Chapter 2: Organizing and Finding Information with Microsoft Delve
Microsoft, as a leader in several areas of activity related to modern IT and the modern workplace (for example, in communication with Microsoft Teams, in low-code/no-code with the Power Platform, and in collaboration with OneDrive), has focused all its products on "productivity." It has done this even if it means remodeling its products, as in the case of Cortana, which is no longer a virtual assistant like its peers Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant and has become the Microsoft 365 Assistant. It has also done this by making new gadgets for that purpose, such as Surface Earbuds.
The masterpiece of Microsoft's strategy is to focus on the employee (Figure 2.1), placing them at the center of all its services and products, and embracing them so that they can work intelligently.

That's why personal productivity begins by being able to easily and efficiently access the information you need when you need it, and for that, Microsoft created Delve.
