Microsoft and Watch Workplace Picnic Goal OnlineLinkedIn are officially connected.

The software giant and the professional social network closed the $26.2 billion acquisition that was agreed on in June, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced Thursday along with a list of immediate changes.

Nadella wrote that the mission is to "accelerate" LinkedIn's growth. Currently, the site receives more than 100 million visitors per month.

Almost no matter what you use Microsoft for, get ready to see more from LinkedIn. The changes will bring together LinkedIn's content and network with Microsoft's productivity tools.

These are the examples Nadella outlined:

• LinkedIn identity and network in Microsoft Outlook and the Office suite

• LinkedIn notifications within the Windows action center

• Enabling members drafting résumés in Word to update their profiles, and discover and apply to jobs on LinkedIn

• Extending the reach of Sponsored Content across Microsoft properties

• Enterprise LinkedIn Lookup powered by Active Directory and Office 365

• LinkedIn Learning available across the Office 365 and Windows ecosystem

• Developing a business news desk across Microsoft's content ecosystem and MSN.com

• Redefining social selling through the combination of Sales Navigator and Dynamics 365

"Technology alone will not solve these challenges, but together, working across private and public sectors, we can create more opportunity for everyone to participate and share in economic growth," Nadella wrote in the blog post.
