December 11, 2015 - Research P218

On November 30, Microsoft announced the release of its Office 365 Enterprise Suite (E5) with enhancements to Skype for Business, the Office Suite itself, and analytics and machine learning. Nucleus expects that the additional capabilities will make Office a broader substitute for conferencing, e-discovery, and other niche applications today. Short-term productivity gains are likely in the 3 to 5 percent range for users; however, for motivated workers, insights gained by Delve will likely drive more significant performance improvements over time.
