7. But Why?
Why did Microsoft buy, need,
obtain, learn from and integrate
Yammer?

8. Where, Why, How?
• Where would I use it?
• On mobile devices as an app
• On Windows 8 as an app
• Via the Yammer Website
• Integrated into a site, as a group focused app
• Why would I use it?
• Replace common/poor uses for email
• Project/Topic correspondence
• Announcements
• Discussions
• Jokes and Funnies
• Respectful Communications
• Your picture, name and the history of the conversation
stays in tact and for all to see = Self Policing discussions
• How will it serve me better than what I have?
• Users can pick their preferred platform to engage,
young or old
• Search and Categorization/finding content in
discussions is much easier
• Because Microsoft says so
