LinkedIn is a professional networking platform founded in 2003 with over 1 million members worldwide. It offers various products, including Talent Solutions, Marketing Solutions, Sales Solutions, and Premium Subscriptions, generating revenue from each. The platform provides insights for workforce planning, hiring, nurturing, and developing talent. It also helps companies reach, engage, and convert their audiences, manage their professional identity, grow their network, find jobs, and connect with talent.

This acquisition has allowed Microsoft to integrate LinkedIn's professional network into its suite of productivity and collaboration tools, such as Office 365 and Dynamics 365.
