Every day we see more and more machine learning making its way into our lives. From phones and watches to computers and laptops, it’s hard to do anything in the world today without interacting with \u2018intelligent\u2019 computers. Well, Office 365 has taken things to a new level, and will be getting more than a few of these features in the near future. Read on to prepare your business for all the changes coming to Office 365.<\/p>\n
How many times have you been working in a Word document or an Outlook email and needed to quote a report or copy in a graph from another file? With 365\u2019s new \u2018Tap\u2019 service, you have the option to do that without even leaving the application you’re working in. Microsoft\u2019s intelligent assistant will even suggest information and data for you to insert based on what you\u2019re writing. You may not even have to make the search — it will predict what you need in advance!<\/p>\n
A blank canvas is always intimidating when creating a presentation. Quickstarter for PowerPoint and Sway gives you the boost you need by suggesting outlines, layouts, and even information based on the subject you\u2019re presenting on. For example, if you\u2019re holding a meeting to discuss a business retreat, Quickstarter will suggest page layouts and important text for lodging, transportation, itinerary, etc. Half of your presentation could be finished within minutes of starting it.<\/p>\n
Sometimes it seems like everyone else has stunningly beautiful PowerPoint presentations while ours just look like stock templates. And that\u2019s why we\u2019re so excited about the announcement of Designer. All you have to do is insert your text and your photos or graphics, and Microsoft\u2019s machine learning will automatically position, resize, and fade each component so it looks like a professionally designed slide.<\/p>\n
Everyone has made a graph based on Excel data before. It\u2019s probably the swiftest software solution for transforming numbers into charts on the market, and it\u2019s getting a pretty cool upgrade. Now you can convert geographic data like country names into colored and categorized maps. Go ahead and select a second column of data and watch the countries light up based on the differences between the data points in the second column. Do you have sales data that\u2019s organized by location? Maps will let you create a chart that displays that information with little to no manipulation necessary.<\/p>\n
The last announcement comes in the form of a standalone dashboard for aggregating your work habits. MyAnalytics pulls data from various 365 tasks to help you recognize meetings trends, most productive times of day, and project progression. And if you\u2019re not ready to do anything with this data yourself, the dashboard will make suggestions to you such as \u2018focus time,\u2019 best collaborators, and productivity goals.<\/p>\n
With these exciting and intelligent additions, entirely new levels of business productivity are possible. Even before Microsoft announced these features, Office 365 reigned supreme as one of only a few truly wonderful pieces of productivity software. If you haven\u2019t made the transition yet, there\u2019s no better time — call us today.<\/p>\n
