Microsoft Delve

Microsoft Delve is a tool designed to help users discover and connect with colleagues and relevant information within their organization. It leverages the Office Graph to provide insights into people and documents, making it easier for users to find what they need to get their job done. Delve offers features such as viewing profiles, accessing documents, and understanding organizational relationships. However, Microsoft has announced the retirement of Delve, recommending alternatives like Profile Cards, Org Explorer, and SharePoint for similar functionalities.

Delve was introduced as part of Office 365 to enhance collaboration and productivity by providing a centralized platform for users to explore their organizational network. It allowed users to see who their colleagues were working with, view documents they had shared, and discover relevant content based on their role and interests. Despite its capabilities, Delve faced challenges such as overwhelming search results and limited mobile functionality, leading to its eventual retirement.

For users transitioning from Delve, Microsoft suggests using other Microsoft 365 tools to maintain productivity and collaboration. These tools offer various features that can help users manage their organizational information and connections effectively. While Delve is no longer available, its legacy highlights the importance of integrating people and information within a digital workspace to enhance collaboration and efficiency.
