Description : 

Sometimes, making an impact at work can seem difficult. You have great ideas, but it's hard to find the right people to share them with. Working openly in an open and connected workplace can change that. 

Yammer is a secure, private social network for your company. Yammer empowers employees to be more productive and successful by enabling them to collaborate easily, make smarter decisions faster, and self-organize into teams to take on any business challenge. 

It is a new way of working that naturally drives business alignment and agility, reduces cycle times, engages employees and improves relationships with customers and partners.

Watch how Yammer makes it easier to get work done, and helps you go beyond your job description. 

As you know i'm an active networker on a regular basis and i like to share my social media presence with you. This is probably the easiest way to connect with my Yammer profile and networks. Let's connect and don't forget to like also our Facebook page!

“We are taking bold steps at Microsoft,” Ballmer said. "The new, modern Office will deliver unparalleled productivity and flexibility for both consumers and business customers. It is a cloud service and will fully light-up when paired with Windows 8."
