Flattens the organization

• The hierarchy is flattened through Enterprise social media
• Employees with great ideas have a direct line to the CEO, COO, CFO
• CEOs, COOs, and CFOs can feedback and ideas, without a filter, or trapped in some email sent to a director that got buried

Collaboration

• You never know who should be part of a conversation and what they can contribute. Yammer brings together people within your company and is an effective tool for collaboration.
• Employees can collaborate better in teams across silos such as HR, Sales, Accounting, IT, in different states, countries even companies
• Yammer eliminates duplication of work and communication, as content is easily searchable
• Employees can break down walls of communication

Better than Email

• By utilizing threads that the entire group can see, people can jump into the conversation when they are ready
• New hires or new additions to a project team can see the history of issues, solutions, and discussions that no one takes the time to forward via email
• Users can like content and show they support without creating another email that has to be read
• Content can be delivered on your terms – immediately, once a day summaries, or once a week summaries - users control the flow of data
• Built in – in the future Microsoft will be building in the ability to have Yammer conversations into each of their products

External Communication

• Partners and supply chain must work more cohesively than ever. Yammer can be easily extended to customers, partners and vendors, giving them the same collaboration tools
