helping customers get the most out of Microsoft 365

Today, we are pleased to introduce Adoption Score, a set of metrics and tools for Microsoft 365 admins and IT leaders to improve the everyday experiences of their workforce and to help organizations get the most out of their investment in Microsoft 365. Importantly, Adoption Score is backed by Microsoft's continued commitment to user-level privacy - meaning no one in a customer's organization can use Adoption Score to access data about how an individual user is using apps and services in Microsoft 365. The anonymized metrics in Adoption Score help IT admins understand and optimize Microsoft 365 usage patterns in support of their digital transformation journey. Over the coming months, we will be releasing additional new functionality to Adoption Score that aims to change how IT admins support their workforce and help their organizations to get more out of Microsoft 365, all while maintaining our commitment to user level privacy. Adoption Score is available as a capability within the Microsoft 365 admin center. We're excited for the role Adoption Score will play in helping organizations get the most out of their investment in Microsoft 365. Check out what features are in development or coming soon on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap or, learn more about the Time trends roadmap item: Time trends for Adoption Score people experiences.
