Acronym search in SharePoint and Office.com

Did you know that 2-3% of search queries entered by employees are related to acronyms? The new Acronyms feature in Microsoft Search helps users navigate their company’s often-confusing alphabet soup.

Then, when users come across an acronym they may not recognize, a simple search in SharePoint, Office.com, or Bing will reveal common definitions from your organization’s unique definitions in addition to AI mined suggestions from files and conversations.

Enrich Profile Cards in Office 365

The hundreds of millions of users of Microsoft 365 cloud services form part of the core of Microsoft Graph. The users’ data is carefully managed, protected, and with proper authorization, made available by Microsoft Graph services to drive productivity and creativity in businesses.

People are the heart and soul of intelligent insights in the Microsoft Graph, but more importantly of your company – but finding the right people at the right time isn’t always easy.  Sometimes you’re looking for more than just a name and face, maybe it’s a skill, location, or something else.

Now via the Microsoft Graph you can add any of the existing or 15 custom attributes to an individual’s profile card.
