Reviews
(1-3 of 3)It is being used for the fulfillment of the following tasks: issuing of official communications to the staff, establishing communications between the executives of the company, organizing the logistics for the operation of business and personal events, publishing relevant and confidential information. Thanks to Yammer, the company has managed to strengthen the communication among the staff, obtaining favorable results through the optimization of the processes.
- Transmit information in real time, and fluidly.
- Encourages the collaboration and spontaneous participation from all, because all users are able to contribute ideas and knowledge.
- Contributes to the cohesion of all personnel--personally I feel included in the decisions of the company, because my contributions are taken into account.
- Promotes the initiation of productive communications, the possibility of sharing knowledge and experiences and of creating work teams to meet particular situations.
- I do not like the communications interface, I think they should improve the image, they should carry out a usability study in order to adapt the programs to different clients.
- It requires an excellent internet connection so that you can share documents, images or files with a lot of content, being in field work.
- Must offer a more creative and innovative image with aims that boost the creative sense of the staff.
It is not well adapted for the exclusive use of an exclusively personal communication network, considering that it is a work tool.

- The Microsoft Yammer application allowed us to significantly reduce the expenses allocated to the budget items of logistics, personnel mobilization and rental of premises, actions that have allowed the company to substantially improve its net income, and profits, being currently a more competitive company in the market. Now workers have greater benefits, a situation that motivates them to continue fulfilling and improving response times.
- The optimization of communication processes has resulted in improvements in construction results, understanding that we have a greater capacity to correctly transmit instruction, avoid duplication of efforts and specify tasks as initially established.
- The company has increased its performance and market value.
The company decided to select Yammer over other programs because Yammer is safer and more prestigious professional. Its tools are better elaborated and its design is ideal for the management of corporate character communications.

Yammer to improve team collaboration across regions
- Document reviewing: We use a lot the functionality of versioning documents and adding comments.
- Notification: Notify only relevant people about news and project progress, this is critical to us and it reduces clutter in our own inbox but still keeps people informed.
- Tagging: Files and posts can be tagged and categorized for a better searchability. Over time we have built a fully structure taxonomy of tags that allows us to find information very quickly in the system.
- Document editing is still poor. The rich text editor is far from being rich, compared to other online editors in the market.
- Import/export of data is limited. Often we are challenged with the need for importing a massive repository of documents, from file system or SharePoint for example. When closing a group, we also need to archive all posts and documents contained.
- Layout personalization: Very little can be changed to the layout of a Yammer site. We'd like to introduce more advanced branding of the site and increase the portal identity.
2) Can I do full editing, versioning and reviewing of documents directly on Yammer, or do I still need Office-like applications for editing?
3) How robust and complete is the mobile offering?
- Reduced waste of time and emails generated in communication among geographically disperse teams.
- Improved searchability of information, files and discussions.
- Feeling of being connected to the overall organization and across departments.
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Possibility to post news and status updates to individuals and groups
- Grouping of people in project teams that are close and limited in duration, or open and never-ending for conversation
- Reviewing and versioning of documents, with advanced taxonomy classification and search features
- Easy to implement and use, integrable with SharePoint (used for our intranet) and accessible from mobile devices not connected to the corporate VPN
Also, integration with SharePoint is still limited, despite both being Microsoft products. Expectation was to have the possibility to store documents on SharePoint, using Yammer as the collaboration interface, and to run SharePoint workflows that perform actions on Yammer. This level of integration is only achievable by using third-party tools, like our own Nintex Workflow and Nintex Live solutions.
