Vol. 8 No. 2 (2016): EIS feeds more data into the machine learning and strengthening the processes intelligence

On this line the question which I had deliberately formulated is very much omnipresent “Why Microsoft bought LinkedIn for $26 billion”. The thought behind was that synergy categorically worth $26.1 billion, particularly after Microsoft fundamentally blew $7.2 billion chasing Nokia’s handset business? Well, contemplate about this: LinkedIn is primarily the Facebook of the business world, and the digital repository of most of the world’s resumes. You may falsehood to your friends roughly whether or not you like journey, but very few people propaganda about their resumes to prospective employers. And that’s information that Microsoft is enthusiastic to compensate. With that Merger and Acquisition (M&A) Microsoft knows your calendar (Outlook), your meetings (Outlook), your co-workers (Delve) your accounts (Microsoft Dynamics CRM) and some of your know-how (Delve). Microsoft calls this the Office Grid. Microsoft will expedite the LinkedIn information to empower applications like Delve—which is at present part of Office 365. By making Office 365 a more powerful application, Microsoft sells more Office 365 subscriptions, exactly to enterprises and small businesses— and possibly sells Lynda training subscriptions right together and finally make the two networks, together, essential.
