Immense value of Microsoft Graph API

When Yahoo shut down Yahoo pipes,  I was dissapointed.  Google also tried to have a Mash-up system. Mozilla has been in this space too with a natural language derived system.  When tech giant Microsoft put forth their Graph API, I was skeptical but Microsoft has several advantages. First of all they created Visual Studio and Visual Studio code.  During the 2017 Powershell Conference presentation on the state of Powershell, Jeffrey Silver explained that Microsoft Powershell and Microsoft code is not simply a port for Linux but a powerful recreation of the editor and language that could be useful for Linux administration.  All this to say Microsoft Visual Studio is a mature professional product.  Other technologies such as Microsoft Office 365 are valuable assets as far as natural language processing is concerned.  Microsoft is considered a leader in the enterprise email space.

Microsoft created their first edition of Microsoft word in 1983.

Sharepoint is a leader in organizations communicating internally to other employees.  Because of the increasing amount of videos and voice communications and texts natural language processing is an important part of sharepoint.  Microsoft expressed desires to make determinations about how to allocate resources easier by using natural language processing. For example whom is talking to who within an organization.  Here is a picture from almost three years ago:

Today,  three years later, Microsoft connects with many Microsoft services.

Microsoft Delve is used to aggregate data across office 365. An example is and can tell a person if they are spending too much time at meetings and can aggregate data from emails about what meetings to skip if a person is double scheduled. It can be used to plan active directory federation services. 

Microsoft Flow is another utilization of Microsoft Graph. It can be used in automating workflow online such as posting files online or over a hundred social sites online including Twitter or Salesforce and can be embedded within your own applications.  It could be used to get notifications. Buttons are created and are like Macros except they require almost no coding.  Also triggers wait for an event to happen such as an email from a boss could be forwarded and others ignored. 

There are a couple different prices for Microsoft flow but there is also a free version which could be a mobile version.

The Microsoft Flow could be especially powerful when combined with Microsoft CRM or Skype for businesses.

When a part of Microsoft 365 your company can view your email address. Another caviot is at the present time is the only way to share a workflow is globally.  There might be a way in the future to only share the workflow.
