Microsoft Viva Connections

What is Viva Connections?

Viva Connections is a personalised desktop and mobile experience which is used to integrate an organisation’s intranet into Microsoft Teams. This enables quicker and easier access to conversations, news and relevant resources in one location rather than having to navigate between internet browsers and Microsoft Teams.

Why should organisations adopt Viva Connections?

Microsoft Viva Connections will modernise the way that your employees interact with Microsoft 365 by using an integrated intranet. An integrated intranet allows employees to stay connected and keep on top of company updates without having to navigate between browsers. Whether your employees are in the office, working from home, or out in the field, they’ll be able to carry out their daily tasks more efficiently and stay in touch more easily.

Microsoft Viva Connections aims to support higher levels of engagement and productivity due to improved accessibility to resources and more streamlined task management. Multi-tasking will also be facilitated as colleagues will be able to communicate with one another whilst working on projects – all within the same environment.

How does Viva Connections work?

Microsoft Viva Connections functions using these three components:

The Dashboard

The Dashboard is your employee’s digital toolset, allowing access to tasks and data at any time, from any place. Dynamic cards are used to provide a low-code solution to bring your line-of-business apps into The Dashboard.

The Feed

The Feed is integrated with Yammer, SharePoint News and Stream to deliver scheduled and personalised updates to relevant people based on post-level targeting of employee groups. It supports centralised corporate communication scenarios and democratised news scenarios.

Resources

The Microsoft Viva Connections Resources experience enables way-finding between platforms and allows for audience-targeting by employing navigation elements from the SharePoint app bar.
