<p>Microsoft kicked off this week's SharePoint Conference 2014 with a demo of several new features coming to the collaboration platform later this year, bringing the social graph closer into the productivity experience with tighter Yammer integration and a search feature that works across the entire Microsoft Office ecosystem.</p><p>Microsoft is working to bring its Yammer acquisition to bear with a SharePoint experience that provides better context around the people and content users work with every day. Microsoft is referring to the underlying "intelligence fabric" on the backend as the Office Graph, which is constantly watching and learning from user activity and trying to make smarter connections between people and content. Think of it like Facebook's own trademark social graph, but for enterprise data.</p><p>"We believe the future of work is all about working like a network. It's about how we build relationships, share information, and respond to ever-changing conditions. And it's founded on an openness and transparency that will drive a new level of productivity," writes Teper in an official Microsoft blog post.</p><p>Related: A Jive sale could be bad news for standalone enterprise social products</p><p><a href="http://www.citeworld.com/social/23056/microsoft-sharepoint-personal-graph-search-yammer-integration">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://blogs.seattletimes.com/microsoftpri0/2014/03/03/microsoft-to-integrate-more-social-personalization-capabilities-into-sharepoint-office-365/">Microsoft to include more social, personalization capabilities in SharePoint ...</a> (The Seattle Times (blog))</p><p><a href="http://redmondmag.com/articles/2014/03/03/next-exchange-and-sharepoint.aspx">Next Exchange and SharePoint Server Products Arriving in 2015</a> (Redmondmag.com)</p><p><a href="http://www.fiercecontentmanagement.com/story/goodbye-sharepoint-social-hello-yammer/2014-03-05">Goodbye SharePoint social, hello Yammer</a> (FierceContentManagement)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=d6uKJLVKTaeFYPMUOKwAMZmicCvxM&authuser=0&ned=us">179 additional articles.</a></p>
