it "Sociable""



Microsoft has come up with yet another update to its Office 365, by adding the feature of social "office Graph".This office Graph help people collaborate and communicate with other employees in their company. Microsoft with office Graphnow able to analyze how its users interact with email, documents, sites and instant messages to create a personalized view of their company network.

Microsoft says the basis for it comes from Yammer's Enterprise Graph which links people with their posts, likes, uploads and more on the social network.Microsoft’s new project, code-named “Oslo,” (top) builds on the concept of the Enterprise Graph, which Yammer introduced by trying to show how users were related to one another. The new app takes the Office Graph and shows content, for example, that “might be most relevant for each individual based on what they’re already doing in Exchange, Outlook, SharePoint, Office, Lync, and Yammer,” Jeff Teper, the corporate vice president for Office Service and Servers, said in a blog post. 

Microsoft is also bringing across the ‘Groups Experience’ from Yammer which, as the name implies, will allow users to set up a new group from within any Office 365 app. It automatically includes an inbox, social feed, calendar and document library that users can pull from to stay organized and work together with greater efficiency. Changes will also be synced with Yammer so users can pick their preferred platform.

Users will also soon notice a Yammer messenger built into documents stored with SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business. Furthermore, Microsoft says it’ll allow user to share new content to Yammer from SharePoint Online and Outlook and plans to integrate the business-focused social network with its video calling services Lync and Skype at some point in the future.

Microsoft said these updates will become available “throughout 2014″ but refrained from giving any firm release dates.
