- Office 365 gives you the flexibility
and choice in how you share, communicate, and connect.
With new LinkedIn integrations,
Office 365 brings you rich insights
and intelligent services that harness
the power of your professional network.
The first area where this becomes real
is with the new Office 365 profile card.
Recently, we introduced a redesigned profile card
that allows you to see rich insights about the people
that you're working with from across your organization.
The new org chart shows you a complete view
of a person's position in the company,
including their direct reports and co-workers.
You can also see a history of your conversations
and files that you're collaborating on.
But, with a lot of email conversations taking place
outside your organization,
we wanted it to make easier for you to understand
who you're working with
and ultimately build stronger relationships.
With the new LinkedIn integration,
every time I come across and external contact,
I can hover over their name and click "view profile."
Office 365 uses the LinkedIn graft
to help source the right person.
If there's more than one match,
our intelligent services will present
a short list of likely contacts.
The information presented here respects
the privacy preferences of the LinkedIn user.
In this case, I'm not connected with Cem on LinkedIn yet,
but I can see profile information
that he has chosen to share publicly,
including a profile picture, mutual connections,
and work experience.
Plus, I can quickly add this contact to my network.
I also continue to have access to the full power
of the profile card's files and conversation history.
We're beginning to roll out this new experience
in the browser, and it's coming soon
across our Microsoft services.
So, let me explain what makes this possible.
Behind the scenes, we establish a connection
between your LinkedIn account
and your Azure Active directory,
the central identity management system for Office 365.
Every time you look up a person,
we dynamically pull their information from LinkedIn,
and display it within the profile card
to make sure that you're always looking at
the most up-to-date information.
As a user, your data remains yours,
and your LinkedIn privacy settings are respected.
You're always in control of who you connect with,
and you can unlink your account at any time.
If you're an admin,
you're also in control of connected features in your tenant,
and you can turn this capability off or on at any time.
Beyond the new profile card,
we wanted to leverage the intelligence of LinkedIn
to help improve other common scenarios.
We know that around 80% of resumes worldwide
are created in Microsoft Word,
so we wanted to set out to make
finding your next job easier,
with a new feature called Resume Assistant.
Now, as I'm preparing my resume,
Word can provide recommendations
for sought after experiences and skills
that I should amplify
based on aggregate role and industry data
from across LinkedIn.
In this case,
Word has automatically detected that I'm creating a resume,
but you can also access Resume Assistant
from the review tab.
Word has automatically scanned my resume
to identify the roles that I have experience in
and connected with LinkedIn
to find the highest-performing examples of work experiences
written by similar people for similar roles.
You can scroll through them
to get an inspiration for writing your own,
and you can also update the industry at any time
to narrow your results.
Resume Assistant also helps you to see the top skills
that other people with your desired role
tend to highlight on their LinkedIn profile.
Including these in your resume
can help you stand out to recruiters.
You'll also find articles to help you write your resume
and stay ahead of other candidates.
To help you further,
you can also see open job opportunities
that are updated in real time,
thanks to the power of LinkedIn,
and further tailor your resume
based on the skills that the employers
are currently advertising for.
Finally, within Resume Assistant,
you can privately let recruiters know
that you're open to new opportunities,
and keep moving closer to landing your dream job.
Behind the scenes,
Word applies cognitive services
to determine your line of work,
and can search LinkedIn's professional network
to find key skills and terms from across your industry,
then present that for you in a digestible format.
We're also making it easier
to improve your office skillset
by bringing access to helpful videos from LinkedIn
right into the office apps.
For example, here I am in Excel,
and I'm interested in creating a pivot table.
If I don't have any experience in doing this,
I can type "pivot table" into the Tell Me bar,
go to "help," and now I can see rich content
that guides me through the process
of building a pivot table.
I can follow along with the instructions in the video
without ever having to leave Excel,
making it easier than ever to master complex tasks
throughout Office 365.
These capabilities will be rolling out soon,
and we're continuing to find innovative new ways
to help you be more productive.
And, together with LinkedIn,
we're working on a number of
exciting new features for Office 365.
Look out for more news in the coming months.
Thanks for watching.
