Delve and Office Graph

Delve is a growing set of Office 365 features that help users discover people and documents in Office 365 and promote collaboration. Recent improvements help employees analyze collaboration, and longer-term improvements could target information delivery via corporate portals. Office Graph, a service of Office 365, provides user activity information to Delve and could be useful for applications outside of Delve, such as customer relationship management (CRM) systems. However, Delve and Office Graph pose security and privacy risks, so organizations might want to limit deployment until they understand their impact.

The Delve name also formerly applied to Delve Analytics, which is now called MyAnalytics. (See the illustration “MyAnalytics“.)
