More importantly, whereas Sharepoint is a concept for getting you up to speed while in the office, Viva wants to help you work from home.<\/p>\n<p>Pay attention, though, and you\u2019ll see a concept video from Microsoft on what work might be like in the future.

In previous vision videos, Microsoft seems to look toward a future when every surface is a Windows device.

That video posited that in five years (now!), we\u2019d use every surface as a work device: your walls, your windows, your countertops. Microsoft suggested we\u2019d create new foldable devices similar to newspapers, new tablets, wireless earbuds, and larger touchscreens along the way.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Microsoft: Productivity Future Vision\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w-tFdreZB94?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Some of that\u2019s true! We now have early examples of foldable devices, larger touchscreens, and wireless earbuds are everywhere. But while Microsoft focused on concept devices, the message behind its vision is that we can be more productive in the office and on the go. \u201cMore productivity means you take work everywhere.\u201d And nearly every collaboration h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ens in person.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft\u2019s new vision video is distinctly different. Ignore the CGI holograms for a moment, and you\u2019ll notice something\u2014none of the devices are concepts. Behind the holograms, you\u2019ll see Surface Pros and Surface Duos, real devices.<\/p>\n<p>The point isn\u2019t what our devices will be like someday, but how our work life is changing. In past videos, Microsoft envisioned a world where our gadgets made us more productive in the office and at a restaurant. The videos dreamed of how we\u2019d work together in person. The latest video eschews all that and focuses on working almost entirely from home.<\/p>\n<p>The video introduces us to \u201cMila,\u201d a woman about to begin her first day of work. Does she go into the office to meet her colleagues and fill out paperwork? No, she calls in from home via video conferencing. In the morning, she gets up, makes breakfast, gets ready for work (with hints of a plausible smart mirror), then heads to her office in her home to start work.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-69944 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/89e918e86b7532f5c31f81fd15e411bd\/p\/uploads\/2021\/02\/x1ac42e18.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.IvuFJvq-M3.jpg\" alt=\"A woman working in a home office.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Microsoft\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Microsoft<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And that\u2019s where she stays. We see one instance where she shows up at the office for a quick meeting, but otherwise, she always works from home. When it\u2019s time to deliver a presentation on a new idea, she does that from home, too (through a strange hologram we\u2019ll call telepresence). It\u2019s the most important day of her job yet, and she doesn\u2019t leave home.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a big deal because while more people are working from home right now due to the pandemic, most companies (including Microsoft at one point) have treated it as a temporary measure. Something that will end when the world gets back to normal.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-69946 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/7039bf688ab4e739d231241f352310e8\/p\/uploads\/2021\/02\/x8b644d5b.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.7MU1p7-DWc.jpg\" alt=\"A digital feedback form in a video call.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Microsoft\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Microsoft<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But now, Microsoft seems to be embracing where working from home is the new normal. It says more people will permanently maintain their offices in their apartments and houses. We may occasionally visit the office if necessary, but that\u2019s the exception, not the rule. Virtual calls will work for even the most critical tasks.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that Microsoft isn\u2019t showing off any true future tech outside the holograms is the most telling part. All of the actual processes are plausible with the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> and devices we have right now.

And Viva, Microsoft\u2019s new \u201cintranet\u201d program, enables that now. Microsoft\u2019s vision for the future is a world where companies embrace the realities of this moment, even after the pandemic fades away. Working from home is plausible now. And while there may always be a place for offices, you may seldom visit it. You won\u2019t take your work with you everywhere, your work is already with you before you even leave home.<\/p>\n<p>And for once, Microsoft\u2019s vision seems borne in reality and plausibility, and it\u2019s working on tools we might use to make it happen. We\u2019ll see how it shakes out\u2014in five years.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/redirect.viglink.com?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Fmicrosoft-viva%2F&amp;key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482\">Microsoft<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>setTimeout(function(){!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');fbq('init','1137093656460433');fbq('track','PageView');},3000);<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
