With Office 365 E5 Microsoft has combined their most advanced workloads into a single powerful bundle. I’d would like to continue the conversation about the changes with E5 building from my colleague’s blog post. In the post each of the workloads are called out. This post will examine Productivity and the ability to measure your personal productivity easily through a dashboard. While at the same time interacting with content created by your teams and changing from search to discoverability.
The E5 Suite
 |
Many articles describe the E5 Microsoft's Productivity suite as “dial tone” in the cloud. In the next few moments, it’s important for you to read on; E5 to me is a platform for true business transformation. E5 with Delve analytics (“machine learning”) will revolution and improve how you work as an individual among your enterprise and groups within the enterprise. The E5 bundle is broken down into 3 core areas of focus. We will examine Delve Analytics in this post. We “delve” into Why, How, What is Delve Analytics.
Why Delve Analytics?
Delve Analytics is about providing insights into personal productivity. As a productivity evangelist; I tend to find the shortest path and least resistant path to completing an activity or task. Every information works differently; image for a moment having a “dashboard” to quickly see how you’re working.
Delve Analytics goes beyond a productivity enhancer; it provides a view into your ability to balance work and personal along with your best ways for communicating with others. If you want to understand how the collaboration work is interacting with others and getting work done; keep reading to explore Delve Analytics further.
Delve Organizational Analytics builds on the current Delve features and gives additional personalized insights from the most commonly utilized user data and coworker interactions. A dashboard has been added to measure, track and identify key trends such as frequently used team documents and leading team interactions.
How does Delve Analytics work?
While we will dive much deeper into Delve Analytics, there are a few important details to bear in mind as you consider the platform as a whole. Office looks at “actors” (ME), action types, time, and weight, along with objects (documents or people). This creates relationships and trends around a “user centric” view using modified and viewed actions. These are also known as social and content “Signals”. “Signals” are security aware; therefore, content is shared only to those in your network.
You'll see your own documents from across Office 365, and documents that your colleagues are working on. You'll only see documents you have access to. Other people will not see your private documents.
What is Delve Analytics?
Delve Analytics—Empowers individuals through rich dashboards that provide insights on time and relationships, with the goal of helping individuals get time back and spend it effectively. Delve provides “cards” similar to the customer version of Pinterest. Delve using machine learning who you interact with and types of content being created.
- Quickly there are a number of items to see in one view.
- Simple to view cards display information
- Add to a board
- Make a comment in a conversation
- See who as access to the content
- Email a link to the content
Boards let you group documents and get back to them later. Boards (similar to Pinterest) are easy to share, too. You can, for example, create a board to pin important topical documents and share the link to your team. This provides an enabling experience for users without long wait times for Information Technology to setup and configure or define a project to create a productivity tool.
Boards are open; however, if a board has documents that you don't have access to, those documents will not show up for you. Share a link to invite relevant participates to follow the board and pin other content of interest.
Get your organization involved with discovering content transforming search to discoverability, building networks for innovation using greater transparency throughout your organization.
Grow your company align with the vision and goals by empowering everyone to be experts through advanced Collaboration.
