Microsoft Viva: Like a tree it needs good roots.

Viva - What you see (Goals, Insights,...) needs deep roots (Graph, Syntex) and nutrient (data form source systems)

In the modern business landscape, leadership's ability to gain a clear view of strategy and its implementation is paramount. Microsoft Viva, coupled with Copilot, their imbedded A.I., presents an elegant solution that provides this clarity. It's the visible part of the equation, akin to a magnificent, thriving tree that captures our attention.

However, just like a tree draws its sustenance from an intricate network of roots beneath the surface, For Microsoft these roots are Graph and Syntex that capture the relationships of everything so that Copilot knows where to look for information.

The analogy doesn't end there – the nutrients are the essential data that fuels the system. They flow from transaction systems, such as Dynamics 365, Salesforce, etc.
