Lojycal vs. Microsoft Graph

Why Microsoft Graph Isn't an Operational Graph

Microsoft Graph exposes Microsoft's own object model — users, groups, mail, files. A Workplace Operations Graph connects the objects a modern business actually runs on.

Lojycal — Workplace Operations Graph

What the operational graph covers

  • Employees
  • Assets
  • Licenses
  • Contracts
  • Vendors
  • Procurement
  • Financials
  • Compliance
  • Domains
  • Endpoints

Microsoft Graph is an excellent API surface over the Microsoft ecosystem. If you live entirely inside M365, it will tell you a great deal about the objects Microsoft already owns.

But the operational objects a modern business runs on — commercial contracts, vendors, procurement records, invoices, non-Microsoft SaaS applications, compliance controls, domains, external endpoints — are not in the Microsoft object model. They cannot be, because Microsoft doesn't own the underlying agreements.

Lojycal starts one level up: at the operational record itself. Microsoft objects become one input alongside HRIS, IdP, MDM, ERP, procurement, contracts and compliance evidence — connected as a single graph, not stitched together per query.
