Understanding How Employee Directory Details are Synced and Made Available in Microsoft 365.

How do you create a powerful Expertise Directory in Microsoft 365?

We’ve all experienced that moment at work — you’re on track to meet the next deadline but then suddenly, you hit a wall. You need a critical piece of information, but you have no idea where to locate it. It feels like searching for a needle in a haystack. After exhausting your options, you turn to a colleague, only to find they're as clueless as you are. This highlights a fundamental issue many employees face: the difficulty in easily accessing information and identifying experts within their organization.

In today’s fast-paced product development world, leveraging the power of artificial intelligence is not just a luxury—it's a necessity.

If you work in a professional services firm, you will know that effective communication and seamless collaboration are essential for success. With numerous projects, diverse teams, and complex client requirements, the need for a centralized platform that fosters information sharing and collaboration has never been greater.

As mentioned in my previous article, we have integrated ChatGPT in our Atlas product. This was both challenging and fun. The OpenAI API is well documented, so is the Azure OpenAI service. However, one of the things that is not completely documented, is the Stream option. This allows you to call the API and get the response as a stream of data, so you are getting data from the very first second, and you don´t have to wait for the entire response. Note that depending on your request, ChatGPT can take some seconds until you get the response, so from a UX point of view, it is potentially a better experience if you start showing data while the response is fully completed.

Unless you are in a desert island with no internet connection, you have heard about ChatGPT. In its own words (and I really mean it, as I have asked ChatGPT for a short summary about it):

Microsoft 365 Copilot (Copilot) is developed by Microsoft and integrated into your Microsoft 365 tenant (subject to licensing and so forth), and was announced to the wider world on March 16, 2023.
