Delve, Sway, Revolve: For those who don\u2019t follow Microsoft\u2019s products closely, the words might sound like instructions for a nerdy line dance. But like the mashup generation they\u2019re written for, the three new apps take elements of Microsoft\u2019s productivity generation and blend them together.<\/p>\n

The mantra of productivity is months old by this point. Microsoft\u2019s former chief executive, Steve Ballmer, began proclaiming it, and it\u2019s been a rallying cry for Satya Nadella, too. Frank Shaw, the company\u2019s chief spokesman, reiterated the message in a blog post Monday, pointing out that Microsoft has adapted as its users\u2019 work habits have begun changing, too: Desktop and mobile are blurring, and apps need to be proactive, not just reactive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Microsoft\u2019s Delve collates information it thinks you\u2019ll need from colleagues.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Delve, information finds you versus you having to find information,\u201d Julia White, the general manager of Office, wrote at the time\u2014one of the points that Shaw, and Microsoft, have tried to make about Microsoft\u2019s new product portfolio.<\/p>\n
