The new surface is expected to surface users’ contacts’ LinkedIn Profile in the Microsoft services. This would make it easier for people to make them aware who they are working with. It will allow them to view their information and will help them to add the contacts right from the app. this is the first professional use of the social network since LinkedIn was acquired for $26 billion in 2016.

The next intelligent move by Microsoft would be if the Profile Cards make their way into Teams which will make it a pretty useful tool for ending the slow email chains among companies, partners, and clients who work together on different projects together.
