Timebox. Triangulate. Optimize. Triage. You could create an entire language out of productivity buzzwords—but jargon doesn’t help you hack new ways to get things done. Building productivity solutions that make a bottom-line difference for companies and organizations takes imagination–and some powerful APIs.

Hack Productivity presents you with a new coding challenge for business: use the intelligence of Microsoft Office, Graph, and SharePoint to build apps with a modern approach to workplace efficiency and collaboration.

The Microsoft Office APIs let you build directly into the industry standard for productivity software, using the language of your choice—Angular, Node.js, ASP.NET, Objective-C, or any other—and running on most major platforms, including Web, Windows, iPad and Mac. The capabilities of Microsoft Graph enable you to build smarter apps by connecting to Microsoft services through a single endpoint. SharePoint fills out your toolbox by letting you build content sharing, discovery, and collaboration into your apps.

Use Microsoft Office, Graph, and SharePoint to help all kinds of businesses—large enterprises, SMEs, non-profits, home offices, and schools—do their best work.
