ALT Viva provides an open and extensible platform, with an ecosystem of partners so it works with your existing systems and tools. Customers told us that they don’t want to start from scratch with a completely new system or to rip and replace their existing systems like HCM or LMS systems of record. Instead, they want to extend their existing investments, by better connecting them together and by making them available in a more modern experience to their employees. Viva, Teams, SharePoint, and Microsoft 365 allow you to build a full spectrum of apps and solutions to fit your unique needs, with a common framework, technology and data model on the back-end. So Microsoft is taking a platform and ecosystem approach across all.
